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

[Stone]

4 points from the bench last night. When that happens you need your stars to be even better to compensate and they didn’t answer the bell.

Harden and Paul can impose their will on the defense better than Curry and Durant.

I often talk crap about how soft this era ... but, nah .... Houston and Boston, imo, bring that old feeling back. Even Indiana. They didn't advance, but they gave it all they had. I fukk with that.

But, as I've said before, Golden State is a deadly team, but never felt they were unbeatable. Their best two guys are finesse players.

A smart, aggressive defensive team can get them off of their game.

H-Town playing some good old fashioned defense. I was going to say 'Thug ball', but ... nah. They haven't approached 80s Pistons territory.

They’re not hungry anymore.

Eric Gordon really steppin up.

When KD loses in the wcf only in year 2 of his super team run

 

[Dushane Hill]

Outside of Curry, Durant, Green and Thompson, the rest of the team had a grand total of 8 points. Houston just have better role players and a better bench.

 

[Spence]

Chris and James both need to stay out for the first three quarters and only go in the fourth when necessary

Both of them out 75% of the game it won’t matter putting them in since we will be down 45 points

Said it in the game thread. They’re entitled AF and because they have such a large margin of error, probably the largest in NBA history, they can get away with a lot of dumb shyt, but they gave Houston life in game 4

Series is a coinflip at this point.

Series is over for the exact reason you stated

I dont like this narrative about the bench and stars gotta "compensate".
4 of GSW rotation players are all stars, 2 are MVPs. They lucky they even have a competent bench to begin with

But Curry is

When are y'all dudes gonna give this up - the only folks that keep bringing up his "injury" are y'all hating ass nikkas.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Some of those shots Chris Paul was knocking down last night was simply divine gut punches. If he can keep knocking down crazy shots like that it's nothing you can do about it.

Dudes just gotta stop fouling and sending them to the line.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Watching this series makes it even more clear that there is a big difference between Lebron and everyone else. Harden is going to be MVP and he was terrible in the biggest game of his life and wasn't good down the stretch of game 4. Having said that I really hope Houston wins this

If there was a "big difference" between him and everyone else, he wouldn't be down 2-3 to a team without its two best players; led by a bunch of cats in their early 20s - all the while he can't be bothered to play any defense.

 

[CSquare43]

Ok, I'm here to be counted.

Terrible game.

2 complete meltdown 4th Q's.

WHY HAVE WE STOPPED PASSING THE FU*KING BALL??!!!

Chris Paul's shimmy (after that amazing shot) was hilarious.

The refs were on some absolute bullsh*t. 55 free throws in the game?

Terrible game, even worse loss than game 4.

We need to really rework the bench next year regardless of how these last 2 games go..

EDIT: Can we grab a fu*king rebound???

 

[King Poetic]

No shyt

Was lebron coming back from 3 - 1 without Kyrie irving who scored 41, 23 and 26 in game 5, 6, 7, respectively with the game winner in game 7...

Its a team sport not tennis
