    The Warriors are busy becoming the Worriers. There's a huge train coming down the track behind them and it's building up steam, getting it's cow catcher closer and closer to their caboose. By the end of the season the Worriers are going to get derailed, in my humble opinion. What do they need to fix the dilemma approaching them? A master of the game of basketball, Mr. Chris Paul.

    Golden State, this is Houston. You have a problem.

    Damn straight. We're a nightmare match up for them. The Rockets overpower them at their strength..the guards..CP3 has always given GS fits on both sides of the ball...and James is on another planet now...CC came in at the tender age of 19 and did damage in the WCF. Now, he's becoming a beast. We have the ability to dictate pace... and succeed, either way.

    Toss in our new acquisitions of Luc and Tucker...We're tailor made to rip their hearts out.

    OKC's potential was on full display yesterday. I still insist that OKC will be better than Houston in the playoffs.

    Houston is a very intriguing team right now.

    So Is Boston.

    They need to add ashleyem to their "fans" message board ASAP, so they can get brilliant insights on how to improve their team. Something in the lines of swaping Igoudala and Klay for Carmelo, for instance.

    I do know we shouldn't feed the troll, but the level of idiocy is unbearable. It's a basketball forum, we'd hope that people interested in exchanging ideas here had at least the following characteristics: (a) whatched basketball; and (b) had a minimum idea about how the game of basketball is played.

    Obviously, if one actually watches OKC playing, instead of just counting the self proclaimed "superstars" on the roster, would easily see that they have a long long long way to go until becoming a good basketball team, let alone a great one capable of overtaking the Rockets, not to mention the Warriors. Their D can be really good, even with Westbrick and Melo, but if you've been watching the Rox lately, you ought to know it's looking to be quite a task trying to stop Harden, CP3, EGo and our offense. OTOH, you'd also know our D is more than capable of slowing their "big 3". We all know Westbrick and Melo can become liabilities in the half court sets (which have a bigger importance during the playoffs) until they develop a real offense, something I'm not sure Billy Donovan will be able to do. Obviously OKC won't be as bad as they're now until the end of regular season, but the Rox will more than likely improve as well, which should worry the Warriors based on the way we've been playing with CP3.

    With all of that I'm just trying to say that the nonsense "OKC will be better than the Rockets come playoff time bleh bleh bleh..." is nothing more than wishful thinking without any support on reality. If you want that to be true, so by no means you can be considered a Rox fan, and should really try to find something more useful to do with your spare time than posting here. If you actually watch the games and still "insist that OKC will be better than Houston in the playoffs", you really have no clue of the game of basketball.

    They need a Ariza stopper like MKG. I would try to package Klay Thompson but im not sure the hornets would do it.

    More than likely Ashleyem is not really a Rockets fan to begin with. There's one thing to be disappointed in a trade, there's another to hide out until a rival team wins so he can brag about it on CF.

    I bet he skipped the rockets game last night to watch OKC

    I'm also willing to bet that the next time Rockets loses a game she will again come out of woodworks to **** on the team and talk about how OKC is better, too predictable.
