1) Houston Rockets vs. 2) Golden State Warriors

[LAD]

that i don't think the Cavs could beat the Rockets either...

course they'd have to beat the Dubs 2 more times obviously...

Yea I realized after I read it again lol

 

[calsnowskier]

When you have 2 former MVPS, and 4 all-NBA first team players all in their primes (at home), you cannot blame the roleplayers.

Curry, Thompson, and Durant were 23 for 63 with 5 combined assists

If you are going to hog the ball + take a zillion shots + never pass the ball..........you better make most of the shots.

I agree you cant blame the role players but holy shit man--- Shaun Livingston, Quinn Cook, Kevin Looney, Jordan Bell, and Nick Young were the guys that played minutes outside of their Big 4. That level of feculence is hard to believe.

Thats like the Sacramento Kings Summer League B Team.


like i said i take back what i said about Iguadala's corpse- they need to reanimate him and get him going Westworld style.

it makes the deep end of the Cavs bench look like the 87 Celtics.

I was clowning HIM for that shit. Damn where's everybody's sense of humor?

 

[Robotech]

Too much one on one by the Warriors. Got out of their game.

They were forced out of it by stellar Rockets D. The Rox were going nuts shutting down passing lanes. Kerr needs to adjust for game 5.

 

[DorianRo]

yah they will.

LeBron will find a way to beat the Rockets. We match up against them infinitely better than the Warriors.

Thats gonna be a big IF there. I mean they haven't even had a face a team even close to the ability of the Rockets and they have struggled with 2 questionable teams already.

Warriors will probably still win though. Not having Iggy hurts if your only 2nd option is Looney Tunes. Who looks completely LOST out there

So no one is going to give Houston any credit for that?

LOL the same Rockets you were calling shitty during every other game? You make Skip Bayless look like John Wooden. You're like a squirrel with ADHD. You're the king clown of #hottakes

The East is shittier than the Rockets I would say.

Houston played despert and knew they had to win. That was the toughest game we've had all season.

GS is a great team and probably still have the advantage. Going back to our house is no lock. We must win game 5 cause no way we pulling another game out in GS. We must win game 5 and 7 to take this series.

Quick question. What is despert????

 

[gordontrue]

We are now guaranteed a game every night through Saturday.

Finals start next Thursday, so nice to know that the break after these series won't be too long, especially if one or both go 7.

Houston

 

[LAD]

Houston

I asked WHAT not WHO

 

[gordontrue]

Houston is despert? What is that?

 

[LAD]

Ok then...

 

[gordontrue]

Interestingly, I think both teams will actually be under considerable pressure to win game 5.

If I was the warriors I would be concerned that the Rockets seem due still for an offensive explosion.

If I was the Rockets I would be concerned that I'm playing the warriors.

Aside from only taking 14 FT's (compared to 27 for Hou.)...GS turned the ball over 16 times which is too many against a top team, even if the game is on your home floor.
Plus, as some others have pointed out, there was too much iso ball by the dubs that led to some head scratching decisions and poor shot selections.

One thing though...the Dubs are usually pretty good at making necessary adjustments after a tough loss.
