12:30 tipoff

 

[KingSpeed]

Warriors are better without Durant. My goodness.

 

[DDolla]

Bye Bye Houston

 

[Titan]

Rockets gonna lose tonight

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

uh oh rockets might be done

 

[KingSpeed]

This is 73 win Warriors

 

[BonesJones]

Houston has no excuses this time.

 

[KingSpeed]

uh oh rockets might be done

And we’re not. Brings me joy.

 

[BonesJones]

This is 73 win Warriors

No, it's not.

 

[KingSpeed]

None

 

[Wade Garrett]

Splash Bros.

 

[DDolla]

Damn, Warriors are f*** good

 

[BonesJones]

Great play out of the timeout D'Antoni lmao.

 

[BonesJones]

Neither of these teams played well. Portland's average game would've beaten both of these teams.

 

[crandc]

Rockets looking overrated. So much for this being the must watch series.

 

[KingSpeed]

Fuck Warriors are good.

 

[DDolla]

Dame just look at Steph Curry, now do it Sunday and lead us to the Western Conference Finals

 

[THE HCP]

Fuck Warriors are good.

Honest question, at what point in the past 5 years would you EVER have a reason to NOT believe this?

 

[KingSpeed]

Houston is Choke City yet again!

Anyone have the stats on how we play in afternoon games?

[DDolla]

If Dame and CJ scores 30 points each, we still not beating the Warriors

This impressed me most because they are a shell of 2015 team. Rockets really aren’t that good though.

The Warriors are interesting. Obviously when Durant is Healthy they put out the most talented team maybe in the history of Basketball. Its kind of a team that doesn't look like it always fits together though. KD can be a bit of a black hole (an amazing one), while the rest of the team doesn't move as well when he plays or pass as well, they basically just know we have so much talent we’ll find a way to win most nights.
When KD doesn’t play they all move well, the ball moves all over and the splash brothers and maybe more importantly the role players all look better and get better shots and opportunities to shine.
Are they a better “team” without KD? I dont know, probably not. They’re still incredible though.

What if Hood scores 30 also?

It seems weird to say but Warriors seem to be easier to beat with Durant than without.

Perfectly stated.

 

[Haakzilla]

Choke Harden lol.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Rockets are the margarine to the Warriors butter.

 

[Chris Craig]

Houston eliminated

 

[theprunetang]

Bad leadership for Houston. Just bad offense over the entire last 6 minutes with bad iso after bad iso, with no players stepping up or no coach changing what clearly wasn't working.

 

[BonesJones]

It's funny how terrible that Chris Paul trade turned out to be. I'd rather have Harrell and Lou Williams straight up. Not to mention that Lou and Trezl will make $14M COMBINED next year, while Chris Paul will make $38M.

It's funny how Darryl Morey and Sam Presti were made out to be top 5 GMs last year...

Funny how things change.
