    Can a healthy Rockets team defeat a healthy Warrior team in a best of 7 series?

    Backcoirt of Paul and Harden is better than Curry and Klay, both backcourts are as good as it gets, I still like my chances with Paull and Harden however.

    Durant is Durant, the best player in the league and that includes LeBron, however I don't trust Draymon Green, I like him, don't trust him.

    Houston's center Capela (tied for fifth in the NBA with 11 rebounds per game) and 14 points per game is light years better than any center GSW trots out, and I like Houston's complimentary/bench players Goron, NeNe, Ryan Anderson,
    and Trevor Ariza flies under the radar.

    With six players that average double digit scoring a game and a better bench Houston can beat GSW, not easily, but can represent the West

    I like the backcourt of Curry and Klay better than Paul and Harden. Klay is a beast of the defense end in a 7 game series. He can focus lot more on defense as the other two need to put everything into offensive end

    Rockets tonight were the first team since 2008 to lose consecutive games when favored by 11+ points in each game.

    What exactly has Harden ever done in post season.

    CP has been solid, but not even an appearance in the finals.

    D`Antoni.....how is his playoff record?? 6 max.

    Could do it with LeBron.

    The only team with a chance to win two games in a series vs the warriors in the West is the spurs. They would have done that last year if Leonard didn't get hurt. Don't fool yourself the Spurs are very good. They have quietly rebuilt the entire roster and they have the patience and team defense to give the warriors trouble. The rockets are a joke.
