    Rockets just need to slow Draymond Green down and there is a good chance. I believe CP3, Harden and Paul could balance out Curry, Thompson and Durant at least stats wise. CP3 effect is huge on our role players. We need Ariza to match Iggy and our centers to outplay theirs.

    At least? What is that supposed to mean? I think a playoff series win is about as definitive as it can get. I mean we are already answering it, maybe inaccurately, but nonetheless.

    The Warriors have made the Finals 3 years in a row, won 2 out of the last 3 championships, and have won a higher percentage of their regular season games in the prior 3 years than any team in NBA history over a 3 year stretch. And you’re seriously asking this question barely 20 games into this season?

    There’s only one sensible answer to this question — “No.” We haven’t even accomplished enough to warrant a “Too early to tell”.

    I assume you mean Gordon? If so I agree.

    For serious. Can't hurt to ask. Just wanted to get a feel for how confident we are as a fanbase at the moment.

    Have the Rockets won two titles with this particular team? No. Hopeful though.

    No they have not. They're sort of creeping up into being discussed as on their level kind of....but I need a LOT more evidence to put them there, most notably, I need to see them beat the warriors.

    I wish they'd shoot at a slightly higher percentage from 3 as well. I feel like we should be doing that.
