Raptors at 12-1 to win the Championship is a good play right now.

I have a feeling that the Warriors are not going to get past the Rockets with their injuries. Curry is a small player. Injuries piling up to a small player like him is problematic.

Raptors are coming out of the east and I can promise you that. Cavs are not that good this year and the Celtics are hurt.

Raptors are a nightmare matchup for the Rockets.

Might take you more seriously if your user name wasn't pumpkinhead......see that and think of the Horror movie with that monster in it.

Liiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeessssssss!

Sports is a microcosm of life.

Rising above adversity, succeeding and failing with grace, taking responsibility, getting a second chance, depending on others, doing the impossible, fighting for survival.


Jordan is as close to being a mythical creature, superhero as I've ever seen.

Maybe you can take it or leave it. But, I can't.....lol

They can win the title without Steph.

But they definitely won't be favored against the Rockets. Probably still would be against everybody else.

Can win, but probably not.

You are way underestimating the Rockets ability to give up in the playoffs.

This is not the same Rockets team. Everyone has a take on a team like this, until they don't. Warriors hadn't won a title in 40 years until they did.

Here's some real talk, from BEFORE Curry got hurt again:

Why Can’t The Rockets Be The Warriors?

You sound like Monty.

Be more optimistic bro. Nothing but good times for the Dubs. Besides, if they do lose one now, does it make it more likely they all resign?

I still think Klay and Dray are Dubs for life.

I'm just being realistic, and I'm not wrong. All the little injuries before last night didn't matter. This one does.

And there's almost zero chance both Klay and Dray stay for their whole careers. Maybe one of them, not both. KD may not either. Only Curry is probable.

Lmao at some warriors fans

So the Curry injury isn't a thing? Rockets were going to be a handful already, now Curry will be gimpy. CP3 gonna destroy him in the playoffs.

Obviously they don't knock them out until they do it. I'm just making a prediction, based on new information. I predicted the Rockets being really good this year back in December, now I'm predicting a gimpy Curry allows the Rockets to win a tough series in the WCF. I'm also predicting one of Klay or Dray leaves or is traded in the next 2 years. Hope I'm wrong on both of these.

It is definitely a thing.

But, they are good enough to beat Houston and any East team without him. It is no lock, but Warriors - Curry just levels the odds a bit more and maybe slightly tilts them in Houston's favor.

Man I wish I saw it your way. And now, the phrase that ends all debate: "I guess we'll see"
