The Golden State Warriors needed six games to get past the LA Clippers in the first round while the Houston Rockets got past Utah Jazz in five games. It however easy to see that the Warriors were guilty of looking past the Clippers, and were extremely dominant when turning it up a notch.
I don't think they'll take the Rockets lightly, especially after almost losing to them in the Western Conference finals last season. If they decide to throw their weight around the Warriors are still the superior team IMO.

Sure, the Warriors are a bit banged up with backcourt duo Steph Curry and Klay Thompson questionable with ankle injuries, I don't see them risking giving up their homecourt advantage the crucial series opener.

"We'll see how they're doing (before the game)," Warriors coach Steve Kerr told the media. "I'm not going to make a definitive statement on whether they'll both play. Let's just call it questionable. And there's nothing implied there. They both came in today and got some work, and we'll see how they're doing." Thompson himself said that he expects to play "fully" in today's contest.
8* play on Golden State Warriors.
