Rockets playing D at the same level they did against the Warriors

I wonder if everyone has underrated their playoff resume because of the losses in those Warriors series.

No. We're all remembering that game 6 in Houston vs the Kawhi-less Spurs when Harden's game winner got blocked by an ancient Manu Ginobili.

Houston is beating up on a team that was supposed to be in the lottery. Wait til they face real competition, Harden will wither away like he always does. We should just expect it though - we saw D'Antoni teams flame out in the postseason every year he was in Phoenix. Regular season coach who wins regular season games.

He's going to be the only coach to ever have two multiple MVP winners on his roster and never even reach the finals.
