    haha.

    They were 58-4 over last three years. lulz. And 90-5 over last 4 years. (And again, two of those losses to the Rockets, and only 1 win.)

    versus the league (not counting the Rockets)
    • 17-0 this year
    • 16-2 in 2018
    • 24-0 in 2017
    • 32-1 in 2016

    Or maybe Dr. Frankenmoreystein has succeeded in creating a team that can do ONE thing exceptionally well: Beat Golden State.

    I’ll take it.

    In theory is you can beat GS on the regular like we can then you should be able to beat anyone else in the nba.

    I’d imagine this team will play this hard against anyone come the playoffs.

    About 8 weeks till we find out.

    **** you Foster. We'll never know who really won that series because of your cheating ass.

    I hope Tilman gets his merger and fixes the league his way.

    We're like Yao and GSW is like Dwight when he was still in Orlando.

    GSW sucks against us, but is good against every other team in the league.

    The Rockets can match their pace

    Rockets have been a very good team the last few seasons. Just have to close

    I think they hate playing vs PJ as well. He bullies, nags, and pesters them all game. He sets solid picks, and slams into the man setting picks for the other team. He plays like a man possessed vs GS for whatever reason. This is a big reason why he holds so much value with the organization.

    I think his physicality intimidates them.

    Honestly it’s less Golden State and more the rest of the West I’m scared of - Houston is built to compete with GS...not so much teams like Denver or OKC. Particularly OKC’s ability to contest the 3 and controller the boards against us is very worrying with our streaky players

    That is a big part of it. All the "beautiful basketball" that the media slobbers over.....also has a HUGE RISK. More turnover potential. Whereas the Rockets minimize that risk with less passing and more Point A to Point B type of thing.

    When the Warriors get sloppy that really hurts them. They know this too.
