Houston Rockets (3) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (6) – Cancel The Wedding, The Game Is On

If there’s only one NBA series to watch in the first round, it definitely better be the showcase between the top two leading NBA MVP candidates – James Harden vs Russell Westbrook, better known as the Rockets vs Thunder.

MVP candidates, and former teammates squaring off in an epic duel of eurostepping, elbow-jumpers, fouls on three-point shots, and monster dunks…what more do I need to say?

This series could be most exciting of the entire playoffs, not just round one. I wrote an article about this series a month ago!
