If the Rockets beat the Warriors, do the Rockets raise eyebrows?

At the end of the day, one win or loss doesn't prove anything unless it's the 4th W of the NBA finals.

 

This....

 

The Buddha has something to say:

Spoiler

 

The spurs have never been media darlings even after winning 4 titles with same core of players. They had to reach the finals 2 years in a row before the media started respecting them. While OKC only reached the finals once yet they are always favored to win the ring. There is no logic to how these so called analysts come up with their predictions/analysis.

 

I'd rather see us be an underdog the whole year, and let the media sleep on us. Who cares what they spew? If we win it all, it all changes, if we lose, it doesn't matter.

 

Just getting out of the 1st round would prove something to the media, the fans, and the team themselves.

This Rockets franchise is so snakebitten, the first round IS the finals for us.

 

Rockets haven't beaten anybody yet. The opponents are easy so far. The Spurs didn't even play some of their starters. The Golden State game will be the real test.

 

No it won't the next excuse is we are at home. Not that we are missing two starters... Golden State got beat in the first round last year just like Houston. Might as well stop saying test. The test is the 2015 nba playoffs.
