Why do people think Warriors have an easy match up against the Rockets?

[Mirin4rmfar]

I will be rooting for the Warriors BUT....They will not be able to pack the pain like they like did to the Grizzs. Terrance Jones and Howard will abuse them in the post. If they dare pack the paint, Terry,Harden and Ariza will make them pay. Also don't forget Harden can penetrate and dish. Grizz had no wing/perimeter shooters and no one that could drive consistently.

i dont think dwight will have much of an effect this series. Hes not a versatile scoring threat that marc gasol has. And since gs is pretty much a perimiter team, his defense may not have much of an impact
Klay thompson should be able to slow down harden. I dont think the rockets have anybody who can gaurd curry. Maybe if beverly was playing they could contain him, but i dont know about now.

People get caught up in the regular season. That pick and roll with Dwight will be deadly if they go to it. Especially with Josh. The warriors cannot stop a healthy Dwight if the rockets feed him and if the refs don't call ticky tack fouls on him.

because they dominated them in the regular season

Because they have no one to guard klay or curry

However I got warriors in 7 due to home court. But remember the rockets have the most playoff exp with the teams that are left.

Ariza and brewer?

lol

so we just gonna ignore ZBO and Gasol being neutralized?

the warriors actually have depth. theres nowhere to hide jason terry.

for the rockets to win, josh smith has continue to play well including making outside shots. the one thing the rockets have going for them is experience. d12, harden, ariza, terry, have all been to the finals or won a title. maybe the warriors will shrink as the spotlight brightens and the pressure of being the favorite.

but like ive said, its still pretty much the warriors title to lose. best offense and defense, and they are the healthiest team left by far.

Warriors in 5

They smoked the rockets with Patrick Beverly, which is the only person on their team who can bother Steph. He's not playing and in his place are two guards who are almost 40. Klay routinely slows Harden down. Josh Smith staying as hot as he is is wishful thinking at this point.

Not to mention, ever since Harden said "they weren't that good" (after losing by 20) they've had extra motivation to beat them.
