    Each round of the playoffs for us has been a huge jump in opposition talent. The Clippers were much, much better than the Mavericks, and I'm not sure we would have beaten this team in the first round. Now, we will go against the Warriors who are much, much better than the Clippers and probably the best team in the playoffs.

    The thing about the Warriors is that they seem to have no weaknesses, and can catch fire so rapidly. Barnes, thompson, green, barbosa, and others really have the ability to light it up at any moment, which says nothing about curry who leads that ship. Scary to think of as our team plays too sloppy on defense too often, but it will be fun.

    Last year we swept the Spurs but that didnt mean anything in the playoffs. We were swept by the Clippers and if the Rockets keep up this momentum, regular season stats dont mean anything.


    Let's Go Rockets

    Last time two teams played was 4 months ago. Lot of changes since.

    So proud of MY HOUSTON ROCKETS!

    Warriors will be extremely difficult.

    Two things that favor Rockets:
    1. Harden MVP revenge
    2. Rockets have faced adversity, and shown they can comeback, have more playoff leadership

    As a Rockets' homer, I picked Rockets in 7.

    As a realist, I think 1 or 2 wins would even be impressive.

    No shame in possibly losing to GS, they are having a historic year, have home court, and it could further light the fire under this team in years to come!

    So proud of this team
