I'm kinda torn on this GSW/Houston series.  I would LOVE if the Warriors don't follow through with a championship after setting the wins record.  But having said that, I consider the Rockets to maybe be the most unlikeable team in the NBA.

Having said all that, Houston doesn't have a prayer in this series.  4-0 sweep coming up.  But I like the idea of them roughing up Curry a little bit on the way.

I think it would be cool if Golden State wins the title cuz it would be cool to watch arguably the best team ever have the best season ever

And I can absolutely see that side of the argument.  I mean, I'm assuming they're winning the title anyway and I'm not completely upset by it.  But for me personally, I just think it would make for such an interesting story line and discussion if they don't end up winning.

+1.
I would be pretty "neutral" about Golden State winning the championship again this year. Not a team I hate, but I don't "like" them either. They have played well this year, so it would be fully deserved if they won.

As long as LeBron and Cleveland don't win I'm good ;D

Dwight Howard's reactions are so slow on some of those rebounds and loose balls.

Looks like he is drunk.

Can't defend Steph Curry with Jason Terry. Terrible matchup for Houston.

These playoffs are just a formality. Unless an injury happens, this Golden State team is going to run away with the title without much challenging. They might sweep the playoffs until the conference finals.

The Warriors are an exceptionally fun team to watch, and they set the wins record for a reason, they're insanely good.

However...they set more moving screens as a team that just simply aren't called more times than I think I've ever seen before.  It was a problem all regular season and you're already seeing it here in the playoffs.  Draymond Green especially sets SO many illegal screens that are never called.

It's almost like it's a "superstar call"...except it's applying to the whole team because they're so good.

Yeah, this is why Utah really blew it when they didn't make the playoffs.  Would've been a much more entertaining and competitive series.  That home loss they had to the Clippers when Doc sat every single important player outside of Jamal Crawford was a back breaker for them.

I agree with van Gundy. They're not officiating Harden like they did during the season. He'd foul out from offensive fouls every game if so.

  • That's turrible
I'm happy the East is a little more jumbled up this year than last year. The West is getting boring. It's clearly just the Warriors-Spurs and everyone else. I'll maybe watch OKC because of Durant, but other than that, the East will be more entertaining. Possible upsets galore.

The Warriors are up 30...and the best player in the league has logged under 20 minutes. That's terrifying.
Isaiah, you were lightning in a bottle.

Fair question though. How much do the Rockets give a crap right now?

That was an embarrassing no show by the Rockets. Gave up so easily.
