    These days, anyone in the Warriors organization talking smack, however offhand, is starting to show that anxiety sweat-mustache.

    Whereas at the beginning of the season they were like, "Yeah, we could see (insert Eastern Conference team name here) in the Finals."

    Yaknow previous rockets seasons you would always have doubts because you saw many weaknesses in the team but this season just gives me the hope that rockets could be champions

    They have shown little to no signs of being a fluke obviously from there 60 win season and also are purely dominating and closing out close games in clutch fashion and also have found the will and drive to come back after being down a lot

    The roster is incredibly perfect, we have capable staters/role players on our team that are bench riding.

    Nothing he said was wrong... Although it's somewhat interesting that he didn't *totally* acknowledge that the Warriors might not be there, either. Especially given all their injury issues.

    As I previously mentioned - seems, since opening night, like the Warriors are practically obsessed with not beating the Rockets.

    They not only not talk, they not walk. #strengthinnumbers

    Its true on both ends..

    Even though we're on a chemistry and ball playing high right now, our two main stars on the team are known to go MIA come playoff time. Everyone is waiting to see what we will get from these two come playoff time.

    Who cares? We all know we have to prove it on the court. We don't need the Warriors to explain that to us. Pfft.

    They should be. I'm amazed at how so many in the media are dismissing these injuries as if they'll all be healed by playoff time(or the second round in Curry's case). A broken thumb on Thompson's shooting hand is no minor ailment. Durant could easily re-aggravate his injury. And Curry's got a bum ankle AND a badly sprained knee. Draymond is maybe the only one I wouldn't be too worried about. And let's not also overlook that Iggy and Livingston are not what they used to be.

    while thats true,as previously stated, our two main guys we're counting on to take us to the promise land. If one of them choose not to show up or harden pulls what he did last year.. we can't afford to rely on CP3 or Harden soley if one of them decide to disappear come playoff time.

    That's the reason why everyone is still doubting us, and rightfully so. It would be unrealistic to say "oh no rockets won't choke this year we got harden AND CP3, they're together now so they won't choke like they did in the past. They really need to prove it. Which i truly believe we will see in the first round. It's not going to be easy no matter who we go up against but rockets will be trying to make a statement and im sure go for a sweep
