Series Thread: WCF: Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets

[Montalban]

No there is a need to watch


Actually he did make that prediction after the Warriors started off hot. Said they would drop back to reality and best case scenario was a 6th seed. He was doing his normal hating on the Warriors so I like to remind him of his prediction from time to time this season.

Stop lying. I predicted the Dubs would win the title.

How many games it takes to end the series

I can see that. It could be a short series if Houston doesn't win 1 of the first 2

Bk I think warriors fans are a little hard on you because all you did was talk down on them. And they did well, you still talked down on them

 

[Heatles84]

don't waste any more breath over it, man. let the games speak for themselves...

CL, I'm just glad that we're on the same Lebron-hating bandwagon now.

How are warriors fans assholes? lol

By exhibiting behavior that is consistent with assholishness would be my guess.

 

[Hambombs]

But in all seriousness should be a great series! Not taking anything for granted

Well, at least you are a Trojan fan, gotta give you that.

Hahaha, good point. I'm not one of those though

The SPURS have shown the blueprint how to beat Golden State more than any other team.

1. Have a dominant 2-way low post player be the focus on constant probing entry passes.
2. Make sure there are a ton of quality 3 point shooters if the defense sags on the big man.
3. If the guards play tight to deny the entry pass to Duncan, have a fast PG who can blow by them with a knack for getting to the rim.

Sound familiar? That is exactly what Houston is doing now with this current group around "GOOD DWIGHT".
Neither Memphis nor New Orleans has the personnel to use that formula.

But who the hell knows what Dwight shows up? That is the wildcard which makes this impossible to handicap.

Very confused here. I was quoting bksballer and talking about his prediction. You answered say "no". I then told you "he" made that prediction. So unless you are bsballer I'm not talking about you.

 

[Pattersonca65]

Yep, I'm not either cause I don't want to jinx it. Ultimately all the matters is what the players think cause we aren't playing. I hope they bring it every night.

Uh oh, looks like Montalban and bks got some 'splainin' to do.

Problem with that scenario is Howard is no Duncan on offense, not even close. They don't have to focus on Howard, they need to stop Hardin and as long as the refs don't coddle him and give him every call, the Dubs will be fine.
Again though, you are focusing on the wrong team. Its not what Golden State needs to do to stop Houston, its what Houston has to do to stop Golden State. I don't think they can do it.

How so?

Yup, can't wait for the series to start. Need to see what Kerr has drawn up for the defense. I like iggy and klay on harden

Thought you were saying I predicted the Dubs would only be the 6th seed. I didn't know you were talking about that other cat.

With a little dose of Livingston thrown in. He's gonna get tired of playing against tall guards with long arms. Hardin will have to work on defense as well. He doesn't like that.

 

[trojanfan12]

How so?

[Hambombs]

Will be interesting to see if the rockets will hack a bogut? If so I expect Kerr to hack a Dwight also
