Rockets Ain't ****

[SCS]

If the Rockets were actually that good, they wouldn't have finished 4th.

Um... the same could be said of us and the 5th seed.

Just sayin.

I do love the positivity of this board tho. I'll hop on board with some. The one thing that I do love about this matchup is that Rudy has a lot to prove after what people said about his performance in the Rockets series last year. And when he's on a mission to prove something he usually does.

Watching the full NBA TV playoffs preview it’s been great watching them every other topic talking Rockets vs Warriors and not a single IF even being muttered. Just a surety that’s the next round matchup

A few differences this year--
-- Thabo is healthy.
-- We have Kyle Korver who can go off.
-- Mitchell has a year under his belt and has different ways to finish at the rim.
-- Houston doesn't have Ariza to guard Mitchell.
-- Eric Gordon was a legit 6th man last year. This year he's been streaky at best.
-- Chris Paul has lost another half step.
-- As much as we rely on Jae Crowder, they rely on PJ Tucker.

We blew them out a couple times this year.

They also have Manimal and Rivers.

I’m beginning to think that they’re almost as good as last year. Not having ariza hurts. But they’ve added some pieces too. Manimal is going to be super active and pesky

I'm actually surprised I thought maybe I'm the only one who thought this.

The Jazz are not who we thought the Jazz were after the all star break (way before to be fair too.)

I was finishing Game of Thrones season 2 last night. As Tyrion Lannister said, "There's a lot of brave men trying to break through that gate. Let's **** them in the ***."

**** the Rockets. **** the fans mad we play the Rockets.

It's not progress if you matchup better with one team in the first round. It's the first round. Do what has to be done.

I liked what The Hound said when they were going into battle more. Any man dies without blood on his sword...

A healthy favors makes a big difference. Also Mitchell got hurt during this series last year. We were missing Rubio for most of it. Those make a big difference.
