Daryl Morey admitted the Houston Rockets have a singular focus and that's on the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors have reached The Finals in each of the past three seasons and eliminated the Rockets from the playoffs in 2015 and 2016.

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

"Last year, the Spurs knocked us off, so we're very worried about the Spurs. They're always one step ahead of every organization and guard us better than anyone. But we calculated it -- it's like 90 percent if we're gonna win a title, we've gotta obviously beat the Warriors at some point. So we're extremely focused on that. A lot of our signings and what we do during the year is based on that."

The Rockets have improved their defense over the offseason and rank seventh in efficiency on that side of the floor.
