Sittin' Sidewayz Dem Boys In The Bay: Official Warriors vs. Rockets Western Conference Finals Thread

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Paul has clearly made more winning plays than Steph and KD

Not only is that blatantly wrong, but you conveniently left out Harden.

Sans, the six garbage points CP3 had in G1 (where he shamelessly tried scoring when his team was down by nearly 20 points with two minutes left), he's averaging 18 ppg on 38% shooting. Muh'fukkas are desperately trying to prop him up because Houston is winning, not even realizing that the role players have largely been fueling their wins in this series.

Sure thing bud, I stand by my words.

Stand by this neg too.

Then whats the explanation for the unenthusiastic non-reaction to the rest of the game all the way including the final buzzer and walking back to the locker room looking all dejected?

Im thinking its more likely he said that to put on a positive face for the media, not make injury excuses and and try to maybe will himself to a miraculous recovery. But the body language suggested the worst.

Yeah the body language says it all. Look how hyped cp3 was when they won game 4. Dude threw the ball up like he just won the title. Tonight looked like he lost the game.

I see what draymond was trying to do. He wanted to split between EG and PJ tucker hoping PJ tucker would leave klay for an open 3.

shyt, look how hype he was just a couple minutes before he got hurt. He was bouncing around trying to get Harden in the game, hype af

Huge win for H Town

Personally I think the series is over.

The only way GSW are winning the next two games is if it's two blowouts in a row as the warriors are embarassingly and shockingly bad in close games situations.

They literally don't know what to do in clutch situations and their squad is full of front running, mentally weak bytches. I just can't see houston losing it from here on out

Your thoughts.

 

[ALonelyDad]

easily, the last 2 games Rockets shot under 40%..Warriors just made dumb mistakes or played equally as bad. And Chris Paul being hurt (even if he plays), Warriors have a great chance to win the next 2

 

[duncanthetall]

Uh...of course they can. CP3 is hurt

 

[GunRanger]

4 bench points vs 33

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

All signs point to the Warriors winning this series. Houston has had a perfect storm to go up 3-2.

 

[Methodical]

Ofc, they can cause they have done that before from 3-1 series.

 

[King Jove]

they have 4 all-stars of course they can

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

4 bench points vs 33

Plus, Rockets making improbable contested 3-pt shots with the shot-clock running out (i.e. their offense to a T), v. the Warriors aren't moving the ball, missing clean looks, too many ISO, and fumbling the ball on basic possessions (i.e. NOT their offense). It's been a perfect storm for the Rockets, thus far.

Even if the Warriors play like their normal selves (don't need to be World beaters), they should win the next two games, comfortably, as they did in G3. Just need to wake up and stop fukking around.

Only Tyronn Lue comes close but he beat Kerr in a spectacular fashion before Durant came to win a cheap ring so it's fukk Kerr, advantage Lue

Check out some of Kerr's "skills" :


- Garbage at reacting to runs and making adjustments of any kind, as we have seen in Games 4 and 5

- shyt at managing rotations and player minutes

- Playoff choker, a frontrunner ( 2016 and now, almost choked in 2015 too, against LeBron and some Australian janitor )

- dikk rider of media, with his "funny" personality and "nice guy" act so they write positive articles about him and hype up his non-existent coaching ability

- Players don't respect him ( KD continued to play hero ball after Kerr's corny speech begging him to stop it )

- Took Mark Jackson's foundation and ran with it

- Zero situational awareness, some examples:

- Starting Anderson Varejao in Game 7 of the Finals

- Putting Festus Ezeli in the game at any point during the Game 7 of the Finals (guess who LBJ massacred?)

- Starting Harrison Barnes and giving him major minutes after one of the WOAT series by a player

- Not ever exploiting Curry/Durant pick and roll

- Not having any kind of answer for Houston's defense

- Installing a cowardly, choking, frontrunning culture where his "superstars" dance & showboat when up 20 and piss their pants & fumble the ball like Trent Richardson in the end zone when down 2

- Letting Draymond Green think he's an all star instead of giving him a reality check and telling him he's a shorter Yinka Dare

- And so on...
