WILL THE 2016/2017 ROCKETS TEAM WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP?

Y'all wanna see a sick meat spin

 

Ban OP.

 

Way too early.

So many things can happen between now and June. Injuries to major players can completely change the landscape of the playoffs. Trades will overhaul some rosters and change chemistry issues. Players that no one saw coming may emerge and improve.

That said, the Rockets have been impressive. The Warriors, Cavs and Spurs are definitely very good teams. But there's no reason why the Rockets can't be competitive. At this point in the season, that's all you can really ask for.

 

/thread immediately.

 

Well it had to be asked, there's no denying we're red hot and among the contenders.

Having said that, it's a long and winding road, we'll just have to see what happens.

Gunna enjoy the ride, in any case.

 

Well we beat GSW once in their house, but only barely

I kinda doubt we can beat them in their place when they're in playoff mode, unless they get bit pretty bad by the injury bug at an inopportune time.

So I still think nobody is gettting past the Warriors, most likely.

 

Absolutely not! No way! What are you thinking?

 

I can see that as well if winning the Finals! Most definitely

 

Rockets cannot beat the defensive team memphis, spurs, jazz. Cleverland and warriors seems a bit little stronger than rockets. Rockets really has chance if they win more matches to get the home privilege. Anderson and gordon needs to score 20 plus in each matches

 

On merit alone, this year's Rockets have a better chance than they did in 2015, as well as 2014. 2014 is overlooked but if Dame had missed, we might have taken that Game 7. Dwight and Asik were kind of gelling with the Twin Tower approach in playoff time, and despite the Spurs still being the team to beat in the West (and NBA for that matter), we just might have taken them and might have been able to win the Finals.

Minus Capela, we're almost at peak health, which is ideal, but we've shown many years over that we can compete with or without banged-up guys. I haven't been this proud of our team since the championship runs. If injuries ruin what we have, the memory will remain. If Kyrie Irving or Draymond Green get injured, more power to us.

If a non-chemistry breaking deal somehow comes along, take it, but as we currently stand, we can scare the best of them. It's inevitable the Warriors will up their game and evolve into what they should be, especially if Curry gets pissed off. My suggestion is to try to win now, before the Warriors can really lock down the West.

If I were the Rockets, I'd bench Anderson for Harrell in the playoffs and wait for off-season to make any kind of deals. Harrell and Dekker need their playing time right now. If I were the Warriors, I'd (gasp) trade Green for a passable PF and passable C, like to the Raptors for any of their 3 best bigs, to balance their line-up. Klay's too consistent to trade away, and Green could fit just as well with Kyle and DeMar, though it'd be great to see him squirm on the Bulls or especially the 76ers.

For the record, I voted maybe. Well-placed injuries to opposing teams will help build on our merit if we stay healthy.
