The two games at Oracle would be split as well. These is going to the wire. A proper conference finals.
Both teams will keep adjusting

Don't get carried away. The warriors looked uncharacteristically shaky today. I don't expect to see that at the oracle and I refuse to believe the rockets can replicate this sort of performance until I see it.

The Warriors are playing frustrated, I think they just want to return to the Oracle.

Curry needs to get over this asap if they are to win this series. KD alone can't do it. Warriors needs to be able to match the rockets 3s and that start with Curry

This is my assumption. They split oracle. Rockets win 5 and Warriors win 6 and 7 or Warriors in 5

To be Honest I don’t see Rockets winning shit at Oracle, forget what I wrote up there. At the third quarter when Rockets and Durant Warriors were going back and forth, the fans would have change the Tempo and rest would have been history.

We shall see. Reduce the turnovers then warriors will be okay but we both know warriors and turnovers are like........

Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 5:30am On May 17, 2018
What is it with all these hot take reactionary nonsense I am reading here?

Houston balled. Simple.

KD will always get buckets because he has length and when we are trapped we drop it to him to do something. Nothing special abeg. We dropped a game to the Pels with the same Hampton 5.

I remember saying I hope this game does not play out like the OKC series because we sucked away in that series till game 6.

It was our customary IDGAF game and a good team like Houston deserved it.

We are going to be 3-1 after the 2 home games and Houston may likely pick game 5 where everything ends again at Oracle in game 6. It may end before depending on how we decide to play game 5.

Ayesha is pregnant Bruh!! She'll be due late July and that basically means Steph is carrying 1/3rd of the pregnancy too grin cheesy Dude was cooking his fam Pasta a night before game 1, took Ayesha out sunbathing earlier yesterday.. I mean!! The family man has a lot on his shoulders already especially with the fact that he doesn't have that James Harden lower body strength. He can't do it all. grin


Seriously Steph looks like he's not a 100%.. He's struggling mentally as well and the Rockets won't stop abusing him on every play.. Anyways, unto the next one.

Stop reacting. Curry is 2/13 from 3 in 2 games and PJ Tucker and Gordon were 11/15. LOL.

Yall had the chefs and their whistle cooking y'all nice dishes in both home games.. I could say it's only fair if we get the same treatment at oracle but nah!! That's too much. Issa Blowout for y'all if they cooked for us too.

He's a one man show out there. For some reason I like the way warriors were before he got there. It's kinda how Houston is right now. Though he makes warriors better no doubt but Warriors imo played better pre Durant.

We are better than Houston without KD.

This disrespect needs to stop. Are the Pelicans who whooped us in game 3 better than Rockets? What is it with this hindsight nonsense man's just dey read here.

Not from you though.

Curry isn't 100% physically or mentally.. Dude needs to just wake up abeg.. Kerr has baby seated him enough. Not every team have the luxury we have.

But Curry had this type of games even against Cavs game 4, Pels game 3, OKC game 3&4 (2016).

It is not unusual that atimes he does not play well away.

If you bet on this you will lose your money.


You heard it here.

It is going 3-1 back to Houston. Why are people behaving like Rockets are some scrubs especially in their home games? That is what is befuddling to me.

Abeg calm down cheesy no jinx am. We saw was 2yrs ago. Curry better get less minutes if he's gonna continue this way. Dude is struggling and I feel bad for him. He needs to get in his rhythm asap.

Oga SmooshCHN.

We are not dropping 1 game at the oracle.

The only thing this loss does is develop enough hot takes before game 3.

Before playoffs started I thought everyone claimed home court was key. If we dropped 2 games like the Cavs I would have understood some of the hoopla.

It is basketball tradition to get a split at least before going back home. Is it not Oracle that Curry can close eye and shoot from the logo? People underestimate what playing on home court can do.

I am not in the least worried about Curry. I am sad for him because he is my favorite player but I am not worried.

PJ Tucker and Gordon getting more than 40pts is like Quin Cook and Swaggy P getting such numbers. Fluke something.

Klay 8 Curry 16 in oracle? 2 games in a row. Better chances of seeing snow in Borno.

We split games with San Antonio and Pels so it was only right that we were going to do same with Rockets.

You're totally right. I'm also not worried about the series at all even if we split at home.. I just don't like Steph looking like the way he did. The body language wasn't impressive and I saw Draymond screaming at D West when he made a mistake. We played horrible, Curry didn't show up, the refs cooked and it was still hardly a blowout. Not worried at all.

Don't mind LilWayne's scammer dad (lol). They were good for their win and we sucked bad. I expected it if I am being honest but I would have preferred a close game loss not a blowout.

But then blowouts helps us because we react better that way. Kerr when asked about our Turnovers said if we play well away..we tend to have many turnovers the following game.

You are talking about players that will be missing their GFs and wives back in Cali. Once we sense we are not going to win a game we usually close shop. That is why I always big up the young celts; because for some reason those ones don't know when to quit.

We ain't splitting natta.

We are taking a 3-1 lead back to Houston. Quote me.

Like I said, Curry playing garbage hurts my soul but Bro...Westbrook laughed about his D..then Curry went 30..31 and 36 to win the series in 2016.

I am not worried sam sam. To explain how certain I am, even if we were down by 25 with 1Q to go at Oracle I would still post here that we would win.

If you told us before the series began that we would steal one of their home games we would have accepted it.
