Rockets only 1 game behind Warriors in the loss column!

Forsure but the nba and west in general is so much better than 4-5 years ago.

Teams and players have def closed the gap it’s not just the rockets.

Do they have the most talent? Absolutely.

But we’re getting to see klay Thompson and to a lesser degree dragmond greens true colors.

These guys are complimentary high level role players. I get klay can score 50 points but he only does that next to steph and KD giving him wide open shots. He’s a great shooter and he’s still got to make them and he does, it’s impressive no doubt but ask him to create and its garbage. I watched the mavs game last night and I’d take luka Doncic over klay if I’m giving out max money tomorrow and wouldn’t think twice. Klay was so bad trying to get his own shot and KD just iso and shoots every time.

KD is not as good as everyone thinks he is great scorer not a leader and not a guy who elevated anyone but himself. I’ll take Harden all day if I’m trying to win 55 games with no other allstar on my team. He’s very Lebron like in that aspect.

Would I rather have klay in Houston? Yes because klay skill set goes with harden and cp3 and doncic overlaps too much although he would be a great bridge from cp3 to him as 2nd best player in 2 years.

Green don’t get me started. I’ve never seen a great defender who avg 10 points on poor shooting with 7 rebound and 7 assists get called a superstar top 15 player.

It’s insane, most overrated player of this decade by far. Players like kemba walker who gets no love is a much better player then donkey green.

Once again steph out and green can’t buy a bucket and turns the ball over as much as he gets assists. He’s not worth even 15m a season imo. I’ll take tucker who is not as good at anything green does expect being a better shooter but is good enough and makes 75% less going foward. The gap is not that big on D imo.

Rockets have a style on offense and defense that is just different than any team in the nba and it slows everyone down and literally forces even the warriors to play our game. That’s why we have more wins over them than any team the last 4-5 seasons.

Rockets defense with the switching works. We’re legit elite on that end. Don’t listen to the media we’re A very very good defensive team with Clint down low. I actually think ennis now that he’s healthy is fantastic he what we needed. He’s a big quick athletic pest he’s framing everywhere. He’s a little erratic but that’s what makes him different than Ariza.

Offensively as long as we have James we’ll get good looks guy including him have to hit if we do that we can beat GS in the playoffs just like we had a chance last season even when cp3 went down. We still had double digit leads in both those games playing our style. That was all harden.

Maybe ppl can just start giving harden his due as the best force in basketball. I don’t want to hear about Giannis or AD anymore. Those guys have won way less than jh and get hyped on talent and what could be. It’s so annoying.

We’re watching historic stuff with James that’s why I try not to miss any games because we won’t see a player this good for the rockets let alone the nba in a very long time just like Lebron smd curry. Those 3 are just special special talents and if James can get his chip ppl will start to give him his due as the 3 rd best SG and a top 20 player off all time.

W. Warriors are a great great team but at the same time overrated as hell. Their best opponent during all 3 championship runs had one of their two best players injured. They came in during the post-heat vacuum when not a lot of teams had aggregated multiple stars in their prime. Basically only the thunder, a small market team unable to keep its core together, could actually hope to compete. Once teams started to adapt to the new elite it became clear that the warriors are not at all unbeatable. For one thing they never had to deal with real adversity

I do think teams are closing the gap partly because of what you said and partly there just getting older even if there all still technically in their prime still.

Tbh adding KD was a great move they won 2 chips but we’re seeing now that it completely snapped them of their depth and bob Myers has not been able to find the James Ennis or LMB type wings for minimum.

They have been playing with a great 4 and and overpaid aging iggy for 2 going on 3 yrs now.

The guys they got playing are just garbage.

With that said it’s really telling something about KD and to a lesser extent klay that can’t even get 1 win when curry and green arnt in the lineup.

Replace kd with harden and the only loss they might have is tonight against a good thunder squad.

How they lest to Dallas or SA is beyond me when you got two of the so called 15 best guys in the league availbe. One being a former mvp regarded as the 2nd best player by most.

KD is overrated.

There is nothing wrong with the warriors other than health. No one has figured anything out. It’s health.

True, Curry being out is big and will put them right on track but...

The Warriors bench is actual trash. Iggy and Livingston just aren't what they used to be...the rest of these dudes are meh. I wouldn't trade Hartenstein for em...

West is wacky this year. Right now the top four teams are:
1. Memphis
2. Portland
3. Clippers
4. OKC

Rockets 8-seed, Pelicans/Jazz/Spurs/T-Wolves all currently out of playoffs
