I do with the caveat that I need to see Chris Paul and Harden play together. Ultimately, the Rockets are going to have the same problem we had, which is that while their offense may be good enough to keep up, the Warriors will be much better defensively.
All stats suggest the Cavs had the best playoff offense of all time. IIRC it was three points per 100 possessions better than the next best. But the problem is the Warriors' defense was so good - and our's so bad - that they were able to out-talent the Cavs.
The Rockets will have similar problems; however, CP3, Ariza, Tucker, and Capella are all very good defenders. If they could add one more wing defender and one more big defender then I think Houston has a legitimate shot.
As of now, I still have the Warriors winning in 2018, they just have too much talent, but the Rockets have the best shot at knocking them off.
