The rocket scientist.

Warriors better prepare to get hurt and mangled like Kurt Angle, rookie year.

Not sure why Warriors fan are so confident they win the series when Curry has struggled against them including a game they held him to 3 points. Those Thompson twins ain’t no joke. Playoff Jimmy can possibly get them over the hump but I think this will be a long series.

Who merged my thread into this one and why?

If the Warriors are going to make noise in these playoffs they will probably need to win this series 4-0 or 4-1.

So if they win 4-2 they can’t make noise these playoffs? Another idiotic take, but no surprise of course :lol:

Betting line for Game 1 did not budge at all, still a toss-up at Golden State +1.

This could really go either way but i feel the Rockets will have more to prove in the opening game and will play with more fire early and often...

Guess they won’t be making noise in the playoffs lol.

Highly, highly doubt this series goes less than 6. If it does it’s more likely that the Warriors are on the wrong side of it.

Yeah I don't see a sweep or 5 game for either team here. I think we go at least 6.

Hopefully we finally get an exciting game today!! Good luck to the Rockets fans here.

I think GSW wins this series. Round 1 Butler is usually top 5 player version of Butler.

He usually fades out the longer into rounds teams go. Maybe not this time though given he has Curry now.

I would have never thought the Rockets bloody R logo would last 20+ years and counting

Brooks vs Draymond this could get entertaining.

Tells you how much ownership truly cares about their image. :lol:

I’ve never been a fan of it.

The statement is extreme but a older team like warriors suffers more from longer series so is not ideak for them to go the distance since round 1

More wear and tear, more inury chances in a relatively thin rotation (i know they played deep in reg season but imo have few playoff worthy depth players)

I bet rockets

Changed my mind. i feel Warriors have a shot at stealing Game 1 and will flip/bet accordingly. Getting GSW +2!
