    Partly because he was Harden-'14 on the defensive end.

    Getting that in-game rest!!

    Our Houston Rockets champion teams would have swept this Golden State Warriors team with ease.

    Jordan was back in 95. He had a 55 point game against the Knicks on March 18th, in the Garden. He and the rest of the Bulls were beaten by the Orlando Magic. The Houston Rockets swept the Magic 4-0 in the NBA Finals.

    Get your facts right!

    If 5 years no one is going to think the Warriors are one of the best teams ever. They would even beat the Spurs team last year or the Heat team prior to that.

    If they win, the deserve praise but this "one of the greatest" is worth a chuckle.

    Nash was terrible on man defence but on team defence he was pretty good.

    Even if your Golden State Warriors win, it won't amount to anything per your own logic, because you didn't play against Michael Jordan. They didn't win their only NBA Championship against him either. :rolleyes:

    I'm hoping the Rockets learned from the comeback. You keep fighting, attacking, don't give up, have heart (all terms they have already used about the comeback) and you give yourself a chance. If the Rockets lose in 4 but still fought every possession, I'd be disappointed but still proud of them because champions don't stop give up and as long as they have heart, like a champion, I can still see a great future for this team.

    Dwight is the best center in the league, his defense has kept this team in the playoffs. If Patrick Beverley comes back during a series with GSW, we'll have a dog fight. Imagine his heart and the heart this team has recently shown...

    But who is thinking about a WCF matchup when we still have 1 more game to win? :D

    Not my Golden State Warriors. I just think they are fun to watch and live in the area.

    I agree. Unless this season turns out to be the first of many championships, I think they'll be remembered much like the 2008 Celtics. Very good team, but not an all-time great.

    They're really really good. How many teams are the best offensively and defensively?

    They have to be exposed on the inside.

    I felt Memphis was doing a great job at stopping Thompson and killing them on the inside.

    Wonder why they got away from that.

    Tony Allen's injury hurt Memphis a lot.

    True. But they put Conley on Curry in the last few games when they should have stuck him on Thompson.

    The Rockets have changed the matchups with Paul from Ariza to Terry.

    It's all about the big man rotation to cut everything off.

    Thompson is the guy to shut down on that team. Curry will get his no matter what.

    It's really hard to expose a frontline of Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut inside.
