    I can not say absolutely not, but the opportunity would be less than 5%.

    If healthy and they are playing with confidence, than yes, definitely possible. Trading for Lebron doesn't hurt either.

    Of course they "can." It doesn't mean the odds are in our favor because they aren't, but CAN they? Of course they can. They have a chance at the chip and they are the only team, after Warriors, that has a chance.

    Not saying I wouldn't like to see improvements that don't come at the cost of chemistry. Of course I would. Then Rockets would have a better chance.

    I'm actually surprised that the majority opinion is they "probably have a chance."

    If the poll was WILL Rockets beat Warriors I would vote probably not. But the poll is do they even have a chance. Of course they do. Only they do.

    It's a shot making business. If we make our threes, we can beat any team in the league.

    I think we need a lot more from 4 spot versus GSW. That's why PJ Tucker and LMAM were brought in. It gives us one PF who can theoriticaly shoot threes and give below average defense + above average rebounds, and two above average defenders with below average treys. We need hybrid though - someone who can switch on Durant yet hit his shot consistently enough to space the floor and bring out Draymond from the paint. CP/Harden + Capela can work Curry/Pachulia picks all night long. Backup Center with different profile from Capela would be nice too. Someone thats inside presence and shot blocking ability
