Chris Broussard: James Harden & the Rockets 'could beat' Warriors in the playoffs | NBA | UNDISPUTED

Are the Rockets the biggest threat to the Warriors?

[@jadenrobinson1561]

@TJ Martin yes

[@lj-hd2sg]

Okc might

[@raferalstonisgoat4457]

no the only team that stands a chance is maybe milwaukee. No team in the west stands a chance vs golden state. I really want them to lose but i dont see it happening.

[@925Sports]

Bucks, Thunder, Raptors, Rockets in that order.

[@Dec4AllTimeAlways]

The biggest threat to the Warriors are the Warriors. Draymond's temper, KD's thin skin, and Steph's weak ankles. The 2nd biggest threat are the Bucks who will have HCA.

[@djaramillo09]

The only thing stopping the Rockets in my opinion is themselves. If they miss 20 something threes again in the postseason against any team than they'll get bounced out. But lets not forget that the Warriors 3's weren't falling for most of the first half of Saturdays game. That wont be happening much moving forward so I ultimately think GS will repeat but it'll be very very close. Watch for OKC & PG too!!
