    We've barely seen anything from them, yet I've already seen enough. Far better than the Splash Bros. Far better than Isiah and Dumars, Parker & Ginobili or anything that we've ever seen. Paul is almost a perfect fit next to James, keeping his legs fresh and making him more efficient. We'll push the Warriors in the WCF to 5-6 games, possibly 7. We will prove to everyone that we are contenders, and we will land LeBron in FA. #RiskProfile #GOATeam

    See, I don't believe this Rockets roster as constructed will merely "push" the Warriors to 5-6-7 games......I believe they can beat them outright.

    That requires 4 perfect games vs the greatest team ever. Not gonna happen. It's one thing to be a homer, but you have to realize some things so you don't drive yourself crazy when we lose to them.

    I think you're right.

    I'm trying to think of who else would be in the running:

    Steph Curry and Klay Thomspon
    Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili
    Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars
    Jerry West and Gail Goodrich

    Who am I missing?

    Brother, I am not going to go "crazy" if things so South nor am I setting myself up for failure. Maybe you're the one being a bit of a defeatist about the "glory" of the Great and Mighty Warriors. It's just basketball...nothing more.

    I'm calling it as I personally see it based on the improvements that I have seen over last season and the realistic realized potential as this unit gets better and better over the course of the season.

    And NO, the Rockets will NOT have to play 4 perfect games against the Warriors to win the series. Case in point....look at the first game of this season against the Warriors....Rockets were FAR from perfect nor were they a healthy finished product at that point. Call it what you will, but it is what it is....excuses notwithstanding.

    I believe this Rockets team with a healthy CP3 is for real and will be a force to be reckoned with coupled with the added versatile defensive pieces. Harden's workload got easier because he has hall of fame help playing the same position as him. Looks good and positive to me for the future.

    Plus GS got carried by Nick Young that game with a season high 23, that he's only got within 10 points of 1 other time this season... Against tanking Chicago

    i believe we can too. We must get the 1 seed though, and have SA and the warriors battle each other out on the other side, so by the time they get to us, they'll be worn out or injured.

    And you think the Warriors were too? Did you not see what they did last season? They're still the same team. I wouldn't be surprised if they swept the playoffs man, you're really underestimating their power.
