Houston has upgraded more than you guys give them credit for. They were already pretty good but now they are even more of a dangerous team.
I don't think they really have a shot at winning the conference, but it wouldn't be THAT suprising if they did. They have two stars and a good supporting cast. Sure, getting over that 1st round hump will be a job but if they do - well, you don't want to finally see what McGrady can do if he gets playoff confidence. Hopefully they bow out early again - I know I don't want to face em come playoff time.
