    I want us to beat the team that beats all teams now.

    Really Durant is the eye sore of the room, the warriors were an already good team [Best regular season record ever] I mean they were already deemed invincible before Durant arrived. Cavs pulled out a miracle comeback.

    Adding Durant was just over the line, he’s the second best player in the league behind Lebron James. He’s a do it all player for the most part but his offense is just so easy for him given his height advantage and athleticness.

    Adding him in my personal opinion was the worst thing that happend in the NBA ever tbh.

    Obviously everyone is human and everyone beatable despite the odds, I’m hoping the rockets pull through.

    Sam Cassell is amazing off the bench, his mid range is impossible to stop

    How would the 94-95 lineup match up against the Warriors though. They’re like a hybrid 97 Jazz/Sonics

    What makes you great isn't what you do. It's what you overcome.

    Golden State is designed to avoid adversity completely. It allows them the luxury of sitting their players through the last couple months of the season, sleepwalking their way to the playoffs, and playing poorly (one of the worst turnover teams) while still winning easily.

    They should just make the 8th seed next season, sitting their guys half or more than half the season and bulldoze through everyone again to the championship just to prove that the NBA is completely broken and pointless.....

    Unless we beat them..

    Nobody has beaten this team at home in the playoffs, 2 years running.

    All we can ask is for a hard fought game. Show some spirit.

    Favorably , the Rockets have great 3 point shooters and Robert Horry has been the x factor with his stellar defense and clutch shooting.
    Sam Cassell off the bench is basically CP3 as a bench player.

    Kenny can shoot and he doesn't turn the ball over. Drexler is a great finisher.

    Dream in 95 went though Barkley, Malone, Robinson, and Shaq

    Draymond would be fouled out, plus if he tried to mess with Mario Elie.. well , bye Draymond

    Clutch City 95 was the most mentally tough team in all sports
    And Dream was pure that we will still be talking about him a thousand years from now

    To everybody who says 'greatness' is about overcoming adversity and struggling and all that stuff...

    92 Dream Team. Obviously the best team ever assembled... they had a cakewalk to the gold... Not a great team?

    Are the Warriors really good? Of course. But so is this Rockets team. All the Rockets have to do is stay disciplined, like they did in game 2, and they can beat the Warriors anywhere.

    For some inexplicable reason, they played out of control and reverted back to Harden and Paul dribbling the life out of the shot clock instead of quick offense and constant movement. If the game 3 team shows up, they get blown out again. If the game 2 team shows up, it’s anyone’s game.

    The Houston Rockets showed effort/focus/heart/balls, whatever you want to call it, and they won because of it.

    Amen.

    The greatest team in NBA history wouldn't have lost this game (especially after those Q1 and Q4 double-digit leads) and coughed up the home court advantage.

    What I'll admit about this Warriors team is that they're one of the best teams ever WHEN THINGS ARE GOING THEIR WAY.

    Otherwise, they're a bunch of weak-minded, whiny ass b****es. They get mentally weak as soon as the tide turns against them.
