    Eh... NBA would give us a game before a sweep would happen. They did it for Cleveland in game 4

    I’ll say what we all will flood the board with in the offseason, the rockets will need to sign another star and will most likely

    Rockets are too injured, too inconsistent at shooting threes, and too bad defensively.

    Kind of know facts. A healthy Harden and Luc will help close the gap. An Anderson who is hot, and not slumping will help close the gap.

    The biggest concern offensively is if you look historically over the last 4.5 years, over 26 games, the Warriors have consistently kept the Rockets from shooting well from three.

    Is it the Warriors just being great defensively and putting so much pressure on you offensively, or is it the Rockets players wilting under the pressure?? Either case sucks, but at least the later might be fixable.

    Yeah......don't know him. @Clutch can verify if he wants that we're not the same. But probably not worth his time.

    I’ll like to see us and warriors full strength see how we do.

    We have been plagued with some injuries. Cp3 first, a couple days of Nene out and Capela. But everything seemed to get worse once Luc went out, then Harden got hurt but still played after he landed awkwardly. Then cp3 again out Capela out again. Ryan and ego a couple games out. Then Harden gets hurt. We haven’t been 100 percent in a while and we only played a few games with everyone sort of healthy.

    Chris still has no lift he still isn’t 100%. Nene keeps coming in and out and he isn’t 100% nor is Capela.
    When Luc comes back he will take a few games to get better and when Harden comes back too.

    So we yea we won’t know how good we are till everyone is back and completely healthy.

    The Astros could never beat the Yankees, they said. The Astros can never beat the dodgers, they said. The Astros could never win the championship, they said. But we proved everyone wrong. The rockets can't slay the giant, they're saying. This is basketball. Tossing a ball into a hoop over and over. This isn't an impossible feat. They aren't flawless gods. If we put 100% effort on O and D we'll come out on top against any team every time. PERIOD.

    Thanks for the lulz OP.

    As I read I kept thinking... "Maybe the next point will have some substance......."

    By point #5, which is pro-Rockets, you can tell OP completely exhausted their brain power (which isn't saying much).

    If Ryan Anderson is our starting forward for the balance of the 17-18 season, we are going to struggle to make the playoffs.

    Yes, and if we do make the playoffs, I concur with snowconeman22--> we will flameout because of coach MDA

    Harden > Durant
    Cp3 = curry
    EG = Thompson
    Green = Green
    Capela > papa
    Ariza = AI
    Mouh < Nick
    Nene < West
    Tucker < remaining bench player
