    Houston isn’t beating this team in a seven game series, no one is.

    My father offered to make a bet with me 2 weeks ago that the Warriors would win, as I was saying Houston would take the series.

    Glad I didn't shake on that....

    I don't think the Rockets have a chance at all....they don't have the defense to deal with GS and they are playing ISO ball pretty much all the time....ball movement is gone...they look like we did in the first round

    That’s basically their game though. Is Harden or CP3 play one on one and either get their or hit shooters. The thing is GS has length all over and is able to keep the “other” guys pretty quiet. Also GS has so many weapons on offense it’s not all that fair.

    I think they looked much better on defense and ball movement in the regular season....Chris Paul basically beat the Jazz in the last game by himself...Harden hasn't shot that great in the post season games I've watched..seems off....said after the Jazz series he was under the weather.

    Time for Houston to blow it up and trade everyone.
    They maxed out this year. Still lost game 1, while they're looking at the Warriors thinking... 'Can we avoid being swept?'
    Houston will never win it all with a CP3 and Har_en backcourt.
    They're not good enough, need to trade one of them for a forward to balance their roster.

    Miniature back court which only one plays defense, with a big who can't be on the court against small ball lineups.

    Every year I think “fuck the nba, I don’t even like it and know what is gonna happen!” but every year I watch it anyway and remain miserable.

    Didn’t you say earlier this winter that they might not make the playoffs?

    Capela looks like a beast because he’s the LEAST guarded player in the league.
