Houston Rockets 16-4 VS Golden State Warriors 18-2 NSFW

[Br0ken_Sp0ke]

This is an annoying Warriors team.

Their team isn't really annoying. Some of their fans on the GB and trolling in this thread though...

Lol, if that were true you wouldn't have been smoked by the Blazers last year.

I don't know if you've noticed, but we didn't exactly play defense last year.
Howard DEEEEEEEEEEMOLISHED the Blazers. It was our defense (Read: Playing Lin+Parsons+Harden+Jones = Atrocious D) and Aldridge's suddenly playing about 400 times better than he's ever played in his career that let us BARELY lose that series.

Oh wait, wait, what's that?

Sorry, I couldn't hear the rest of your argument over the sound of you guys getting CRUSHED by the Clippers in the first round. You'll have to talk louder next time.

Wait barely lose in 6 vs getting crushed in 7, something isn't right ...

Rockets board with a GSW troll. Who says I need to be fair? Not me.

FOX news style, baby.

At least you can admit it

It'll be a very different game once you have a full roster. Your team is playing really hard with a lot of energy. Did you guys get a new assistant coach or something?

In fairness, we lost by an average of .33~points per game, to GSW's 4.42 points per game, so even though it was 6 games vs. 7, I'd say ours was a closer series.
4.4 is like the difference between Chicago (13-8, .619) and Denver (10-12, .455) this year.

Not that it really matters.

haha

I'd say a 6 game or 7 game sample size isn't a great way to use that stat, Small Sample Size and all ... Not that it matters

Totally agree, but again...

Bickerstaff had a full summer to take over the defensive duties.....

there's no way we can beat the warriors with half our team out. at least need harden and dwight to stand a chance. we had more players out but this win was fair, they had no lee and bogut. i'd say its rockets c team vs warriors b team. we had 3 days off, ariza keeps missing wide open shots. harden once again has to do nearly everything to keep us in the game. and like last time we kept the game close till the end.

i wonder if its more clear who the best sg in the league is now? 3-4 fts, still got 34pts on good shooting from the field. they got to saw him play defense, or at least i hope that didtn go over everyone's heads.

it's pretty clear who the best SG is...

k just had to say - last years playoffs series the games were CLOSE! only one doublie digit win which was by the rockets and only 10 pts. the blazers needed the heroics of damian lilliard, and our (Please Use More Appropriate Word) defense, to win the series. lma had some of his best games of his career. two back to back 40pt games to start the playoffs.

the sereis was so close that if harden shot just a little bit better rockets would've won. he didnt need to shoot the ball good at all. he was shooting 37% from the field, 29% from the three. he just needed to make 2 or 3 more shots per game for rockets to win. daam that warriors fan is stupid as hell. keep trollin. dont make me hate the warriors. im a fan of the splash bros and appreciate real traditional bigs who can rebound and block shots and anchor a defense. im not a fan of draymond green though, whiny bitch. waaaaaaaaaaaah

[000001]

im not worried about these warriors in a playoff series....probably would've won if we didnt run out of steam starting 4th qt....didnt need howard, just isiah and papa wouldve done the job

same here

like i said the first time we face the warriors

i think the 1 seed warriors will lose to the 8 seed thunder

Hello, I just watched the fourth quarter of this game, just happen to have it on my DVR for some reason.

Why do y'all think the GSW small lineup of Green, Thompson, Curry, Barnes , and Livingston... was so effective in the last 8 minutes of the game ?

They were running a 1 - 5 PnR with Green/ Curry that was very effective and got Curry going, but past that, I'm at a loss why it worked so well.

GSW used that same lineup , only interchanging Igoudala with Livingston, vrs Thunder last Thursday and it was somewhat effective. Brooks tried to match it with Ibaka at center, it worked with KD in the game, but not so good without KD in the fourth quarter.

I'm just curious, it completely turned around your game with GSW.
