    LOL that GS also beat Portland 4-0 wihtout KD, same core won 1 championship and had a 73 win season. And this year they are trying to add depth. If they can convince Nets for a S&T Kevin Durant they can have $30mil. trade exception.

    The same core beat Harden's Rockets year after year in playoffs..the best Rockets could win was 1 game.

    So, you are saying they are better without KD? LOL if thats true, thats dumb. If not, then how do you explaing us taking 2 games off them with KD and keeping it close every single game? Klay is gonna be gone for a long while, and even when he comes back, im pretty confident we would beat them. They would not beat us if they started the series without KD. And who says thats going to happen? Bro....stop assuming things are gonnna happen. If it does fine, we'll be okay, we arent done with FA.

    Not the same teams at all. You need to examine the context bro. They beat us when we didnt have Gordon, Tucker or CP in 2014-2015, and then the next year they beat us with that same roster that got worse.

    I got nothing recently, just hold it down and hope my previous info goes true. It looked very likely will see. I’m still holding strong that jimmy comes here as it would have to be a big change of heart or disagreement if that isn’t the case.

    I didn't say GS is better without KD... but GS without KD has a very one sided record against Rockets. I'm a GS hater and tired of watching them beating Rockets year after year with or without KD.

    What would y’all think if the Rockets acquired Al Horford?

    And those were different teams dude? Those Rockets teams that were facing the warriors without KD were not the same team as the one weve had hte past two years. We had some bad luck the past two years, our team from last year was the better team imo.

    Only our 17-18 team was good...last year's team was no good (means not championship caliber).

    Yea it was. Look at how the Raptors competed against the Warriors? KD played one quarter that series and they still got taken to 6 games. And they lost the game KD played in. Not to mention Klay and Looney were out a lot of the series as well...so what does that tell you?

    I can appreciate that statement. Everyone, not just athletes should try and live their best lives.
    There are still a handful of "old school" guys that consider a championship the separator when it comes to other players and their legacy.

    The rockets have NEVER been a better team than the warriors. Even without KD,

    Steph and Klay >> harden and cp3, because cp3 is out of his prime.

    Then they have such a high impact players like green and Iguodala.

    Does anybody actually care?

    If Butler, like Bosh before him, wants to chillax in south beach while competing for the East 7 seed.....it's good riddance, as it was with Bosh, ultimately.

    This is not for him. It's fine.

    Yea they have, they were better last year? Fully healthy roster, we were definetly better. If you think that they beat us without KD to start the series after we took 2 games off them WITH KD, than I dont know what to tell you, you're wrong is all I can say.

    And last year Harden and CP were definitively better than Klay and Steph. But yea since Cp is out of his prime, thats probably true.

    What the hell does Ken Bazemore bring?

    How does he make that team so much better?

    Why are you even posting if we have no hope.

    Man I would instantly hate Miami if they somehow got Beal and Butler but there is no way that is happening.

    What evidence do you have to support we were better? We had two chances without KD to get a win and fell flat on our face. That same team then swept the conference finals. You are overrating the rockets. We were not better. Their stars played better. They know what it takes because they have been there. The rockets played like they expected GS to hand it to them, especially in game 5 when KD went down. Just no desperation out of this group. They aren’t better because still don’t get what it takes and still probably needed more talent.
