    I am sorry. I am a very straight forward person. I hope Rockers fans have a big heart.

    5 reasons Rockets will not win one game against Warriors at full strength in a playoff series.

    1. Warriors play both Green and Durant at power forward positions (play a lot of 4). Their versatility and defense are the best in the world. They are great rim protector in a non-traditional way. They are brilliant.Their court vision and passing skills are also the best in the world. Anderson and Ariza are clearly bottom half in the nba. This is the difference between GS and Rockets.

    2. Rockets remind me of 2004-2007 Suns.

    Like 2004-2007 Suns, Rockets are a bottom half defensive team in the nba. (I am not allow to post link)
    This year's Rockets so far.
    Opponent Field Goal Percentage ranking: 22 (30 teams)
    Opponent Points Per Game rank 20 (30 teams)

    2004-2005 Suns
    Opponent Field Goal Percentage ranking: 14 (30 teams)
    Opponent Points Per Game rank 30 (worst team)

    3. Defense weaknesses will expose Rockets In Playoffs!
    For the last three weeks, the various flaws and weaknesses of the Rockets have been exposed at various times. What are those flaws and will they be exposed in games that mirror playoff basketball?

    4 Offensive weaknesses will expose Rockets In Playoffs
    Offensive weaknesses can hurt Rockets at any minute in the game.Lack of court vision and passing skills (recent game: Warriors 35 assists, Rockets 20 assists) will exposed in games that mirror playoff basketball?

    5 Rockets have 5 excellent defensive players, but they are not fully utilized.
    Luc Mbah a Moute
    Trevor Ariza
    P. J. Tucker
    Chris Paul
    Eric Gordon (from what I watch Gordon is a good defender)

    Mesmerizing stuff...

    In case y’all didn’t figure it out immediatly; OP is clearly from another team fan base. He joined December 11th and all his posts are in his thread.

    We played New Orleans that day so that’s my guess as to his team.

    You're right- they won't win one game, they will win FOUR!

    Rockets are comparable to last year's Cavs (same level)

    I hope you understand this: I point this out so your GM will figure out how to fix the Rockets.

    Yeah Morey is clearly a fool, the game plan for beating the Warriors is very clear.

    Thats why the rest of the NBA has had so much success in doing so over the last 3 years.

    At our worst, we have always gone hot and won 1 game.

    The other 28 teams besides GS should just give up, huh?

    Stopped reading, right there.

    Poster has edited his OP, yet doesn't bother to spell "Rockets" correctly. What a fan.

    What is this?

    It's like telling all the passengers of the Titanic they are all going to drown.

    Most will because that was worst Martime disaster, but some did get into lifeboats.

    And full health for any team is not guaranteed ever.

    So I am telling you there is a chance....

    1) Even when we were the 8th seed, we took a game off them
    2) This team was a top 10 defense when everyone was fully healthy. Not saying that's sustainable, but to think they'll just fall off a cliff when half the roster is made up of defensive-minded guys is asinine.
    3) There's no shame in losing to one of the greatest teams ever constructed.
    4) Why is no other team held to this bullshit standard of "Lollllls y'all ain't beating GS nannanannaboooboooo!" It's ******* obnoxious. Why can't we just be a really good team, and see where that takes us?
    5) **** OFF
