The Battle Of 1 & 2: The Chef vs. The Beard Warriors vs Rockets WCF Thread

And i can easily say Houston lost by two possessions and their highest paid player missed over half of the game..

Thats sounds a lot.more plausible then you saying GS would have won with or without Livingstons 18 off the bench

Sounds plausible for the Rockets to win with the player that was supposed to be leading the MVP race at one point. James Harden won big games without Dwight Howard for a large part of the regular season but now we give him a pass because his team wasn't full strength?

Disappointing how many mental errors the Rockets made but not surprising because unfortunately that's what the team does with regularity.

Yeah I actually thought you guys played as well as you possibly could. This was one of those games I expected yall to take, since the Warriors really didn't play too well.

@Gil Scott-Heroin @GoddamnyamanProf I get that you both feel strongly, but ya'll nikkas stay cloggin' up threads will this bickering shyt

I know, I ignore most of his posts for the sake of the board.

Whether that may eventuated or not, he was STILL the main reason they came back in the second quarter. When he came in, the whole complexity of the game changed. Keep in mind the Warriors were down by 16, and the momentum swung back in the Warriors favor (without him the Rockets could've kept a double-digit lead at the half) - 2nd top scorer for the Warriors with 18 points on 75% shooting - I don't know where you think the other production would've came from on only eight shots.

If Livingston didn't play then Kerr could lean on Curry to get them within striking distance before half. It's not like Steph has logged heavy minutes this season...he should be able to go all 48, the Warriors just have the luxury of an ideal backup point

You can tell hes a first time dad.

So accurate because his euro step is really that slow

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Isiah droppin gems "no push offs if you cant hand checc"

He mentioned that? Good

Pretty sure that was in reference to Curry.

Its a 5vs5 game and any team CAN win. Dont quote me if you are going to make stupid fixes. Rockets s̶h̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ have won. They didn't because of lazy turnovers on passes designed for a player that wasnt even on the floor

I'll leave all of the predictions to all of the experts in here but I have some random thoughts I wanna add:

If this was the first Rockets game this season for someone to watch they picked the perfect game because tonight just a rerun of almost everything they do right & wrong.

I'm tired of reading all of these "imagine if they had Beverly" comments and I'm convinced most of these fans/media members watched a different Rockets team than I did all season because not only is he not THAT good of a defender (at least this season) but he's also not even close to the most important injured starter as that would be Dmo. I've seen folks slurping Jones and Smith at various times but there a reason neither was the starter this season (and save me the Jones was injured talk). I'm tired of ppl acting like Beverly would slow down Paul/Curry when Dmo defends pfs better than Beverly defends pgs. I'm not even gonna get into what the team misses by not having his post scoring ability. I'm just venting so don't mistake me as someone making excuses. Rockets won two series without either and credit where credit is due.

Jones and Smith make way too many errors on defense. I don't feel comfortable having both on the court at the same time. Both wildly inconsistent on offense in different ways. With Jones you pretty much know quickly if he isn't mentally all there on a particular night but good/bad Smith can show up any possession.

McHale had some questionable lineups out there. Thought Capela should've played more.

Disappointing how many mental errors the Rockets made but not surprising because unfortunately that's what the team does with regularity.

If Terry isn't hitting his shots he shouldn't see much time.

I have a lot more to say but fukk it. If Dwight isn't hurt too bad I don't see much of a reason to be down about this loss.

I Been watched Houston probably 50 out of the 82 games this year...while i agree on your points on T Jones... and J Smith
I can't consign what ur saying about Beverley...hes a premier defender and having him on Curry instead of Prigi, and Terry makes a difference

Everyone on the Rockets is seriously flawed, which is why Harden should have gotten more credit in their 2nn place finish and took the Mvp


You can talk shyt about Jones and Smith, but at the end of the day, they are they're best options at the 3 and 4..so there is really nothing else Houston can do.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

We took Houston's best shot and still got the victory.

 

[sfgiants]

One thing ima say is james haren in the first half was the typical flopping fakkit flailing his arms around who everyone hates to see play basketball like a bytch
that second half he was and it wasn't about trying to draw fouls, he was out there ballin
2 very different Harens, fukk both of them tho

what section were your tickets?

216
