Is he not their center?? Is he not 7 foot?

He said a 7 foot guard.

 

[handicappers]

You are just stupid. Houston does not have the better team.

Great comeback.

 

[Mecca]

Swaggy 3 coming back in.

 

[msgkings322]

Maybe yes or maybe no.

Are you sure?

 

[DorianRo]

Holy shit. How can anyone play with this bearded brainless one? Its like he doesn't care he has teammates.. Dribble for 20 seconds, backstep 3 or try for a layup. Everyone else stands around with their thumb up their arses

 

[msgkings322]

Patented 3rd quarter beatdown?

As in position? Ok my bad...

 

[LAD]

You are one classy lady. Who needs notes?

I know...again.

 

[DorianRo]

Game over. Series over. Rockets are DUDS. One man ball-hog show. Harden is a CANCER.

 

[handicappers]

derp

 

[LAD]

Reading is not your forte I see.

Ehhh, minor oversight, sue me

@tlance

I just don't think you can get away with riding the Hampton 5 all series for 40 minutes a game. The Rockets have too many shooters and guys they can sub in on the wings who can do similar things that the Warriors are going to need contributions from others. The biggest reason I want Looney out there on the floor to guard Capela is because of his O-rebounding.

If you have Looney out there who can defend in space against a guard, you give yourself two legitimate bigs in Durant and KD who can weakside help against Capela on the roll. By doing so you at least put a rebounder in front of Capela to compete on boards. Then you have Looney who can recover in space and close out. Looney has no value when the Rockets go super small. He provides no advantage because he can't really score.

They don't need to.

They need them to start and finish games when Harden and CP3 are together. That is about 20-24 minutes a night.

 

[msgkings322]

Didn't end up being a beatdown but a nice quarter

 

[LAD]

Chuck said it in the pre game show. Houston hasn't really elevated their game. GS had ramped up defense all post season. That's going to be the difference.

 

[tlance]

You are just stupid. Houston does not have the better team.

Yeah.

I can't even fathom how anybody would think Houston is better than GS.

Durant is the best player on the court. We can be generous and say that Curry and CP3 cancel each other out and that Dray and Capella do the same.

Warriors have more star power, better depth and they play better together.
