    *17-4 and we have been dominating opponents.
    *The "always having a HOF caliber PG on the floor" thing is working like a charm.
    *Ryno is playing well at home (and hitting 77% of 3s assisted by CP3).
    *Capela is playing like an all star and just keeps getting better.
    *The additions of Tucker and Mbah a Moute (along with CP3) have made us an elite defensive team.

    Granted, we have been facing many sub-par opponents and the schedule will be getting tougher.

    I know this will be biased since this is a Houston forum, but I am curious what the consensus is. Are we at Golden State's level yet or is it too early to tell?

    Vote and discuss if you wish.

    Dumb thread given that Golden State hasn't reached our level yet this season.

    Maybe we are the pre kd gs. Let's add a top 3 player to a team that won 73 games while still keeping their best 2 bench players. That sounds real fair.

    Nice little piece on 538 that stated the Rockets have the highest expected value per shot in the league and the Warriors were 8th but our offensive efficiency is about the same. Meaning? We are making up the difference with smarts but they still have us in Talent.

    The difference is Mike D'Antoni, plus Harden+Paul 48-minute elite playmaking all game!

    Give me one more solid month like this last one, and I will say we are better because of Harden and Paul for 48 minutes!!!

    Way too early to tell. Let's revisit this at the end of December.

    its cute how the warriors think stephen curry revolutioned 3-point shooting in the NBA, when it was really daryl morey and sam hinkie who were the brains behind the idea of the current pace and space era you see today. The warriors were just smart to get rid of marc jackson, while we retained mcfail

    Posters on realgm really dont remmeber this game do they, this is the game that made bob myers realize that their philosphy was all wrong and they changed it according to their players. Harden used to torch the warriors so much

    I'd like to see us play GS again, play the Spurs with Leonard, play the Celtics, etc. Give us 3 or 4 games against solid opponents.
