I'll bet you anything that won't happen. Maybe in 6 or 7, but not 5. I'd say the Rockets have a better chance of winning in 7, than they do of losing in 5. No way they lose 4 out of 5 games to anyone. You know your stuff - and I respect that - So we can just bet for shits & grins and an "I TOLD YOU SO" if you want. But I will take any bet you want that GS will not beat the Rockets in 5 (or less) games.

Oh - I agree with you on your regular season take to a point. But my position was that if you're gonna slam the Rockets for beating Boston how they did last night, you gotta give them credit for beating GS twice this season in basically the same way. Fair is fair - right? Besides, when it comes to beating GS, anytime is a huge confidence builder. So, in that respect, the regular season wins do matter. You did see how Golden State lost in Portland the week before last? Right? It happens...

And most wont unless it happens. Then what? That's exactly why I want the Rockets to face them. Everything to gain and absolutely nothing to lose, because nobody is giving them any kind of a real chance.

Bottom line is when it was time to win, the Rockets did. Ill take it. Not every win is pretty. Says something when u can win when not playing your best. Last year the Rockets lose that game. Not this year.

Now that "The Trade" is a couple weeks old, the Cavs are losing ground, again. They're just not all that good pre or post trade.

Trading older scrubs for newer scrubs was never going to do much of anything. Not sure why the media was freaking out about adding guys like Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood. LeBron is still likely to turn it up in the playoffs and make the Finals (although the improved Raptors may pose the stiffest challenge he's had in years in that regard), but this is the weakest team he's ever had.

But you're right, Toronto is also going to have to rely on DeRozan and Lowry to score in the playoffs (as I don't think guys like Van Vleet, Wright, Siakam, and Poeltl will be able to do that effectively against teams playing tough defense) and that will likely be their downfall again considering their track records in that regard. |

Video on the absurd production of the Raptors bench. Guess we'll see soon how much it matters come April. |
