The Western Conference semifinals are now set and theHouston Rocketswill be taking on a young Utah Jazz squad. Much like the first round, Houston will deal with youth, but they will also take on a familiar rival.
While the Houston Rockets were making short work of the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round, wekept an eyeon the series between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Utah Jazz.

If there is a playoff series Houston Rockets fans wouldn’t mind seeing, it’s one between the Rockets and the Jazz. We’ve had some great series against the Jazz. But we’ve also had some heartbreaking moments against them too.
