Series Thread: WCF: Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets

[Hambombs]

different team and dwight missed 2 of the games. Regular season means nothing when a team dealt with injuries in the regular season

Even when he played they still got there asses handed to them

 

[Hambombs]

depends which dwight shows up

Not really

 

[bksballer89]

Last time they played was January 21st.

Throw the regular season out the window

Different team. This isn't the same Houston team from mid January.

 

[bksballer89]

Not really

Dwight played 2 games this year vs GSW. He destroyed Bogut in one game and struggled in another so cut the bullshit about Dwight always struggling with Bogut

LOL! Its the same old Rockets. Howard disappearing for long stretches and Hardin hogging the ball. The Clippers should have easily beat them but they are a choking, classless organization who are more worried that their owner doesn't care for black people than they are about playing basketball. In short, the Rockets were lucky and will get runover by the Warriors.

Here is exactly why regular season meetings should be thrown out the window for this series

In the first meeting of the year, Houston had a starting lineup of Canaan, Harden, Ariza, Black, & Papanikolaou. Howard and Jones did not play. Smith and Brewer were not on the team as of yet.

In the second meeting of the year it was the same story as the first. Howard and Jones did not play while Smith and Brewer did not join the Rockets yet.

In the third and fourth meetings of the year, Jones did not play.

 

[Montalban]

Houston doesn't play enough defense to compete with the Warriors.

There were 2 teams who I thought could beat GSW in a series out west. Both were eliminated before getting to play GSW

There it is.

Lucky? How? They clearly outplayed the Clippers in games 5 and 7 while they had an amazing comeback in the 4th quarter of game 6.

I'm sure you were not calling the Warriors lucky after a very similar comeback game 3 vs the Pelicans in round 1

I swear that hairy POS better not flail his way to getting Klay in foul trouble.

But I'm definitely looking forward to Klay vs Harden and Bogut vs Howard.

Ariza might spend most of his time defending Thompson.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Lol! The Rockets are oh and 4 against the Warriors this year

Regular season? Totally different when they are 4 random games and not in a playoff series.

Plus, DH missed 2 of those games.

Terrance Jones missed all 4.

Brewer and Josh were not on the team for 2 of the 4.

And oh yeah these games were played in November, December, and January. We did not even play 45 games yet at the time of the last meeting on January 21st

I will agree with you there. The Warriors don't get credit for what happened in the regular season. It doesn't matter to me what happened in the regular season. They have to continue to play well to beat Houston. We as Warrior fans should take nothing for granted.

 

[Montalban]

If we go on the assumption that the Warriors will win game 1, which they will, then the Rockets will have to win 4 of 6 and that ain't gonna happen. The Rockets will have a let down and are not well rested enough to play with the Dubs on Tuesday.

Why would we assume Warriors win game 1?

You're right they will really miss Beverley in this series

I'm sorry but you're a fucking idiot if you think any team in the league on May 19th is the same team as they were on January 21st.

Remember when you said the Warriors wouldn't get above the 6th seed in the west? Guess you are not tired of them proving your "knowledge" of the NBA.

So no need to watch game 1? 100% chance they win game 1? Why waste 2.5 hours right?

Can't wait to see Cleveland whoop that ass in the finals so all you new Warriors fans could go back into your little hole

You do realize that Donald Sterling already sold the team to Steve Balmer? Way to stay updated on current affairs.
