GM Daryl Morey: Rockets ‘obsessed' with beating Warriors

Share

The Rockets own the best record in the NBA at 25-5, a half game ahead of the Warriors through Thursday's slate of games. With the addition of Chris Paul, Houston has the best offensive rating in the game at 113.6, barely beating out the Warriors. 

General manager Daryl doesn't care about the numbers. All he cares about is beating the Warriors on the court. 

"It's the only thing we think about," Morey said Thursday on ESPN Radio's The Ryen Russillo Show. "I think I'm not supposed to say that, but we're basically obsessed with 'How do we beat the Warriors?'"

Sick of seeing his team fall short in the playoffs, Morey revamped his roster in the offseason with the headliner being Paul. In doing so, Morey was doing whatever he could to field a roster able to take down the champions. 

"If we're gonna win a title, we've gotta obviously beat the Warriors at some point," Morey said. "So we're extremely focused on that. A lot of our signings and what we do during the year is based on that."

On Opening Night, the Warriors blew a double-digit lead and lost to the Rockets, 122-121, after receiving their championship rings. Golden State eliminated Houston from the playoffs by beating them in the 2015 Western Conference Finals and in the first round the next year. 

"We'd love to get the 1-seed, we'd love to win more games than any in Rockets history, which is 58. Those are all nice things, but frankly, we spend most of our time just figuring out how we might just knock the Warriors out in seven games," Morey said. "Because we're pretty sure that's what's going to define our season."
