without cp3 it puts them in a very bleak position yes but as far as not having enough with him thats where i disagree bc they've shown they do.
I promise you I won't say I told you so. Even though that's common verbiage here in this message board that many, many posters use. My posts are always about how to make this team a championship team. This is the only team I root for, the only team I care about winning, the only team I am a fan of. I do have a right to my opinion. I will continue to post my opinion. And my opinion is right a whole lot of the time. And finally, I really don't care what you think about me personally. We can talk basketball and the Rockets. Or you can waste everybody's time and energy posting petty personal attacks. I don't care. If I get too tired of seeing your crap I'll block it. You can do the same. But you don't. Hmmmmmm, isn't that interesting.... L8r
and how do you defeat that? You outcompete them, which is what the Rockets have been doing. You make more shots those impossible shots. You aggressively defend against passes, keeping people from even getting the ball. You get in their grill on every shot. What happens then? Green bobbles the final pass, because of the pressure, and you win. Same is true of most of the other Warriors' turnovers.
Iggy is hurt too. Having enough encompasses injuries. If we beat them then I'm wrong and we had enough.
We wont be favored if Paul can't play. My understanding as of now is it will take a miracle for Paul to be able to play. Like I said if we win a championship then obviously we had enough. When I said we didn't have enough it was taking into account all the factors including health. Once again, hopefully I'm wrong. I want these guys to win a ring.
I'm wondering what you're thinking after witnessing Paul walk off with the pain etched in his face, knowing he was already dinged? You really think we've got enough to get it over the finish line? Whatever dude.
I'm with you. Obviously we want to win it all, but if Paul is out for the season I'll be more than happy with winning 65 games and taking one of the greatest teams of all time to 7 games (and that's the worst case scenario now). The part that worries me is that at Paul's age he is only going to become less reliable. I feel like without major changes this was our best chance. And I think with what we'd need to pay Paul and Capela to come back and with what we're paying Anderson, major changes are unlikely.
When I said wet didn't have enough I was basing that on: 1. All teams being healthy. 2. All teams suffering injury concerns. The only way we would have enough is if we can beat them if they're totally healthy. They're not. And we're not either. I didn't think we had enough to beat them in a 7-game series if we were totally healthy. Now we're trading injuries.....LMM and CP3 for Iggy and Klay and Steph being partially dinged. .......Why in the world.....knowing the health of both teams......wiuld I believe we have enough to beat them now? Here's what I believe. We have the defensive recipe to beat them. We don't have enough bodies to execute it well enough to beat them....healthy or injured. Hopefully I'm wrong.
hou blew out the warriors with iggy and their entire team healthy in game 2. rockets have enough to beat them even when they have everyone.
Tf holic is with all these Larriors injuries coming from, Iggy & Klay & Steph all injured??? Beadle, is that you? Boi they just got hit by the THICCCC SQUAD, that ain't no injury.
That's the sticky part. We cannot pay Capela big money and land lock our roster with both his contract and Anderson's deal and have to sit him when we're playing the Warriors. It simply makes no sense to have that much salary cap parked on the bench. We need another primary guy. I've said that all along. And the other factor is we really need to stay out of the luxury tax next season. That will effectively postpone us being in the repeater luxury tax to a later time while the Warriors are having to make critical decisions about their salaries. (Personally, I think they try to move KT on draft night for a rookie sharpshooter/defender that they can plug and play into their system. That is.....if they don't make a big run for Paul George using KT/Iggy and other assets.) The luxury tax, specifically the repeater luxury tax is a key consideration in how we shape our roster next season and going forward.
Don't see how you can say that. We beat then twice without Iggy. We basically had Paul those two games.
huh? i said without cp3 it puts hou in a very bleak position and hou blew out gs in game 2 with their entire team healthy
We beat then the first game of the season. So you could have made the claim we had enough even back then to beat them.......in a single game......because OBVIOUSLY that's true. One game does not make a series. They blew us out too. It's a 7-game series. Hopefully you're right. I want to see this group get a ring. They deserve it. They're a hard-working, smart bunch. They deserve it.
ok and that also mean GS has enough to beat hou. but that doesn't mean hou doesn't have enough to beat GS and they're absolutely proving that. like i said once again, it just comes down to execution but now we obviously take into account cp3 and his situation
Remember 2009? We won Game 6 against the Lakers with a Metta World Peace anchoring the team (losing Game 7 in this series won't be a problem if there is no Game 7). https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200905140HOU.html Los Angeles Lakers 80 Houston Rockets 95
When I said we ain't got enough that was all taken into account. Execution ain't got nothing to do with it. Our top guys that can play with the Warriors are going to execute. Period. We simply don't have enough, healthy, unhealthy. I don't think we've got enough. Hopefully I'm wrong and we actually do have enough to limp the wagon over the finish line. That's what I want. Would be as epic as '95 in my book.
