I'm pretty sure we attempt a lot more 3s than they do, despite the fact that they make a lot more than we do.
Rockets have players that operate in the Post but the Rockets don't run plays to get baskets in the post or players that can pass to the post players. Rockets would rather shoot a three if they need a basket. However same thing was true last year until the playoff when Rockets force fed Dwight.
That Golden State girl has nothing on Hayward's Houghs Is the guy (wig) on the right wearing a wig (guy)?
Antoine has a ring while shooting 383 3s. And man, that team is actually quite similar in make-up to the Rockets. You can bet Morey showed McHale the "analytics" of Dwayne Wade, Shaq and a bunch of three pt shooters.
Warriors role players are just ridiculous, Barbosa and Livingston were not that good with other teams + Barnes & Greene really stepping up this year as well. We are kind of in the same boat with D-Mo, Brewer, Josh and TJ. The only difference is: those Warriors are a lot better at shooting the three! If we had some players who could shoot like that, we would be #1 guaranteed.
Memphis run home looks like this.............@Dallas, vs Portland, @ NY Knicks, vs Cleveland, vs Golden State, @ San Antonio, vs Sacramento, vs Oklahoma City, vs Washington, vs New Orleans, @ Utah, @ Los Angeles Clippers, @ Golden State and finish with a home game against Indiana
Maaan, normally teams would like to rest at this time... but they could fall if they don't play well.
Now that we know OKC won't he healthy, I can't see any teams in the West beating Golden State. Memphis has a better chance than anyone else, San Antonio will have to go to another gear to beat them this season.

IMO, only team with a good chance to beat GS is the Spurs. The Warriors play defense and Memphis' offense will go stale in a 7-game series. If (big IF) the Spurs can find a groove, they can beat anyone. I'm not counting them out just yet.
