We can beat them easily IMO, even though they are top 3 defensive team, I really don't think then can keep with up with our scoring. Who do they have outside of Kyrie...?? Tatum, Brown, Hordford....yeah don't think so. Rocket in 6 and am being not too optimistic
and you have Harden as the 3rd best player in the NBA and a case could be made for him for being the 2nd best player....so there you have it.
We in Houston believe that. And we all know well in the playoffs KD And Lebron and light years ahead of everyother nba player. In the playoffs harden is #3-4 player. U can’t say he’s better than KD or Bron. But in regular season. U can make the case harden is better than both
First of all, market size is as important as anything else to ratings when we're talking about the playoffs. Secondly, gatdamn, I get that the Rockets have gotten the short end of the media stick for a while, and Harden gets some pretty unfair criticism, but relax with this victim mentality, brogurt. They may not be on Lebron's level, but Harden, Paul, and Kyrie are pretty damn big and marketable stars. There's a reason two of them are all-star starters.
You can make a *case* that he is the single best player in the NBA this year. But of course, not many people outside of Houston will buy into it until at least May. Harden has never played with any halfway reasonable help in the playoffs before... And do you not remember the 2015 season, when Harden lit it up in the playoffs? By this year, I think there will be a strong case that Harden is the single best player in the league, but we'll see.
After seeing how both games developed, I'd love a Rockets - Celtics even more. It has it all: offense, defense, grit, hustle, things get heated and games will go down to the wire.
