The Houston rocket has many weakness, we are going to see throughout this series but it depends on how fast they adjust. All the warriors need is to let Durant or Green bring up the ball then trust me the paint is open. Zaza and Javale are not really needed in this series #smallball IMO

You all better hope it doesn't become another finals rematch if not, it's a sweep for the Cavs. I mean a sweep.

The Warriors are sweeping the Cavs you meant right? Ca n't see past Golden State tbh. I don't see any team beating them in a 7 game series.

Let them get cocky. Keep shut and trust the basketball gods.

Houston has two primary ball handlers in CP3 and Harden, while Gsw has a lot of options in handling the ball. Do u know what happens to the opposing teams defence when a PF or C brings up the ball? It draws out the opposing team best defenders or rim protectors like Capela or Luc while guys like Klay will find enough for cutting or spotting up without needing a screen. IMO

You cant run that play often. If an opposing team knows that you prefer that, they can trap or disrupt your play before you PF/C can make the necessary play. Probably the only PF in the game this can work for is Lebron because he actually has PG skills. But even then, you will get in trouble with smart teams. In fact, your big man will end up having to pass the ball back to the PG to setup a play. Which means you just wasted 8 to 10 seconds on tbe shot clock. Cant rely on that

Another aspect to note is It's a contrast in style, though, the Warriors' ball movement and fluidity against the Rockets' ground-and-pound isolation. It's two teams trying to do mostly the same things -- score in the paint and score from 3-point territory -- but they go about them in different ways. The Warriors were third in passes per game; the Rockets were 30th. The Warriors were 20th in isolations per game; the Rockets were first. The Warriors were first in off-ball screens per game; the Rockets were 30th. You get the idea?

Talk about the freedom to argue basketball without limitations on national TV. To me this is the best pre/ post NBA games show on TV.

It is a tough argument for me to side even though I love Shaq's position about "babying" superstars in the league.

I don’t think I can have that kind of argument, I think both of them are right. You don’t baby your players, and it’s bad for the team if there is no good relationship between the coach and team beat player.

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody:
The funny thing is what these two knuckleheads are fighting about is a non issue at all. Demars relationship with Casey is absolutely fine and the last interview with Demar he confirmed it and heaped praises on Casey. It's not ideal but it's ridiculous to say a team can't win a title if the coach and the best player don't get along. Isn't it ironic how Barkley believes he knows everything about winning championships?

Shaq is a bully and everyone knows this. Of course he's a better and more dominant player but to flaunt your rings and accolades at every slight provocation is childish. "I got 4 rings and 3FMVP so what do you know about championship?" that's why chuck said that explains nothing. Both of em are right but to start flaunting and raising your voice at every slight verbal provocation is childish and Chuck made sure he hit the bully with the same moves.

Great win for the celtics. Unfortunately, this is as far as you go.

Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 4:00am On May 10, 2018
He talks like he was bullied as a kid.

You can see why him and Kobe didn’t get along.
