    The problem with the Warriors is Bogut can shoot Free Throws but isn't nearly as athletic as DJ. I wonder what happens.

    Bogut also shuts down the paint more effectively, and has a PF next to him who can play defence.

    Could be ugly!

    We need a couple of guys to be hot from 3 land.

    Howard just went against 2 of the best centers in the league in Deandre and Chandler. I'm not worried about dwight especially in the playoffs. One advantage we have over the warriors which alot of ppl forget is we have experienced players who's been there , went to finals and won championships. The clippers series also gave us a huge boost. We got this

    I'd rather be the underdog team. Warriors are going to be going into this series with so many expectations to dominate us and that's a hard battle to fight.

    It's easy to blow out teams in the regular season, when players can think "Ah well, we'll get the next one." and are not up for a random wednesday night game.

    Much harder to blow out teams when everything is on the line.

    Also the fact that they have not seen healthy Dwight and Dwight on a mission. He's played the toughest big man he's going to play against already. He's going to destroy Bogut.

    Green scares me a lot more than anyone else on that team tbh.

    Nothing will make me happier than beating that team and shutting up their arrogant fan base.

    I think he is the key to their success. He is big, agile, good shooter, with a mean streak. I can't stand him, but he is good. I would like to see Ariza on Curry. Put Josh Smith on Green, he is just as mean. Harrison Barnes is no slouch either. They have a great team, but I think we might catch them being overconfident. They are likely celebrating that they don't have to face the Clippers or the Spurs. Rockets are getting into a rhythm, Harden has been playing "tight." If he can loosen up and start free stroking and Howard can out "athletic" Bogut, we got a chance.

    They got a rookie coach and McHale already had more experience.

    I had to chuckle while typing. Kerr has been successful this season.

    Bogut will be the biggest test yet. He's the best passer, fundamentally better defensively than Tyson and DeAndre, and has range.

    Most importantly, dude is straight up dirty. Dwight needs to keep his emotions in check.

    Warriors have good O and D. It's going to be tough.
    But it all comes down to who wants it more.

    If it were easy, it wouldn't be the Western Conference Finals.

    If the Rockets play their game they can compete with any team.

    GO ROCKETS! $&$@ YEAH!

    I'm not 'too' worried really, the clippers were a bigger challenge for the Rockets than GS imo. That's not to say GS isn't a serious team.

    Keys would be to dominate them on defense the same way we played games 5, 6 and 7 against clippers. Speed, and hitting a good portion of three's. If we do that, we will be in good hands. Dwight will hold advantage over Bogut. Ariza on curry is a must.
