    Very simple here. We are on a roll going into the break. If we were starting a 7-game series with OKC tomorrow would we win it?

    PF is still a issue, that goes for OKC, Clippers & spurs. We get that done I see us coming out.

    Nope. Would not happen. OKC is the only team in the West that Houston cannot beat in a 7-game series. Durant would put up 40/8/8.

    Rockets are playing well, but they are also playing crappy teams.

    On a roll? We almost lost against Washington. Like, they even took the lead, late in the game.

    It took a boneheaded play by Ariza and a complete collapse on defense by Washington on that final play for us to squeak out the win.

    We're not winning a 7 game series against the best team in the league anytime soon.

    We could so win a 7 game series tomorrow against OKC. No way Durant can play 7 games in one day.

    If Beverly does to Durant what he did to Westbrook, I do!

    i know we are on a nice roll heading into ASG. but wins over cavs, bucks, wiz, still showed things that MUST improve if we are to challenge the legit contenders. namely turnovers and ft shooting.

    i also still have nightmares of the 2nd half last time we played okc.

    Answer is definitely no. Not just because we barely beat the wizards. We just aren't there right now as that elite elite contender.

    Yes, they are playing well. But they aren't dominating teams. They don't look unstoppable right now.

    I don't think we could, but for everybody bringing up barely beating Washington, you guys realize they beat OKC, Portland, and GS within the last couple weeks right? it was a good win.

    We can't beat them now nor in the playoffs. They are just too well-oiled of a machine right now. It takes time for a team to gel - we're still not there yet.

    Unfortunately, it seems Beverley has indirectly made OKC stronger by taking out Westbrook. He has forced Durant to step up big time, same goes with Reggie Jackson and Ibaka.
