The league is rigged bruh. It's all about money and ratings. League wants cavs vs gsw part 3. Everything else is just a money making appetizer. We are a very good team but not great. You have to be a great team to get healthy officiating. We are not good enough to overcome the league mandate.
Look at it this way. We are way overachieving this season. Most Rockets fans pegged ourselves to end up with 5th or 6th seed at best. Instead, we ended up with 3rd seed overall and now suddenly we all have high expectations but the reality is we are still nowhere close to beating a healthy warriors in a 7 game series. This series is purely for rivalry, we should be the heavy underdogs in the first place. It shouldn't be shocking we are down 2 games against them. What's shocking is they didn't take us seriously in game 1 and got blown out. We don't match up very well against the Spurs when their bigs show up. We already get killed by teams with good bigs since we're built like the Warriors (look at Thunder vs Warriors last year). Spurs also have great wing defenders who can shut down our playmakers and they also play very disciplined like the Warriors Defense. On top of all that, they have a legendary coach. Honestly, I'm already proud of our Rockets for way overachieving this year, especially, from the disaster that was last season. We are way over our heads if we're suddenly thinking "Championship" with this team. We still need at least another All-Star player or two on this team who will show up more consistently than our role players. Here's hoping we're part of the Paul George or Boogie sweepstakes.
Don't let it get you twisted, man. This is an overachieving year! We just brought in MDA, Ryno, EG, and Lou... this was just to supposed to be a 'get acclimated year' - we're not really supposed to contend yet.... If DM really thought we were gonna make an actual run already, there'd be a lot more old guys sitting on the bench in support roles... as opposed to all the 'projects' that are just ridin the pine... Nothing to be discouraged about... DM has been building for next year... ...and hey, this series ain't over yet!
