Top 3 West Teams Tanking against Houston??

Yeah, there's no conspiracy here, I mean it's fair to say that top teams get lazy sometimes or sleep on a bad team but as Rooscooter mentioned, nobody fears the Lakers this season. Yeah, **IF** the Lakers can make the playoffs there is a better than small chance they'll be a dark horse and make things tough for whoever they face, but otherwise they're just not on any team's radar.

What was the last time someone won the championship playing every series on the road?

I think Houston in the mid 90s...but shows you how rare it is to win it all coming from the bad spots without HCA
