They should fear Mike D'Antoni not making adjustments at halftime and not calling time outs when the other teams go on a 20 point run

They shouldn't fear anyone. You can tell they get afraid when the other team makes shots, Rockets miss a few, or some calls go against. Then they make stupid decisions, over think offensive possessions, and don't hustle on defense. They should never play afraid. Just play hard, Trust their teammates and go all out.
Chris Paul's health should be the team's biggest concern. They were the best team in the league last year but fell short due to CP3's hamstring, pure and simple. It is no different this year, regardless of what the standings say.
They should just fear not playing hard. They have to play like they are aware they are not winning this thing on talent alone.
“The only thing we have to fear is....fear itself.” At our best, we can beat anyone. We just have to make sure everyone is healthy and hammys all are intact. Need to game plan for Warriors, but no one should scare the Rockets. Conversely, everyone is terrified of the Rockets right now.
Not a popular choice but OKC, imo, is a tough matchup for us now that the pecking order on that team starts with PG13 and not Russ.
