As the NBA season begins, it looks like the Golden State Warriors haven’t missed a beat. Rockets GM Daryl Morey knows his team has their work cut out for them, and it sounds like he’s trying to get the Warriors to soften whatever blows may come the Rockets way.
“The Golden State Warriors were not lucky to win the title. They were the best team last year. They are the best team this year so far,” Morey told Gottlieb. “They’re just an unbelievable team. Obviously you can always point to any champion and say ‘maybe this could have gone different or that could have gone different,’ and you can erase every championship.
“This Golden State team is special. I think it’s going to go down as one of the all-time teams. We’re hoping to take them down this year but you gotta look: they beat us nine out of 10. They’ve got our number. We’ve got to figure out how to beat them.”
The Rockets didn’t start the season well but seem to have gained some steam lately. We shall see what unfolds as these two teams square off.
