    And the Houston Rockets are a close second despite their 2nd best player missing 14 of 20 games.

    Where you're really good...you're really good.

    @Carl Herrera

    Don't know what coasting means, since Chris Paul has only played 6 games. Rockets were "Coasting" too.

    But yeah, someone plug their points into Morey's Pythagorean Win Expectation formula. They are probably at 66 wins to our 65. But yeah, they are coasting, and we want to see them turn it on ... against us ... in the reg season. But they'll probably pull a Popovich, and never go full force against us, to hide their hand.

    Warriors also don't play bobby brown in garbage time, or have harden stay in a minute longer than he needs to chuck a three or two to break some random record. If you ignore garbage time minutes, Rockets probably have a better point differential.

    Edit: I'm not criticizing Harden, he's earned the right to chase records if his play gets to a point where houston has garbage time at the end of a game. As long as its not a record for loose balls or reckless drives, have at it.

    I haven't watched enough of them this year, but it seems like their bench rotations aren't quite down yet.
    Kerr is trying to give a bunch of guys "enough" time.
    They've got 12 guys getting 10+mpg.

    Hopefully that's a sign of weakness and not just Kerr "messing" around and the team coasting.

    I would love that but I feel like they will try very hard to win the two games in toyota center to try to get the tie breaker.

    I think they respect us enough to fear our ability to take the 1 seed this year.

    I would be very happy if they pull a pop in games against us in toyota center though (even though I bought a ticket to the jan 20th game)

    Rockets are coasting.

    They have won 5 out of 6 games this year played against coastal opponents

    NY(2x)
    Philadelphia
    Brooklyn

    They don’t anymore.

    Unless of course they blow the lakers out to pass up the Rockets.
