Monday Musings: No, the Rockets aren’t better than the Warriors

The Golden State Warriors had another eventful week, beating the Cavaliers and Bulls but losing to the Rockets and snapping their 14-game road win streak.

Always entertaining, the NBA, isn’t it?

I couldn’t stop laughing when the news broke about Chris Paul leading the Rockets into the Clippers locker room through a secret tunnel to fight the Clippers. That was the same night the Golden State Warriors beat the Cavaliers on MLK Day in a Finals rematch.

Five days later, the Rockets — with Paul and James Harden not suspended for their roles in the altercation — defeated the Warriors at home to raise some eyebrows about whether the Warriors actually have a challenger in the West. Well, at least Clint Capela thinks so.

So we went from the Warriors beating the Cavs, meaning the Cavs are trash, to the Rockets beating the Warriors, which means the Rockets are beating the Warriors in the playoffs. Right?

Here are some things I liked and didn’t like.
