    Seriously right, 4 teams left and I hate all of them but the Warriors.

    Two knuckleheads I can't stand. Mike Antoni and James Haren. Of course he's praising his offensive skills, offense is all either one cares about.

    This is true, what does MDA always say in Game of Zones

    "Half the defense, double the offense"

    Snippet of that quote:

    I'm sick of Antoni players and their inflated stats winning MVPs. Defense still matters.

    Oh **** you Mike. You know that's a freaking lie. Nowhere near the overall skills of many other players. Moron. I would love GS to sweep and humiliate him and a-holes on his team save Ariza who of course we like. Harden and Paul though. I hope they ... they .... take a long walk off a short pier. Yeah!

    I forgot Trevor Ariza has two championship rings. I'll never forget his in bound defensive play in 2009 title run. If I was threatened against my will and I had no choice to support someone on Houston, it would be him.

    Ariza only has one ring, but damn was it an important one.

    As for tonight’s game, way too close for my taste, thank goodness for Durant and Klay for most of it, because Curry didn’t have a big scoring night. So glad the warriors got this one though, 3 more to go and the biggest threat to NBA basketball as we know it is downed. Seriously, as much as I hate the C Bags, I think I’m more afraid of the larger picture of what will happen if Harden, CP3, and ‘Antoni win. Whiner, flopper-ball gets rewarded with a title, a coach that doesn’t even practice defense wins it all? It’s genuinely frightening, the game could be irreparably damaged. Kids coming up right now imitating Curry by pulling up from 35 feet to shoot 3s is bad enough, but imagine kids seeing Harden and CP3 win a title and imitating that “play for the foul”, flop and whine until you get your way style of ball. Scary as hell. Go Warriors.

    Oh right he wasn't on our 2010 team was he? Also agree with everything you said.

    Nope, he was free agent, his agent wanted more money, so we signed Artest instead, who was eager to come here and take less money to win the title. I loved Ariza, I’d STILL take him back today, but it’s hard to say if we beat Boston without Artest’s toughness and attitude, he really bugged Wheelchair.

    Game 1

    Rockets: 46FG%

    Warriors: 53FG%

    I'm not surprised. The Warriors have had better years defensively, but they know when to turn it on at the right time.

    I genuinely was disgusted and shouting at my tv to see Chris Paul of all people tell Durant to "shut up and play". He then proceeded to throw a dirty elbow into Durant and ran off with no whistle for some reason.

    For that little piece of **** to have the audacity to tell anyone, especially Durant, to "shut up and play" is astounding and makes my blood positively boil. That's bull****, it's offensive, and this guy doesn't deserve the respect heaped on him. He's a dirty piece of whiny trash and rarely do I root for an injury, but this guy needs his nose broken in a big way.

    Dray should have channeled his inner Artest.

    Yeah.. That was crazy how that was not at least a flagrant.. One of the more intentional elbows I've seen thrown.

    Dirty piece of crap. That will get reviewed, be surprised if he doesn’t get a fine. Dude has serious rage issues, lashes out like one might expect from a child on the playground.

    F the Rockets. They may be the most unlikeable bunch in a long, long time. I can't stand these chumps. I'm hoping the Warriors sweep them just so I don't have to look at their fugly, irritating mugs any more. I do love to see Mike Antoni lose though. It's one of my favorite things to watch his face as he loses.

    Draymond was complaining way too much early in this game. That was obviously a foul Draymond, what are you b****ing for?

    If Harden had tried that with me, I would have .muscled through him to get to the out of bounds line, pushed him into the cameras with my momentum, and took the ball out quickly so we had an advantage while he pulled himself out. :D
