Welp we should have beat OKC but all is still good. We Had a great chance last year but fell short. This year I think have a better chance of going to the finals.
We actually have a bench to depend on
We are healthy (knock on wood)
We added some key players before the trade deadline. (I love manimal)
I'm so ready for another Championship. I was in HS for the last 2. Ready to go to parade #3
PS. Screw the Warriors.

The Rockets have the right people but maybe not the right coach. It will,come down to how bad they want it

The coach is ok. He's no Rudy T. But he seems to be a players coach and seems to have put together a good group of players.

Defensive rebounding could be their downfall. The better teams will take advantage of the second chance opportunities.

Rockets are coming together at the right time.
D is much improved.
I like their chances.

Yas! I agree. All healthy, our bench is amazing. We have centers like Clint manamal and nene who can get rebounds.
Hardin aka Hard on just seems to be getting better which is ridiculous. CP3 (CPP) is having a hell of a year.
Green river house WTF. Add on Gordon and all the of others. Daymmm The whole team is crazy good.
I'm ready for the weekend
Go Cocks

So the Blazers steal 3rd place from the Rockets with a huge come from behind win.
Probably not a bad thing. I like a series with the Jazz slightly better than one with the Thunder but the way the bracket lines up they'll likely face the Warriors in rd 2. Get past them and they'll probably face the Nugget in the WC finals. The Rockets won the season series with both the Warriors and the Nuggets. Steve Kerr will have his team prepared.
Harden tried to will this team to the finals last year but everyone else going cold when it counted ruined it. He's got a little better cast around him but more importantly the core group has the experience of last year and they seem to all be healthy.
What can you say about CP3? The guy is a rock IMO. I know he's had some injuries but he gives it everything and is a leader. Him being healthy going into the playoffs is huge. Hopefully he can stay that way.
I've really enjoyed watching Capela grow as a player. Shades of Olajuwan defensively but he gets pushed around a little too much. I wish he was a better passer(seeing the court) It would help open up an inside out game. Maybe that's too old school for today's NBA. Speaking of old school I'd like to see them get a little mean at times, Knicks style. Maybe burn a couple of hard fouls with Nene to establish some nastiness and get teams off their game.
I don't think D'antoni brings that though. He flips out at the worst possible times and he doesn't adjust in game or from game to game. Seems like he has one style, RUN! and he won't put his foot up a players ass when it's needed. He just throws his hands up and bitches at refs. He may be the weakest link.
Gordon is the wild card. When he's on early he can light it up and that dimension makes them almost unbeatable but he has a hard time busting a slump in game. That's where an inside out game would help him get some good looks early. If Gordon goes cold Tucker has to pick up the slack. Otherwise it really becomes a 3 man game with Harden playing Iso about 75 percent of the time.
