    This impressed me most because they are a shell of 2015 team. Rockets really aren’t that good though.

    The Warriors are interesting. Obviously when Durant is Healthy they put out the most talented team maybe in the history of Basketball. Its kind of a team that doesn't look like it always fits together though. KD can be a bit of a black hole (an amazing one), while the rest of the team doesn't move as well when he plays or pass as well, they basically just know we have so much talent we’ll find a way to win most nights.
    When KD doesn’t play they all move well, the ball moves all over and the splash brothers and maybe more importantly the role players all look better and get better shots and opportunities to shine.
    Are they a better “team” without KD? I dont know, probably not. They’re still incredible though.

    What if Hood scores 30 also?

    It seems weird to say but Warriors seem to be easier to beat with Durant than without.

    Rockets are the margarine to the Warriors butter.

    Bad leadership for Houston. Just bad offense over the entire last 6 minutes with bad iso after bad iso, with no players stepping up or no coach changing what clearly wasn't working.

    It's funny how terrible that Chris Paul trade turned out to be. I'd rather have Harrell and Lou Williams straight up. Not to mention that Lou and Trezl will make $14M COMBINED next year, while Chris Paul will make $38M.

    It's funny how Darryl Morey and Sam Presti were made out to be top 5 GMs last year...

    Funny how things change.

    I don't think I have ever seen a team look so lackadaisical in a win or go home situation.

    I’m done, let’s stop all playoff games now and just give the trophy to the Warriors.

    Harden and Paul are the most unreliable superstars in postseason history.

    That CP3 contract seems ridiculous. I get if a guy has been on your team for 10+ years and its like we’ll your older, but we’ll give you a lifetime achievement contract as a thank you for carrying our franchise, like the Kobe contract at the end of his career. Kobes contract was bad, but at least it made sense. CP3 is older, hurt all the time and plays one season in Houston and then they give him that contract, just blows my mind. Cant wait til 37 year old CP3 is averaging 12 and 5 and cant guard his shadow for 40m.

    Nope, not happening. Their only assets they have that are moveable are Capela, Tucker, and Gordon.
