Series Thread: WCF: Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets

[Pattersonca65]

So was I. He missed two layups and fumbled a breakaway on three consecutive plays in the first half. I was telling my wife "These games are not fun for me, they are too stressful". had to switch to the Giants game for a while.

My son tried changing to the Giants game but I chewed his ass out I was so pissed off. Klay has had those moments

If Dwight Howard is really hurt, it might be over quick.

He is the best player on the planet the last 3 weeks.

I was looking forward to seeing if he kept it up....or folded into a shell.

I got ripped off a bit. Howard gave me an incomplete grade.

I wasn't expecting him to get injured by his own teammate on a flukish play.

He has a bruised knee? Those are tricky. I've had bruised knees before and they can linger depending on how bad they are.

Worst part was he was pouting on the sideline.. Kept shaking his head instead of cheering on his teammates. Can't believe a guy with that much talent is that much a baby.

Don't think that was pouting.....that was more a player frustrated that he could not be out there to help his teammates.

You would be frustrated also especially when you consider the amount of time he missed earlier this season with another knee injury

They aren't that popular outside of California.

They aren't that popular INSIDE of California.

Im kinda upset I didnt get to watch this game. Im looking at the box score, highlights and such and it almost looks like Houston punched them in the mouth and the Warriors just sorta went 'oh, we have a lineup for that, too' and adjusted. I'm not sure Howard is the big player in this series even if he was healthy. This might turn into a crazy small ball series and the Warriors are probably winning that.

Early on the I thought the Warriors looked rusty from their extended time off. They had to overcome a sixteen point deficit and did. I hope they start of better Thursday.

Lets not get crazy about legacy talk. The Warriors would have to dominate from here on out just to be compared to last year's Spurs (and lets not bring up the regular season like it matters)

Frustration is absolutely understandable. When you let it affect your actions, such as sitting stoned faced on the bench shaking your head as your team is in a close playoff game it is no longer frustration it is pouting. I was taught at a young age that you don't pout you deal with the situation the best you can and move on. So if you are wondering what I would've done it's been on that bench cheering and giving tips to jones or whoever was playing the 5 spot for me(can't remember the 21 year old rookies name). He has a history of pouting when things don't go his way, LA, Orlando ect.

I guarantee you out here in Warriorland we are not talking legacy. We just want to get our first in 40 years

I think this proves our point that the Rockets aren't the same team from January and won't be a pushover like some on here predicted. The Warriors were down by 16 at some point.

That doesn't prove a point one way or another. I'm not saying the Warriors will roll over the Rockets, but by your logic the Pelicans put up a good fight bc they were up by 16 in the 4th quarter... Which the Warriors also won.

The Pelicans were up by 16 at home. This is game 1 of the conference finals at home where the Warriors haven't been in decades. This was a close game the whole way through. You predicted that the Warriors were going to run the Rockets up and down the floor. That clearly wasn't the case. Depending on Dwight's health, this series likely goes 6.

Plz show me where I made that prediction?

Dubs didn't come ready to play. Threw away the home court advantage. They'll have to figure out a way to get one in Houston now.

Nailed it again!

You are very astute.

 

[msgkings322]

Man, Thompson is single-handedly blowing this game.

More quality analysis

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

No, nobody talks about them around here because nobody cares about them. If everyone is jealous of the Warriors, how can they be Americas team? I feel like you just started watching ball this year...

Just guys like you are jealous. the rest of the country loves the Warriors.

okay, I'm now done feeding the troll. Carry on with your trolling.

 

[Hambombs]

Harden showing why he is the best player in the NBA. carrying houston with no howard.

[Hambombs]

im starting to think Cavs are going to win it. i dont see how any of these teams will stop LBJ and Irving. both these teams struggle on D.

Hahahaha now that's funny
