    from an AMA he did today

    @nflmemes Which of the three championship runs was your favorite and why?

    There’s nothing better than the first one, but the 2018 championship run, there was something that took place during that run, which was my favorite moment of any run, which was beating the Houston Rockets. They had said this team is built to beat the Golden State Warriors. They were on record saying that all year. Well, they had their chance, up 3-2 and Kevin got hurt, and that was the end of their run. That was my favorite moment of any run. That’s ballsy to go public and say you’re going to beat us and they did it. They said it all year. That was my favorite moment.

    The rockets were up 3-2 in 2018 when cp3 got hurt, but KD was not.

    The rockets were never up 3-2 in 2019 when KD actually got hurt. It was 2-2 and game 5 when KD got hurt.

    If he's trying to talk about 1 specific run like it sounds, he's grouping 2 seasons together incorrectly

    That's just respect. We were their main rivals during that time and they like to act like we were obsessed with them but they couldn't keep our names out of their mouths either. They knew that the Rockets had the best chance at beating them when they were completely healthy and so it meant more to them beating us than it did beating any other team.

    Kerr kept talking about the Rockets in irrelevant interviews since then. It still pisses me off to no end that CP got hurt during game 5 Q4. I would have preferred to win that series and lose the finals. Those pampered media darling California golden honey dipped scrotums mouth breathing donkeys and mouthguard chewing fetish chia pet garden gnomes needed to experience a dose of humility.

    The team that was constructed to beat the Warriors did beat the Warriors, both regular season and post season.

    The team that lost game 6 traded Chris Paul for Scott Foster.

    For a team that he beat 4x in the playoffs as part of their championship glory days, it is gratifying that the Rockets still live rent free in Draymonds head, despite him professing to not care at the time.

    Also the fact that he has to conflate the 2018 juggernaut Rockets with the inferior 2019 run it back version with bad Chris Paul to make his team seem like feisty underdogs is hilarious!

    Had Harden stepped up we'd won that series. Yes CP3 got hurt, but Harden sucked those last 2 games

    This ******* is really out here trying to claim the Warriors beating the Rockets in 2018 was a great underdog story?

    Get in the bin you mouth breathing donkey faced nut kicking backpack shooting open layup blowing wanker!

    I’m hoping Harden wins a chip this year while Draymond’s b**** ass can sit at home and watch.

    A brief reminder of all the times Draymond Green reminded us he wasn't thinking about the Rockets at all back then:


    And yet...its his crowning achievement.

    Eye gouging, drop kicking, nut kicker. Should have been long banned from the league.
