Warriors have 6 NBA caliber players left on their roster ... but they can go back to lauching lots of 3s without KD on the floor . Definetely Bucks year though . Best team and nobody is averaging more than 32 minutes in the playoffs .
So much this. But gs is cooked. What happens when you play with fire. Probably their unnecessarily long first round contributed to the injury. Meanwhile, harden's ligaments remain intact.
Last year HOU lost Flopter for the last 2 games of the series and lost in 7. This year GSW loses Durant... That being said, Fear The Deer Baby!!!
90% of Laker fans on a different Laker forum are rooting for the Rockets to win. What a bunch of idiots lol
Htown has ruined bball, but I can see why Laker fans don't want the dubs to win. The cap spike cheatin a** dubs are in line for a 3peat. I certainly hope they ain't gifted one. f*** the cbags, the dubs, the Rox, Philly and the cLips. I'm hoping for a Portland-Bucks Final personally where Giannis takes it and Magic's (Capt) obvious tamper fulfills the prophecy.
why do people hate GS? because they win a lot? only draymond is a dislikeable player, imo. i guess durant after his strange heel-turn, but still..this is a team that basically built itself with low-ish draft picks, established a winning culture, won a title, then got lucky that the players association rejected cap smoothing. not their fault they won a title AND had max room. it's the league's fault. on the other hand, you have houston, whose gm, coach, and two star players willingly make a mockery of the game. if you like basketball, i can't see how you can like houston. i feel for their fans, as they must have to cleanse themselves thoroughly each day when they're finished muttering and rocking in the corner about efficiency justifying the means and such. ick ick ick. if they're gifted a title, it might change the entire game for the worse. anyway, go bucks! good luck getting calls against houston in the finals...state farm rules and all.
Durant is done for Golden State- Houston series Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant has a mild right calf strain, will not travel with the team to Houston and will be re-evaluated next week, the team announced Thursday Jerebko to the rescue
Man, this is terrible news. This feels very much like last season but reversed. Rockets had the Warriors beat, go up 3-2, but they lost Chris Paul. This year the Warriors have the Rockets beat and they lose Durant while going up 3-2. I think the Rockets take the next 2, Durant saved the Warriors last year, Curry and Klay haven’t had to be counted on in the biggest moments for years now, plus they’re kinda limping themselves, trying for a 5th straight finals, eventually something has to give.
Curry and Klay are absolutely going to choke this series away. They’ve defended Curry pretty well and now they can double down on him with KD out. They better hope Klay catches fire and goes for 60 points on 25 shots and two dribbles. Who else is going to create some offense out there? Their bench and role players aren’t what they used to be.
Someone on that GSW team can catch fire. Probably Klay. He goes for one of those 50-pt games and they win. In any case, I would not mind to see Denver or Portland playing the Bucks in the finals. Bucks win, of course. They have been playing the best basketball so far.
Game 7 for Sixers, hopefully they show up and win so we can rekindle any little chance we have for Kahwi
I’d like 2 small market teams in the Finals, terrible ratings, and a massive change to revenue sharing that gives some of these teams the misguided notion that they know how to run a franchise. I’m ok with having a stacked deck with economic advantages personally.
It's not about choking for the dubs at this point. They lost their best player. You'd expect them to lose the series. If anything, it would be a massive choke for Houston to lose.
Is Harden that much better than Curry? Is Flopter head and shoulders above Klay? What about Capela and Green? Gordon and Iggy? This series should be over by now, now it's about even. Let's see some "balls"...
he's better than curry has been this year and especially this series. in the past, curry was better, imo. klay is better than paul but can't create his own shot. the real difference to me is that eric gordon has basically outplayed steph and klay for large parts of the series. he's quietly been a VERY important player for houston all year, and he's currently bringing a lot more to the table than the warriors' secondary players. i simply don't trust looney, cook, jerebko, or mckinnie to do much at all. bogut's been done for two years. livingston looks about done, and iggy's a step slower than he used to be. down durant (and cousins), gs doesn't have the horses, imo. could they get hot and win one of the next two? sure, definitely. it's just not where i'd place my cash. REALLY hope i'm wrong, though.
Man, Curry straight up sucks at D and picked up two quick fouls. He basically took himself out of the game. Dummy. Edit: Is his finger bothering him or is he just not up for big moments? Bad shots and dumb passes and he’s still scoreless. So many blown layups and he’s playing scared. It’s why I love Durant. I know many of you didn’t like him going to GS but man that guy is alpha like Kobe. Klay has stepped up but Curry is choking bad right now.
