The Rockets actually have a super shallow team for a squad that built themselves to beat Golden State. I get you can't have a two-headed monster like CP3/Harden + Anderson's shitty contract and have a stacked bench too, but here's the playable guys they have versus Golden State:
Harden, CP3 (hurt), Capela, Ariza, Tucker, Green, Gordon
Rest of their team:
- Mbah a Moute: not unplayable, but he can't score a lick
- Anderson: trash and overpaid
- Nene: too old and slow
- Joe John$on: washed bum
- Aaron Jackson: trash
- Tarik Black: comparable to Perkins
One injury to a rotation guy and they were screwed. Unfortunately for them it happened to their second best player.
