    Well no duh, they gotta have confidence in themselves. What are they suppose to be shaking in there boots and submitting to us

    To be fair with a player like Kevin Durant anything is possible for them

    I still believe our rockets have a very good chance though.

    Doesn't bother me one way or the other. Most playoff teams believe they can smash their opponent in the playoffs. Otherwise they wouldn't be in the playoffs in the 1st place. Just some reporter stirring the pot.

    That's true. But at the same time, the Rockets have yet to be THIS good in any of the past 3 or 4 seasons. At the same time nobody is calling us world beaters.

    There's no denying that we will have our best chance against the Worriers during these playoffs (if we remain healthy) to contend with the Worriers.

    Also, there's no doubt that they're not so subtly Worried about us.

    This whole article is stupid, ridiculous, clickbait and a puff piece.

    This won't get the same amount of press, but this is even worse than when Capela's "We are better than them" quote was taken out of context and then posted and talked about all over. This author isn't even taking thoughts or quotes from the Warriors at all but is just making stuff up

    If they are quietly believing it, how does the report know they are believing it?

    He's from Golden State. I sincerely doubt he's watched any other team more than once this whole season. That place is the epicenter of myopia.

    I think you are reading too much into what I said.

    I am not saying that the Warriors are going to smash the Rockets.

    All I am saying is that no one knows how much effort the Warriors have put into playing the Rockets and into this regular season. They have been to the Finals three times and won twice. The Warriors have been reckless with the ball.

    I am sure the Warriors do believe they will turn it up in the playoffs and beat the Rockets. Sometimes it happens (the Rockets second title) and sometimes it doesn't happen (the Cavs last year).

    They should believe that. They have beaten us in the postseason and were one win away from winning three straight titles. That will make them losing to us this season even sweeter and hopefully they leave like the Pistons did in 91 when they finally lost with thier head down and tail between thier legs leaving the arena.

    What is the media's obsession with the OKC Thunder and how they are a threat to the Warriors?

    Sounds a lot like the Yankees and their vaunted bullpen. Media just wants to see certain matchups, I hope the Warriors do see OKC in the 2nd round though.

    because okc wheels almost fell off and the only thing you can hold for about them is the 'bad matchup' angle

    can you guys believe it been 4 years since anyone of their guys got injured? They are the luckiest league in the NBA. Watch when they get 1 main guy injured, all hell would break lose.

    Yes, a season injury would do a number on them. They're just that lucky all these years.
