[ESPN]Bontemps: ...GS beats Houston in five games in the WCsF

I mean....if they play like they did in the last two games....

 

Doubt the Warriors can play defense like the Jazz. They aren't that good at it anymore.

 

I was thinking to myself last night - the Warriors do not have a defense like this. We might be playing the best defense in the league.

I didn't see good old Tim writing this after game 2... how weird?

 

I'll start thinking about the Warriors etc once we eliminate Utah...

 

This.

Get past Utah first.

 

If you must, can you at least only do it if we win the series? Trolling him just because we were able to win one or two more games than he gave us is kind of ... lame. Not a good look for us. I mean, he is calling it his "bold" prediction, which means he recognizes that there's a good chance he's wrong.

 

Vegas agrees.


dice rolling game

 

They don't need good defense. They just need to cheat good enough not to get called on their moving screens and holding.

 

worriers have foster

plus game 7 callahan

 

The biggest difference I the warriors don't have goober. Hardens floater we will be back as a full unstoppable force.

 

Don't get me wrong, Warriors are a very different beast. But still a beast.

 

Rachel Nichols with absolute glee about the Rockets missed threes in Gm 4.

I think being Anti-Rockets and Harden is part of the application criteria.

 

I hope he isn't right, but as a Rockets fan you have to admit this is your dark secret fear...right? Taking GSW to 7 last year, winning season series 3-1, playing as a top team since the allstar break, GSW losing a starting player and dropping a a game to clips.... all signs pointing to having a legitimate shot of beating GSW...only to have the rug pulled out from under you, they were playing possum the whole time, and easily still beat Houston. That, or losing the current Jazz series would really put a damper on this season. Those are the darkest timelines.

 

Don't hate on Rachel, she's just reading a script her unfunny writers have put together.

 

Zach Lowe said she writes all her stuff.

 

If they play that bull crap baskertball again like they played yesterday, then that's a sweep for the warriors.

One of the worst games I've ever watched as a rockets fan, and there have been many suckfests.

We play to our potential, we beat the warriors in 6 or 7 O. T.

 

Oh. That's unfortunate.

 

You're right, but the Warriors are also up 3-1 against a lesser team.

The Clippers don't even have anything close to an all-star right now while the Jazz have one of the best centers in the NBA and a promising young guard.

The Clippers just are a bunch of spunky vets and Trez and the Warriors still managed to lose a game to them (At home too...).

I don't think much can be taken from either series. Warriors took a nap against the Clippers (which they won't do against Houston) and the Rockets took a nap against Utah (which they won't do against GSW) so really all these series were about is who could get rest before the matchup.

 

Warriors won last year with help from officiating... however this year's Rockets team is not as good as last year.
