  Why?

  I love how Mark Jackson is telling us how he'd do everything. You know he hates calling this series.

  Because the Rockets are terrible defensively and have had a chance to win both of these games.

  Regular season means nothing, they are lucky to have made it this far. The Clippers were easily better and choked the series away, the Spurs would have whooped them in 5 or 6 games, I'd pick Atlanta and Chicago over them easily too. They play no defense, get beat back door all the time, suck on pick and roll D, how many wide open shot has Curry had this series?

  Um they beat the clippers....who beat the spurs. When you beat someone in a 7 game series, you're better than them

  Playoffs are about match ups, the Rockets are not the third best team in the league, not even close. Anyone who watched that Rockets and Clippers series saw the Clippers as the better team who choked it away.

  You're crazy, they are one of the final 4 teams remaining, how the fuck are they not even close to a top 4 team? Top 4 record, 2 seed in the west..

  That means absolutely nothing. And you said third best team, not it's top 4?

  I did say 3rd best team, I didn't stutter. You said they weren't a top 3, not even close...how does someone with the 3rd best record make the final 4 and not even be close to being a top 3 team?

You've been on this guys nuts since he was an overrated prospect coming out of HS. We get it, you think he's cool because he has a beard. Enjoy watching your favorite player rot in Houston and never win anything!

  Why were you talking about Pau Gasol when the rest of us were discussing Marc? You know, the one that by your logic shouldn't be first team, either. Davis is okay because he'll probably win an MVP someday. Got it.

  They beat an overrated Dallas team and were getting their asses beat by the Clippers til they choked the series away. The Spurs are better, the Hawks and the Bulls. That means they aren't third best. They are terrible defensively, almost laughably for most of the game.

  No you see they beat the clippers, you can't say a team is better when they can't beat their opponent. Rockets>clippers>spurs
  
  Hawks and warriors I'll give you...but the bulls LOLZ
