    Warriors have so many bodies to throw at Harden..Klay, Barnes, Iggy and even Draymond Green at times. Then their is Bogut waiting at the rim.

    Last series, I thought the Rockets were deeper than the Clippers. No idea how this series will turn out, but I think the Clippers prepared the Rockets really well for this challenge. If they come out flat like the first few games vs. the Clippers then it will be a quick series. But if we see the Rockets that won 3 straight.....

    Nice!

    I'm not a gambler (This is my second bet my whole life) and I hate the thought of losing money but it was a bet I couldn't pass up. Even the poorest or non gambler would/should bet a $1.00 if it meant you got 6 bucks back if the rockets win.

    I sure hope the rox steal game 1. I feel like they would be almost unstoppable if that happened. Go rox.

    Ariza needs to guard Klay and shut him down. He and Harrison Barnes are the guys to worry about. Also, Speights isn't playing right? He gives the Rockets fits.

    Let Curry do whatever he wants. He can't win on his own. I can't stress how important it is we shut down Thompson. Him performing well against us is the difference between how we played against them this year and years past.

    I expect the Rockets to take care of the Warriors. Jump shooting teams get exposed by tenacious defense. And at their best, the Rockets defense is stifling.

    We won Game 6 without much of a Harden. I would assume we can win 2 games without major output of a superstar.

    The bench brigade must be sharpened then

    Dwight needs to be dominant in this series for us to have a shot.

    The smart money is on GS. There is a reason why you do not bet on your sports team.
