The Rockets aren't getting anywhere in the playoffs

[Inferno]

Right or wrong?

[All Net]

They will likely get to the 2nd round.. Don't think anybody expects more this year.

The funny thing is you are talking shit when Houston is a much better team than Golden State. Houston could make the WCF

[KyleKong]

They won't be able to get pass the Spurs, Clippers, or Thunder.

I think they can take some teams without a really good scorer, but teams with players like Lebron, Durant, Wade, etc, will expose their porous defense. SAS don't match up too well with the Rockets, but the game tends to slow down in the playoffs. Rockets need to continue to develop their defensive identity (if possible). Parsons was mic'd up and I heard him preaching "tighter defense". That's a great sign.

[oh the horror]

I think Houston is still a few trades away from being legit.


They need some able veterans in that mix as well.


They're going in the right direction but I still don't like how they currently play.

1-1 against each other, a few games apart, and they're much better? Warriors beat the 3rd seed last year and went on to take 2 games out of the team that went to the Finals.

Meanwhile, Houston was gonna get swept by the Thunder if Westbrook didn't get hurt



Warriors' defense will have a field day against the prayer 3's the Rockets will be heaving in the 4th if the two teams meet

Stop. Denver was hurt that series. Golden State is much more scared of Houston that Houston is of Golden State.
Are you really going to bring up Houston last year like they didn't just add a superstar center? Get real.

[ImKobe]

2nd round exit

[zoom17]

They would go further then the warriors

[Heavincent]

Stop. Denver was hurt that series.

And GS wasn't? David Lee was injured.

[IncarceratedBob]

Lee was injured too.

And we added Iddy, and bolstered our bench. Plus Bogut is finally playing healthy and has the best defensive rating in the NBA.

Rockets 0-1 against the Warriors with Iggy

They would go further then the warriors

Did they last year?

[Railgun]

They would go further then the warriors

Exactly. Golden State still has 2 vs. San Antonio and 2 vs. Portland, and another vs. the Grizz. They could miss the playoffs.

[LONGTIME]

First round exit if the playoffs started right now.
