The NBA world increasingly believes that the Rockets can challenge the Warriors

Still waiting for the Prodigal Rocket to return.

Believe It!

 

Dang, even at this point, JVG only puts us at parity with GS... C'mon dawg!

 

I can understand their skepticism early in the season, because we had yet to prove we could dominate them. But, they can't deny that Golden State didn't own us this year, and they have to admit the threat and power is legit, or lose all respect as analysts of the game.

 

I still have a lingering belief that GS will take it to another level in the playoffs. We're clearly better right now, but I can't believe we'll beat them until it happens. They're that stacked.

 

nothing is going to change until the rockets actually dethrone GS whenever that may be. the regular season is good and a nice step but when it really matters is what will change actual outlooks bc after that theres nothing else to be said

 

i have no doubt GS will be ready in the playoffs. thinking otherwise isn't being truly realistic. if hou and gs meet in the playoffs, it will go down as one of the best matchups ever.

 

Portland or OKC might take out Golden State
You are correct

Rocket River

 

Curry just got reinjured when McGee fell on his leg. Hopping into the locker room I hope it's not an ACL or anything

 

Media darling Curry with possible MCL tear. Sucks for him but a blessing for the rockets in disguise. This would basically cement our road to the finals assuming Harden doesn't choke the first few rounds..

 

Actually feel bad for the guy. Rushed back too soon. They are making the playoffs. For them 2 3 4th seed... it shouldn't matter at this point, they aren't competing for the first seed anymore. That ship sailed away. They are proving right now that they have no depth. I figured things would fall apart after Jerry West jumped ship. I honestly want to beat the Warriors with no "*" or "?".

 

I agree. But if the Rockets win the ring this year I will be just as happy as when they won it twice without a prime Bulls team.

 

Absolutely, but we all know what people will say. It's stupid but that is how people will perceive us if we win it all. The Rockets got lucky the Warriors were injured the past season....

 

Who cares what they believe. Harden and CP3 has got to stay healthy and perform in playoff series deciding games. If another game 6 happens again like last year, Harden's entire legacy will be dead.

 

Nah, unrelated. Javale fell on his leg.

 

HOU Rockets real record.....
If we’d beaten BOS and the LAC earlier in the year, which are 2 games where we lead by 20, we would be 60-12, that’s pretty damn impressive!

 

Houston Rockets real record...
If Harden plays in that 5 game loosing streak we had earlier in the season in which we played LAL, LAC, BOS, WAS, OKC and in 2 of those games HOU held a 20 point lead before blowing it and loosing we could easily be 60-12 at worst and 63-9 at best, man that’s a damn good team.

 

You must be a troll. No way you're a fan with that comment.

 

How convenient. Kerr was already making excuses before this "injury" via friendly fire.

 

How about both of those shitty Memphis games? Or how about the Toronto game where we sleep walked through the entire first quarter? Rockets could have a very very good record if not for a few stupid bumps in the road, but its hard to complain given how well everything has turned out.

 

They still ha be 3 all stars right.

KD is 2nd best in league right.

Harden can't play in playoffs right.

CP3 never pass 2nd round of playoffs right.

Let's make all these WRONG by Rockets winning a Chip.

And Cleveland lose to Toronto so LeBron is open to move.
