    Like four of your five reasons are paraphrases of the exact same reason: "We have mediocre defense." Also, Capela is a good team defender, just a bit inconsistent.

    No sane person could call the Rockets the favorite in that series, but if we get healthy and find our rhythm again, we should have a better chance of beating them than anyone else in the league. Probably even Cleveland.

    I believe our defense will improve, and we'll find our three again, and ultimately that's all we need. The "vision" of those PFs is neutralized by the vision of our best-in-the-business (maybe even in NBA history) backcourt.

    This looks like it was originally written in mandarin and then google translated

    What a vague post by the OP that meant a whole lot of nothing.

    The Rockets defense when all playing together and healthy was actually very good and a top 5 defense in the league.

    It really blows my mind how stupid some people are. They can't even comprehend why a defensive rating would go down when a team has been playing with missing pieces.

    The Rockets will beat the Warriors this weekend. Paul will be playing well, having built chemistry better with Harden out and Harden won't hog the ball too much as to screw it up. Expect a Rockets win, no two ways about it.

    I'm sure you enjoying watching some Rocket Fans panic and scramble to dispute this nonsense

    Since you are a scientist, what was your original hypothesis and the design of the experiment which led you to these conclusions?

    Thanks

    So much for the OP's science .... Rockets take two of three regular season matchups , one without CP3 , the other without Ariza.

    In honesty the warriors were very sloppy and turned it over plenty. With that said the rockets really looked like they could of easily had a 25pt lead but they are as inconsistent as they come!

    Mda likes to run plays to start the game to get guys open shots to get a feel but then says okay you got your stroke now so just iso and chuck it up. This is terrible basketball.

    At least the rockets fixed what went wrong in the spurs series by now shooting mid range shots. They aren’t far from the warriors level after all but this iso ball lack of movement is what will kill them!

    I am sorry. I am a very straight forward person. I hope Warriors fans have a big handkerchief. Rockets are going to make them cry.
