Rockets Will Travel To Bay Area Before Golden State's Series Against Clippers Concludes

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Houston Rockets are traveling to the San Francisco Bay Area ahead of a potential Game 1 at Oracle Arena against the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors will have two opportunities to defeat the Los Angeles Clippers to advance to the second round of the playoffs.

The Rockets want to adjust to Pacific Standard Time and will practice at Oracle Arena over the weekend.

The Rockets don't intend to disrespect the Clippers with their travel plans.

If the Clippers upset the Warriors, Houston will host Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

How awkward would it be for the Warriors if D’Antoni, Harden and CP3 were all sitting court side at Oracle for game 7 (if there is a game 7).

Houston trying to jinx the Warriors and make them overconfident w/ this move. Smart of them .

I love this maneuver. It's like a sneak diss and a poke in the eye all at once. They're planning to practice at Oracle while the Warriors are away? I love it. You can't make this stuff up!

They are doing this to troll the Warriors lol
