Golden State Warriors at Houston Rockets Prediction
We have been vehement in our strategy to lay Golden State whenever the time was most opportune by virtue of the fact this is a team that is bound to be spotting inflated numbers anywhere they go. This situation sets up perfectly yet again as Houston has already beaten this team in Oakland this year, now they get them at home in Clutch City where they have been a pest for them historically. The Rockets are not the .500 team we saw last year with a failed point guard experiment and a maligned defense. No, this team has become a monster since The Beard moved from the 2 to the 1. In the off-season, Houston went out and scooped up Eric Gordon and the rest is history. The Warriors may have a star-studded cast but they have fallen on the road at the Lakers this year. There is no reason to suspect a team as good as Houston cannot knock them off outright in this one.
