I believe Jazz would have done better with Rubio. His ball handling would have helped in some situations


Cris Paul is going crazy.

Definitely.

I don't think CP3 in the NBA circle, more like he has underachieved with his teams.

Rockets vs warriors will come down to who has the mental strength.
What the rockets need apart from playing well is to believe in their abilities that they can beat the warriors.
They look focused & motivated because most of the players on that team has an axe to grind against the warriors or a point to prove to the NBA.
Capela is playing for the contract
Chris Paul and harden for their legacy
D antoini for his legacy
Luc and Ariva have lost several games to the warriors.
Daryl morey's decisions are gonna be scrutinized and like he said a few months ago "The rockets are obsessed with beating Golden state"

To cap it up this is the first time the warriors will be playing a playoffs series without home court advantage since they became a force to be reckon with in the NBA. So the dynamics of the series is different, they can't afford to loose the first two games and give the rockets further confidence boosts.

This is the series that may define an era, golden state going on to be a lasting dynasty or the first step to their loss of power in the nba.

All I hope for is fair officiating and we will get a lit series.

Our interior defence is impeccable but Pels are shooting bunkers from 3 which is not fun.

I know law of averages will soon set in but we need to do better.

KD has been a leader in this one..but his shooting is a bit off.

Credit Cook..he is seizing the moment.

You are right.

Houston's greatest undoing will be assuming the regular season was anything to go by. It is not.

Rondo wants all the smoke.. OK!! Curry's gonna show him what's up.

They are in this game strictly because we have been really bad from 3 and in contrast they can barely miss.

We need to shoot better from 3 and this game will be done.

I think we gave up too many open 3s.. Cutting down tunrovers especially from Curry is important.. We need to close out this game.

We did.

We slagged off Rondo and Mirotic a bit in the 3pt. Especially when the latter was 30+ feet away.

Our D and movement is just lovely though.

No team can beat Golden state warriors in seven games series. Argue with your keypad.

If you want to set a plan against GSW, plan against them at their best not their worst. If you plan against the worst...the best will disrupt everything.

Klay Thompson clanging uncontested after uncontested 3s.
