Fans and analysts alike are buzzing about a potential Western Conference Finals showdown between the Rockets and Warriors.<\/p>\n

Hold on a second, though.<\/p>\n

Warriors owner Joe Lacob seems to feel that the Rockets could be eliminated before the Warriors could potentially face them in the finals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen. Houston could get upset if you\u2019re so worried about Houston,\u201d Lacob said earlier this week during an interview with San Francisco\u2019s 95.7 The Game,\u00a0according to Logan Murdock of\u00a0The Mercury News<\/a>. \u201cThey are the best right now, there\u2019s no doubt. They are the best team and we\u2019re looking up to them but that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019ll be there. We may be there and they might not be there. You have to prove it on the court.\u201d<\/p>\n

The interesting thing is that the Warriors, who will likely come away with 2- seed in the conference, have a better chance of being ousted. They’ll be without Stephen Curry in the first round, and his superstar buddies Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson are also banged up.<\/p>\n

If anything, it’s the Warriors who may not make the finals, at least looking at the playoff picture as it stands right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
