Based on the BPI. Warriors dead even with rockets, but has that 42%, probably because the Durant Factor. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/page/BPI-Playoff-Odds/espn-nba-basketball-power-index-playoff-odds Good luck rockets!
And the favorable calls they get. It’s ridiculous that Bill Walton was advocating calling the fouls for Durant but not the same fouls for the Blazers; since according to Walton Durant has earned the respect calls.
Remember what Morey said in the offseason? "It's an ARMS RACE. Either you in it or on the sidelines." Looks like that race is now only between the Rockets and the Warriors. Cavaliers have been relegated to a feel-good story at this point. Celtics are regressing to the mean after overachieving to start the season. Raptors have best record in the East, but nobody is scared of them. Spurs, Thunder, etc are fighting for their playoff lives with the bottom feeders of the West. So yeah, it's Rockets and Warriors.
Hell yeah, what a time to be a Rockets fan!!! Stacked 10-12 deep, now just have to stay hungry, let Harden get his long overdue due and show we for real in the playoffs.
I'm gonna quote Dream, "Stay hungry. Stay humble." This season is turning into something special, Rox got to keep playing with a massive chip on the shoulder. #No_complacency.
KD in 2014 cause Westbrook was on and off with injury. (MVP, lost in WCF to Spurs, 59 total wins) LeBron in 2010. (MVP, lost to big 3 Celtics in 6, 61 total wins) Rasheed in 2000 (ended up 2nd seed, lost to Lakers in WCF in 7, 59 total wins) Can't be bothered look past 2000.
Real Warrior real fans are really 6000 to 7000 fans during those bad years in those Steve Francis years, those are the real fans. Too many bandwagon fans now.
You know how every warrior game they are like this team is 1st. When warriors played Rockets they are like Warriors are the first in entire league. I wonder if ESPN keeps saying how Rockets are first or will they just spout some pro warriors narrative like "Oh it doesn't matter if Warriors have home court, ect ect."
Referees and NBA did screw us during those 5 losses. Tony Brothers especially, I got really mad when I saw him again during the Cavs game. I think the Rockets saw Tony Brothers during that game and literally took it Personal and beat up the Cavs and put the NBA league, Media on notice, Respect Us or we will take it from the Cavs and Warriors. This is the best depth, I've ever seen since those 1994 and 1995 teams.
