2015 Playoffs: (1) Golden State vs. (2) Houston

[NovU]

In contrast, I can't respect the Clippers, for being a crap player in FA market and trade business despite having big market behind them on top of all that established superstars. It's Doc Rivers's fault for not getting it done so CP3 has better help. Just compare what Daryl Morey has been doing to Doc River's. It goes way back(even Lin/Asik overpaid signing didn't turn out to be bad ones but gutsy). Despite key injuries to their roster this season(Beverley/D-mo), they still have solid depth to compete. That's how you build a team. Not with Danny Granger last year, then all that junks this year, absolutely regressed from few seasons ago. Which would you respect more?

[Kevin]

wtf are the warriors doing?
Rockets close out 1st half with 23-6 run.

[Kevin]

What a finish.

Klay and Steph smothered Harden cause they already knew he was gonna take the last shot

[Jackal]

Damn, that was a thriller. If GS cleans up their turnovers this can be done in 4-5.

[benji]

Harden passed because he wanted the triple double, shock or freeze?

[Andrew]

Even if this does end in 4 or 5, it might still have the excitement of a seven game series. I love shootouts where both teams are still making an effort on defense; Curry and Harden are putting on a show.

[[Q]]

loved the rage quit after reaching the tunnel. i mean, what did that curtain ever do to him??

Easier on the hands than a fire extinguisher.

[Jackal]

Lol@rockets/Howard.

[stereoxide]

Damn! The Warriors just demolished the Rockets. This series is surely theirs as history shows. Harden having a really bad shooting game while the Warriors are just hitting their shots, playing great D and passing the ball well.

[Andrew]

After a performance like that, it's hard to envision the Rockets salvaging any dignity with a single win to avoid being swept.

[Alpha_]

Hoping the Rockets will pull off another miraculous comeback.

[[Q]]

Lol@rockets/Coward.

lol I was a bit more hopeful than realistic on a Rockets sweep, but I guess there was one other person that picked Warriors in 4 as well.

[NovU]

Harden turns in a absolute stinker and Curry has one of the best games in his young playoffs career. Fitting way to end a MVP discussion.

Now the question is will the CAVS sweep as well?

[Kevin]

Conference Finals are one-sided this season.

[koberulz]

Have both Conference Finals been swept in the same year before?

Ha you skirts are just looking for any reason to fire on Howard

[koberulz]

That sequence where he was outrebounded by Curry, then fouled Curry, went down the other end and airballed a layup, then fouled Curry again was just delightful.

[air gordon]

Lol bitter to the end.

How does that compare to Pau bouncing back with one of his best seasons, leading the league in double doubles, and making an all nba team? Were you happy for him then or just as bitter?

[koberulz]

My feelings about Dwight have zero to do with him playing for the Lakers, if that's what you're getting at. So much so that I'd actually forgotten it had happened, and had to take a second to figure out what you were on about.

[air gordon]

Fair enough. Why don't you like him anyway? I'm not per say a fan of Howard but I am rooting for what is becoming a rarity- low post scorers

What about the rest of the laker nation regarding their affections for Howard vs gasol?

[Jackal]

I don't like Howard. I like Gasol, I'm happy the guy is doing well and catch a game from time to time. Howard hasn't improved much over the course of his career, he had the tools to develop in to something way more than what he is. He's relied on athleticism and not much else.

I watched him up close with the Lakers and wasn't a fan then either. I'm a fan of low post scorers too but a left to right semi shake and a jump hook/putbacks don't really do much for me.

As fans you just have a preference to some players and not to some others. I don't like Lebron either. It's just preference.

[air gordon]

Curious for the hatred for Howard from mr. Koberulez if it is not for him being a laker.

Yeah yeah it's preference. There's a little more to it you're finding much delight in a series of mishaps or constantly calling him a coward or bitch

I don't like l James either since he's eliminated the Bulls countless times but I will call him out when he's complaining like a baby yet still will give him his props

[koberulz]

Curious for the hatred for Howard from mr. Koberulez if it is not for him being a laker.

Pretty much the same as Jackal. He can jump really high and is utterly useless at everything actually basketball-related. Plus interviewing himself during the Finals instead of focusing on basketball, participating in a 'what would you tell your younger self' thing and picking the message of 'don't always take things seriously' when his biggest problem is an inability to take things seriously, said inability to take things seriously...basically, he's not the slightest bit talented and doesn't seem to care.
