Whenever the Warriors win, they're the most AWESOME team ever!!!! When the other team wins its NOT for anything they did but rather its because of something the Warriors didnt do because of....NAME YOUR STEPH / OR OTHER EXCUSE. :rolleyes:

Yep.

Can't believe KCC can even show his face in here.

In other news, I'd love for Paul and Harden to get a ring. They both deserve it.

Bring back Clutch City!

He had a bad game. It happens. LeBron went 5-16 fg. 0-7 3-pt, for 15-pts in Game 1 against the Celtics. So spare me the 'LeBron never has a bad game narrrative.'

Durant averaged 35 ppg 8 rpg and 5.4 apg against the Cavs in last years finals while LeBron averaged 33.6 ppg, 12.0 rpg, 10.0 apg. LeBron is better but there isn't a huge difference and like you said yourself Durant is the better scorer. He shit on LeBron last season in the finals. Made him fall one play. LMAO.

If LeBron was that much better he would have dominated Durant. He didn't... Getting rebounds and assists is nice but scoring and defense is what wins in the NBA. LeBron failed in both categories against Durant.

Exactly. What did he say a few pages before? Rockets will win another gm 'if the Warriors let them.' He knows a lot about basketball but he is a LeBronie. All he posts about 90% of the time is bragging about how good LeBron is instead of being objective and talking about the sport.

Yep... The Rockets are breaking KCC and Nick Wright's hearts and destroying their Lebron arguements before our eyes.

Houston beating the gayest team on earth in one road playoff game is now all about Lebron

LMAO

I don't think Jordan EVER reached that level of conversation in the NBA, and he was the most widely talked about player for his entire career.

Al Bundy 05-23-2018 06:24 AM

Rockets played really good defense, however the Warriors were really sloppy and made some unforced errors that they don't usually make.

Kinda like the Rockets did in game 1, with missing so many layups and committing so many unforced errors?... Yet, then it was all about the Warriors GREAT ROAD WIN and how GREAT and AWESOME the BEST TEAM THAT EVER WAS IS SO AWESOME! However, when the other team wins, it's all about how bad the Warriors played and not about what the other team did that caused them to play poorly. You acknowledge that the Rockets played good defense, then discredit it with the unforced errors card. I'm not singling you out, that's what everyone does - especially the media. :rolleyes:


IMO, what I have gathered in this series thus far is the Rockets no doubt CAN play with the Warriors, and may just be the better conditioned team. They made the Warriors tired last night - the unforced errors and the blown leads are a direct result of that. Game 2 they ran them out of the building. (Then afterwards, as expected, the Steph Curry excuses were abundant). The pattern is, with plenty of rest, the Warriors win - when it's only a two day period in between games, the Rockets win. We'll see if that holds Thursday.

I think its awesome that the Rockets still have a shot here. They're playing for a lot more than just the obvious in this series.

The cavs are the 3rd or 4th best team left in the playoffs.

LOL Nick Wright is always good for a laugh. He has way too much emotional affection for Lebron to talk NBA rationally at times. Its either Lebron is God in the flesh or I dont want to talk NBA right now NBA is dead.

I caught a bit of him on Lazlows show last week after the Warriors were up 1-0, and Cavs down 0-2 a depressed Nick Wright was proclaiming the Warriors/Rockets series over and expanded that to the NBA being over for the foreseeable future. :deevee:

i have a feeling a super team will form somewhere this summer thats even more stacked than the Warriors and gives them a true run for their money. Youll see a new era of crybaby Warriors when that happens cause there will be a team assembled thats wayyyyyy better.

The contracts for some of these guys are aligned this way for a reason, something has to happen. Youll see a ton of trades too, vets forcing their way to play with buddies.

They were the 2nd or 3rd best team in the playoffs in 2016 and guess what happened.

I haven't even started watching this game but the score doesn't surprise me. This series is getting decided in game 7 in Boston.
