    Now we see who CP3 was fake-laughing at.

    I love this clip more than I can possibly express.

    Articles like this are ridiculous. If it was that “quiet” why would it be a headline for the world to talk about ??

    Are the Dubs a confident team that believes they can beat anyone? Yes
    Are the Dubs scared to play us? No
    Have we gotten their attention? Damn right we have!

    I watched it 30 times initially but then watched it about 90 times after I found out he was fake laughing at Kerr.

    The Harden Eye Roll and CP Laugh are the PEAK gifs.

    Seriously, I've been watching the NBA and the Rockets since Rudy and Calvin were playing, and CP3 Laugh is just below The Shot, Bamboozled, and Kiss of Death when it comes to making me grin like a fool.

    “The Warriors don’t put much stock in regular season results. They learned two seasons ago that wins alone are not a good predictor of postseason success. They learned last season that could sweep a team, San Antonio, that clobbered them by 29 on opening night, when they unveiled Durant to the Bay Area audience.”

    huge eye roll at this comment...

    GS swept SA because Zaza took out Kawhi...

    The amount of "they don't really matter to us" shade being thrown towards the Rockets recently is pretty damn satisfying.

    i know right, it's not like their coach would say their goal is home court.

    You're one of the posters that I respect on here. Level headed and calling things as it is for the most part.

    That said, why are you putting yourself in the same camp of posters/fans that continue to make these defeatist excuses/claims? How about this.....The Rockets were not FULLY healthy in their first win against the Warriors and were not at full strength (without Harden for one) in their loss at home against the Warriors.

    I'm sure you understand as well as I do that the excuses can be made both ways (or at least they ought to go both ways to be "fair"). Rockets won the season series against the Warriors in which their "Big 4" played in both wins for the Rockets. That is it.

    There's not too much we can extrapolate from that regular season success...I get that and concede that. But one can certainly feel pretty good about the matchup prospect between the Rockets and the Warriors in the postseason. This Rockets team (if healthy) is extremely formidable and very well equipped to matchup and perhaps BEAT the Warriors in a 7 game series. Again, we hopefully will find out.

    The Rockets "may very well" SMASH the Warriors. Honestly there is no way to know how badly they would beat them without a fully healthy roster.

    I think guys for the most part try harder in the playoffs.

    But there is some real stock in the Rockets wins against GSW.

    Competitors compete, and when you have two incredible teams playing each other the players are well aware.

    Rockets have shown they can beat GSW when the Warriors are giving premium effort.

    Who knows what will happen....

    But the Steve Kerr incident and things like this are only helpful for this team. Ratchet up the disrespect and anger.
