Houston is top 5 defense in clutch situations FYI so the stops are clearly there when they need them


Not that I disagree with you but you are relying way too much on regular season metrics to make assumptions about the playoffs. A 7 game series is crazy different than the regular season.

I'll believe it when I see it when it matters.

D'Antoni teams are always soft. The Rockets big three is Charmin soft. Bad combo when you go against physical teams.

I seriously hope you dont think the rockets are better than the cavs in a 7 game series.



Yea, you got me on that one. No, I don't believe the Rockets could get them in 7 games if the Cavs are focused and have their starting 5 in there all series. Just better. I don't think any team in the league can beat them when they are playing focused and dialed in with their full cast. The last 2 playoffs more than prove that. I fully believe that had Irving and Love been available for the full extent of the playoffs two years ago they would have beaten the Warriors then.

But, I still don't believe they can defend the Rockets barrage of 3's. Would the Rockets make said open looks though consistently throughout a 7 game series though?? That is what we all are waiting to see.

These are definitely 2 things to consider in an NBA Finals. Whether a Lebron James team will be focused!!!
