Incredible the difference a good presentation can have on how hyped you feel going into a matchup. God, I can't believe we were forced to endure ESPN as long as we have.

really a shame about fvv - injuries suck, especially for a team trying to win it all.

Here we go. The challenger vs the champs. Interesting matchup. Will Durant be the X factor this year? Can Amen run point? We already know OKC is elite.

So many Rockets kick outs are going to go to bad shooters.

Rockets are crashing the offensive rebounds pretty hard. Holmgren might need to slide to the 3 and have another big down low
