1st round: Mavs/Wolves. Relatively easy opponent that might steal a game from us if we slip up. 2nd round: Clippers/Thunder. Talented team that can play as well and may take a lot to beat. 3rd round: Warriors. Speaks for itself We're better now than we were three years ago, our opponents have their own vulnerabilities we can exploit. I'm confident we can achieve a better result this time around.

no, 14-15 Harden is not better than 17-18 Harden...please explain why u think so 17-18>14-15>16-17>15-16
Last year's Harden had the better rebounding stats in his career as well as other stats. Although from a TO standpoint, it was his worst season, he also posted 11.2 apg. Without Chris he had hoarded all those assists. We tend to believe he was much better than last year or two years ago. The thing is he didn't have the chance to prove that much in the playoffs.
2015 playoff run felt like over achieving to make the WCF. If not for the pelicans beating the Spurs on the last night of the season then we might've not advanced as far. This year feels like we are flat out good enough to win the chip
There is not enough memory in my computer to put the actual representation of just how many '>' there is between an actual NBA coach like D'Antoni, and a former player like McHale.
Most definitely, I think there’s already a myth here about that 14-15 season Harden - since people think he should’ve won MVP - that it was somehow his best year (better than MVP Curry, which was just not true!). Last year he was definitely better too.
15-16 was an terrible season as a team but individually James was great. He single-handedly carried us to the playoffs.
You forgot Dwight but Harden should’ve won MVP that year for dragging that island of misfit toys to the WCF. Would ANY of those players make our active roste over what we currently have? Maybe Bev over ISO Joe?
