Its a fair assumption to say the Golden State Warriors are the better team and over a large sample size of 82 games this is pretty clear. But that's whats makes the playoffs special. You only have to be better for a smaller and less predictable sample size. Intangibles becomes more valuable, and a little luck is needed to endure the long journey. I will admit I thought the rockets were done after gm. 4. I will take a double serving of crow. However, I currently believe the rockets will beat GS in 7 and win the NBA title. Here's why; they are the 2012 Baltimore Ravens. They are a team of playoff experienced veterans that play with an emotional chip. Will is an incredible thing that can get you to achieve things many thought weren't possible. The ravens had a miraculous comeback against the broncos (similar to our series comeback) to go on and take down the juggernaut Patriots. They had role players i.e. Jacoby Jones (Josh Smith) step up and deliver huge plays after getting passed around the league because he could never live up to his physical ability. Maybe I'm still drunk from yesterdays win, but I see a lot of similarities in these teams.
Football is one game. In basketball its 7 games. There is less variance. However we can still beat the GSW, but football != basketball.
