Golden state won't make it back to the finals next year book it. They will not get as lucky as they did this year with Memphis, Houston and New Orleans all missing their starting PGS or being severely hurt. If Allen doesn't go down and Conley stats healthy they beat GSW. Not afraid of GSW at all.
I feel like Rockets have a very good chance to do something special next season. They were a VERY good team this season and they will improve.
Yeah, we salty... that's part of being a fan. Ive been braving the ESPN forums all year long trolling the GS fans. Granted it was fun. After the NBA started caring more about their agenda instead of actual sportsmanship - look at all the championships since early 2000's. Curry is the new face of the NBA - he is white as hell and black too AND he is damn good. Perfect poster child for the NBA.... not like James Harden and his strip-clubbing ways.... ooooh.. that's just bad for business. Anyway, Rockets fans... don't expect anything to change any time soon. GS is gonna be THE new dynasty for the next decade.
Improve to what? Green is playing as good as he ever will play. This is his max. Spurs will land either LMA or Gasol and Rockets will be going HARD to improve their team (when do they not?) As usual the East will suck again but the West will have probably 5 legit contenders again next year.

Man it's funny how media goes out of their way to diss the Rockets. On Monday SAS said Hakeem would not have won if Pippen-led bulls met him int he finals that year. Seriously. He said this out of the blue to just prop up Pippen. He then said had The Cavs been playing us then they would have won. Just...out of nowhere. We have nothing to do with this finals and still get shade thrown our way.
Lmao clutch at what? What adversity did they go through? What a joke. Congrats to the warriors but stuff like this makes you root against them. Can't even win with gratitude. Not even the Miami heat were this annoying.
If we look to put this year's NBA champion* in the context of history, when's the last time we had an NBA champion that wouldn't have beat this Dubs team? 2011? 2006? 2004?
We need a team full of thugs. Sign Matt Barnes. Grab Dexter Pittman out of whatever McDonalds he's eating in. Get Bruce Bowen to come out of retirement. Raja Bell as well. Average one injury to the opposing team per game. Win the chip. I would like to become the Bad Boy Pistons 2.0. I'm tired of this team getting clowned for being soft. If they want blood, we will give them blood and broken bones.
