    So Rockets will not be 16-0 in this playoffs. Not a big deal. Steal the next game in Minnesota and continue the championship run.

    2015 Warriors were down 1-2 in both Memphis and Cleveland series in their run.

    In 2014, The spurs had some trouble with a 8th seeded Mavericks. I think this is a similar situation, cause mavericks had some people back healthy near the end as well and really wasn't a 8th seed. But i think the rockets can squeak one game out come game 4, in OT, or late. If not this might shape up just like the Spurs Mavs series in 2014. Reason home court is really important.

    2014 Spurs Mavs 1-8 series went to 7 games. Spurs were down 1-2 as well, and had to win a game 7 at home.

    Did that 2014 Spurs team have to beat a Curry -Durant Warriors that went 16-1 last playoffs?

    No but they were pretty good from 12-14, i think they could of hurt these warriors, that championship team beat the heat big 3. The Rockets have alot of there swagger thou, they have what it takes to run this league, but like i said you can't just not come out with it like this for 48 mins and not play like this game dont mean nothing....

    How Rockets play in the first round and second round won't matter much compared to how they play against the Warriors. Each series is different.

    That makes no sense against a team that couldn't give two ***** about match ups in the playoffs and breezes their way to a 16-1 record. The Warriors have transcended match ups .they are that great .

    We need to be near that level to have a chance of beating them 4 out of 7 times.

    We needed to show dominance in the first two rounds. Not seeing that dominance.

    I think playoff Chris Paul and playoff Gordon are playing okay. The fans are asking too much.

    As a coach, Dantoni is okay too.

    I'd been a believer since the first 10+ win streak. That faith will hold even if the Rockets seem determined to make the journey as difficult for themselves as possible.

    It's easy to go 16-1 when no team is at the same level as you.

    The Warriors/Rockets series may be one of the greatest ever. Remember, when the season started, most analysts, including JVG, thought Warriors were just going to cake walk to another Championship.

    I, for one, am proud I can contribute a meme to Clutchfans.

    The purpose of Warriors small lineup is to take the big man out of the game.

    Whoever Capela defends will run beyond 27 feet.

    Who do you think Capela will guard? Nick Young or Quinn Cook?

    Beyond 27 feet, all star Curry, Durant and Klay are too hard for Capela to guard.

    Warriors cannot have a small guy lineup to defend Harden/Capela pick and roll. McGee will play a significant role against the Rockets.

    We have three 10+ win streaks this season! Some people seem eager to forget how good this team is.
