    Last year's talk.

    Harden should be the MVP.

    This year's talk.

    We are built to beat the Warriors.

    Author thinks we are in position to beat Warriors, then probably beat Cavs. So yeah deeper.

    Hate to say it, but I'm worried about what OKC might do.

    And seeing that shot chart, it all makes sense now - it's just Beard creating a self portrait, like non:

    My brother is not an avid follower of the NBA, but he just called me about a media conspiracy.

    He was listening to Ben Mallor, who pumped Chris up last year, berate his health issues just now. Had to laugh. Media doesn't hate our players as people, they cheer openly against the Rockets. They are embracing the dark side. We just need our Luc to skywalk the **** out of darth curry in the playoffs and then get him to throw his dad out of the window and into space.

    Draymond Green is the x-factor difference between the 2 teams. I now realize this.

    Without Draymond both teams appear very equal. Pending injuries.

    Without Draymond - the best defensive player in the world, and best passer on their team - we are better imo. They would not be able to outdefend us and Durant would have far more difficult defensive assignments every night. Not to mention Iggy having to log serious minutes for long stretches.

    This was born a Rockets website and remains so. The Astros forum was created later. The Texans didn't exist when this place was born.

    Rockets Fans First! Everything else is secondary here. God bless Keith Jones and the Rockets. Keith has been with us since the beginning.

    I believe so as well. I just don’t want to stake my name to that just yet.

    I agree HOUSTON rockets fans first!

    But yankees, lakers, patriots, mavs, spurs and anti houston fans come last!

    I like trig and justxyank. Legit posters. I consider them homies in this forum. (They are evil and vile in the astros forum though)

    That doesnt protect them from a yankees joke or two until this series is over tho lol

    Warriors would only have 1 title with an asterisk if KD hadn't gone up and joined them like a coward.

    In a sense. Some might also say it's like a Met, or an Islander.
