2018 NBA Playoffs

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

? No you stop. In the series against us if I had a choice I’d rather have no iggy. Lebron will get Durant in foul trouble.

The issues are curry and klay.

With iggy and those 2, would destroy us and pick us apart on our weaknesses. Especially with curry heaving makeable heartbreaking 3s.

Stats also show he’s crazy good with Durant on the bench. So no, you stop.

Lol come on now.. if we had a choice to play a Durant less warriors or a iggy less warriors.. I would have a lot of concern to whoever would choose the iggy less warriors.. not even a questionable decision..
 
I would pay so much fucking money for a reporter to ask KD if he plans to go to Houston next year if Golden State loses this series. Seriously, I am not rich but I think I might pay $1,000 to a reporter just to ask this question in a totally serious manner.

Told ya.




Golden State is in trouble. Houston believes now.

Give credit when credit is due, Richie talked up these Rockets all year to do this very thing.

They delivered one of the best basketball games since 2016 finals. And I'm talking everything was at stake, it felt like a game 7 because you know damn well it was over if Houston didn't win.

Not just Houston fans, but basketball fans won tonight.
 
I should be blocked from this topic, after my melodramatic over reaction to the Rockets losing game 1.

Props @Rich
 
I can't stop watching the final play when Curry had a wide open shot.

Klay had such an obvious moving screen extending his arms on Harden allowing Curry to have the cleanest look of all clean looks. If he made that shot after the cheating moving screen, shame on the NBA. But thankfully it was a clank.

I've said it before, but the reason I'd rather play Houston is simple, LBJ doesn't have to guard KD. That will be huge to play against a team where LBJ can conserve a little energy on defense and not have to do literally everything.

Houston has some great role players, but I feel like they are more one dimensional than GSW's. You know their roles and they can't get quite as creative as GSW's lineups. But if Cp3 gets to the Finals, I think he will really ball out on another level. He has been waiting to get to the Finals for so long.

Overall, we just match up so much better with Houston even if we are still underdogs talent wise.

Plus we know cp3’s injury history

Not even that, in my opinion LeBron could put shackles on CP3 because he's not your ordinary freakish athlete. CP3 also historically struggles vs bigger defenders.

It's definitely a better matchup. LeBron could rest on defense for 3 quarters then clamp Cp3 in the 4th. Just gotta keep up with the 3 point shooting and limiting 2nd chances but that's a tough task with Capela.
 
Iguodala is gimpy. They're talking like it'll be a struggle to have him ready by next game.

Either way, assuming the Cavs get out of this round, they need to be ready and willing to deploy the Hack-A strategy on either Capela or Iguodala. You cant let these teams turn a close game into a blow out on 4 straight 3 pointers. Gotta ve willing to foul and break up the flow. We can't outgun either of them.
 
Warriors pretty much played 8 guys

And the rockets only played 7 games last night

I thought playoffs were about depth

Nope, you play who you trust
 
Rewatching this 4th, Ariza was an animal.

I'd give essentially anything to have all of Houston's role players. Tucker, Ariza, Gordon.

You swap those 3 out for JR Smith, Tristan Thompson and Kyle Korver and we probably sweep the Celtics.
