    I'll never understand fans waiting in line to buy overpriced food and drinks and miss a ton of the game they paid so much money for. Freaking stupid.

    I hate KD also but honesty, he didnt kill the fairness of the game long run. He just made sure 2017 was unfair.

    Now the league has had a year of trying to respond and the rockets found a way to build a 65 win team with the chance to take them out in 2018.

    Rockets have a chance to make sure kd doesnt get more titles

    Rockets have a small chance.

    I’d say the fairness of the league is in jeopardy when a 65 win team has a small chance to beat a rival.

    Good for tv in this era but definitely bad for so called fairness

    Gsw knows they don’t need the first seed and plus they had injuries. The gap is still there, the warriors don’t have many bad habits. They know how to not let leads slip and stay locked.

    I agree with your logical process after declaring the rockets have a small chance but I reject that initial statement.

    Why do you assume the rockets only have a small chance?

    How do you define this “gap”.

    You can make a statistical argument of rockets being superior just like you can make a statistical argument of the warriors being superior

    By watching them?

    I already said they don’t lose games after having leads
    They take care of business against weaker teams
    They are very consistent
    Not anyone can go to gsw and beat them

    Yeah imagine Warriors give the same money to Harrison Barnes instead, would they even win 50 games this year?

    Ah so you define this gap through the subjective eye test.

    Well my eye test tells me that the rockets have a 50/50 chance to win.

    So the rockets are not inconsistent with the things I mentioned?

    There is a talent disparity too great to ignore. Warriors have two of the top three players in the league, a dpoy candidate, and one of the best shooters to ever play in their starting lineup.

    The warriors have 2 of the top 3 players in the league?

    Lebron and harden are both top 3 players. That leaves only 1 spot left for another top 3 player

    Statistically this year Paul, Harden, Capela, and Gordon are very comparable to those 4.

    The top 4 in many metrics would be ranked...
    1. Harden
    2. Curry
    3. Paul
    4. Capela

    Including home court and the fact the Rockets are healthy, I hope it’s 50/50.

    Except 2 of them are not playmakers.

    If they go with

    Curry
    Klay
    Iggy
    Durant
    Draymond

    4 of them can make plays and Klay can make that extra pass too.
