1) Houston Rockets vs. 2) Golden State Warriors

You are obsessed, man.

if you say so...

g'niiiiight...

 

[LAD]

So you think....but #s don't lie.

I feel like this series really makes you question whether or not the Warriors are really the best team of all time.

They are the most talented team of all-time, just not mentally. This is the second time we saw a team get in their head. Lets see if they can finish them like the Cavs did

 

[Black Adam]

You know how many open shots Houston missed? We are talking wide open. See I can make excusss too

lmfao so you don't think 17 TO's is a bit much for a championship calibre basketball team...?

hardly an excuse...

it's a REASON...

Cavs got smoked 4 games to one...

better HOPE Houston does better than the Cavs did...

Last time we had this kinda anxiety was against OKC when they still had KD. What happened?? Oh yea GS won 3 straight. Lol

 

[Kold]

So from the start, I have never seen someone THAT open, with the game on the line, with NO ONE coming when Cook had the ball...but as Tlance mentioned, Nick Young or livingston should of been in the game. Young, DEFINITELY after that because PJ Tucker paid no attention to Cook as he stopped Curry's shot.
I have no probs with green having the ball there because it looked like he was about to move the ball again.
As for the series, I'm gonna guess that this is the Warriors "kings" series. The Lakers got in that game 7 in 02, and the kings just didn't know how to close the deal in that situation(even with home court), and the Lakers squeaked out in game 7.

wow...

so we have the Dubs on the brink, and the LeClowns on the brink...

DEFINITELY a different type of playoffs this season...

Chuck just pointed out a week ago the playoffs sucked, hardly any drama especially the conference finals (both). Now they are exciting, probably both going to 7.

 

[msgkings322]

They will still win this year. But damn they are making it difficult as hell.

I think we have to say if the Ws lose this series it's hard to call the the all time best team. And I'm a fan.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Can someone explain why Cook shot a 3 on a 5 on 4 break?

In hindsight there was about 41 seconds left on the game clock...so the only rationale I can come up with is, they were down by 2 and probably instructed to go with a 2 for 1 and take a quick open shot if it was there...(if he makes it, they take a 1 pt lead..and still get the ball back with ample time left regardless if the rockets scored or not) It just didn't go their way. In fact the strategy backfired badly.

But yeah...it would have been nice, and much better percentage wise if Steph, Klay or even KD had taken that 3 point shot instead of Cook.

It is what it is...water under the bridge...yada yada.

Now we get to see how hungry & resilient the dubs really want to be.....or not.

 

[handicappers]

Stop it. Anybody with a brain understands that. Get yo $hit together if you gonna talk $hit here.

STFU bossy pants.

 

[msgkings322]

if you say so...

g'niiiiight...

Your posts say so, I'm just hearing them. Have a LeBronderful sleep!

 

[msgkings322]

Now we get to see how hungry & resilient the dubs really want to be.....or not.

Warriors and their fans have been pretty lucky to have very little drama in the last 3 years. Even the weird game 7 loss in the Finals had a smooth sailing year and playoffs before it. This is their first real test in a lot of ways. Let's see what happens...

 

[LAD]

STFU bossy pants.

That's MRS Bossy pants to you!

 

[handicappers]

yes ma'am

There's some truth to this

 

[msgkings322]

I mean, as fans we'd be pretty lucky if both conference finals go 7. And it'd be fun for a 7 game Finals again too.

So you're saying the Refs will play a big part in game 6?

"take it... to the limit...one more time"

Probably. The league wants 7 games.
