    If the Rockets beat the Warriors I'll run down Westheimer from the Galleria to Toyota Center in my underwear!

    How this season has gone, the only thing I'm sure about is Playoff Dwight. Everybody else is up in the air.

    I think it will surprise GS that we're actually in the playoffs. It may short-circuit their brains, and they will be too confused to win the first couple of games. But then they will come to their senses and sweep the next 4 games.

    If by surprising some people you mean not getting blown out by double digits every game as the Warriors sweep the Rockets, then sure.

    We will get raped. If we couldn't beat Jordan and the bulls with Hakeem, we aren't doing this here with another historic team.

    The warriors are not beatable this year. Seriously

    Warriors have looked vulnerable lately and the press has been bringing up their constant use of moving screens so maybe they'll call that differently...

    But really, almost no chance. As would be expected from an 8 seed vs a legendary 1 seed.

    IMO, because of his defense, KJ McDaniels will have to play a key role if the Rockets are to have a chance at all.
    I think he will be key in guarding either Curry or Thompson.

    This team has the talents and tools to upset the warriors. I have no doubt about it. My only doubt is their hearts.

    On a 2 game win streak against non-playoff teams, first 2 game win streak in a month, not yet in the playoffs with 1 game to go, thinks we can upset a 72-73 win season defending champs.

    Isn't even about heart anymore. Dwight looks tired and worn down. Harden and co still can't defend the 3pt line. We don't have health again and we do not have the mental capacity for an upset.

    Stfu. Jordan wanted no part of Hakeem and the rockets.


    I think the rockets will put up a good fukn fight. The more times we meet them in the playoffs and get experience & film on them, the better. At least we have Dmo, bev and Beasley compared to last year.

    Also the rockets will have fresh legs in the first round and that will help.

    But first annihilate the fukn Kings.

    Don't waste your money like you did last year. I tried telling you last year and I'm telling you again this season. You might as well burn your money or donate it to charity instead, because once you place that bet, you're never going to see that money ever again. Don't get upset, I'm just trying to help you out. I realize the truth hurts.
