Rockets' Fertitta: 'I’m Not Worried About Anybody in the West'

Despite the Rockets entering Tuesday night's action seven games behind the conference's No. 1 seed, owner Tilman Fertitta says he's not concerned about the Lakers, Clippers or any other possible playoff foes.

"We’re really good,” Fertitta told The Statesman. “We’ve lost a few games on last-second 3-pointers when we were ahead by two or we would be right there as the second seed now. But I’m not worried about anybody in the West.”

“...None of us fear L.A. or the Clippers or Denver like we feared Golden State. It’s not like how we were scared of them.
