    You have to go through them all if you want to win the title.

    That's why i don't worry about who we match up with in the first round

    but if i had to choose, i'd choose Dallas, i don't think they are much good and Portland won't be very good if the injuries to Aldridge and Batum are serious

    Blazers are slumping, they lead their division and would get a top 4 seed even with a lesser record than the 4th best record

    Rockets are going all the way this year, if everybody gets healthy for the playoffs

    The bench is very solid bench but the team for the style that they play lacks a dead eye shooter and a real point guard. Brewer and Smith have been major upgrades from what was on the bench at the beginning of the year and they have help to keep the team afloat.

    i wonder if Warriors fans are getting in to Curry ?

    he is 1-6 so far today and hasn't scored more than 20 in 4 games

    Yes you do...and I have seen us do it. I know what a championship team looks like and this team isn't it unfortunately. I do NOT want a team with a good big man inside and good shooters. Depending on injury...Portland...NO WAY if all hands on board.Would agree with Dallas but history hasn't been so good there. Also know I don't want SA, Golden ST.,Memphis,Portland (healthy). No real excited about playing Clippers particularly.

    well who knows who will win the title, it is a very open season and i think a fresh healthy Dwight will be a major advantage for us

    This shall be the last season Harden carries the entire team on his shoulders. Priority number one is two bring one or two more playmakers at the guard position. Either that or we shall charge Lord Morey with treason. :)

    A star center and one of the best rebounders and defenders in the game being added to our team is a major advantage? Who knew!

    Amazing how many dudes forget this

    Of course it will be a major advantage. Just not enough pieces IMO.And again...as Harden goes, we go (obviously).

    Well of course not because they are winning. I get what you're saying though.

    Funny thing though, games like this when Harden plays like a chump just emphasizes why he is the MVP. (anyone still reading?) Harden has a bad game, Rockets lose. Curry has a bad game, Warriors still win.

    Not the conditioning but we badly need him. DMO will be tough to replace but we need him. DMO can stand at the 3 pt. line as a forward instead of a center.

    we win this game if we get some decent rim protection in the first half...

    All of you trying to **** on Curry might want to wait until that games over. Dude is like 5-5 right now in the 2nd quarter against the best defense post all star game.

    I'm not ****ting on Curry. Saying that Harden means more to the Rockets than Curry to the Warriors shouldn't be a knock on Curry. I'm not sure you read my post fully.

    If Curry had a bad game the Warriors would more than likely win
    If Harden has a bad game the Rockets would more thank likely lose.

    Too many bigs are getting their rebounding "hard" on ..... It's games like this,even the games we pull out, that shows Dwight's true value on this team... Otherwise, unfortunately we are 1st round road kill.. Winning 4 games against the more physical teams in the West will be too much to overcome... Go Rockets!!!

    Terrible and embarrassing effort tonight. Games like this is why we will end up with the 4/5 seed as opposed to the 2/3 seed.

    Really missed TJ tonight.

    Get well soon TJ and Dwight.
