    They have no chance, i see a 1st round loss against portland, cause damian lillard Cj, and Nurkic will carry there team past the rockets. Capela, paul and harden would have to play all star level without home court, and i dont have any faith with them as far as this season has gone, hate on me if you like dont care.

    That's essentially the same Portland team that got wiped out 4-0 by the Pelicans last season in the playoffs. Portland is no world beater.

    Tucker and clark moved to small forward position. start Faried as 4 and let T Jones as backup 4. Move Gordon to harden position. We can still able to play today

    Sure, Daryl & his ping pong/chess teams can beat the Warriors [at ping pong/chess].

    Every year, Portland is said to have "matured" or to have become more experienced. And every year, they flame out early in the playoffs. They've won 2 first round series in the past 5 years, only to get the "gentleman's sweep" in those 2 semifinal series.

    Portland is good, you say? I'll believe it when I see it.

    Well dont get me wrong i think the rockets can and have beat them. If there healthy and focused they probably can. But standings matter. Its gonna be hard to step into there building come playoffs time and pull some games out. Rockets can do it dont get me wrong, its just gonna be really hard.

    I don't understand why people are sleeping on Portland. They are 1000x more consistent than us. They are a very dangerous team.

    Healthy and engaged Paul makes the Rox a tough match up for the Warriors.

    This team is built to beat the Warriors. Their defensive scheme works best against the Warriors in their 3 matchups. No Chris Paul? No problem. No James Harden? Win by 6 anyway. I think the insertion of Faried into the starting lineup, sliding PJ to the 3 and EG to the bench will really help that rebounding problem, and as we saw Faried can hit the 3. We will start a streak here.
