Why is that funny? what happened between the Spurs and Rockets has nothing to do with how they would fair against GS or what I said about the Rockets. It's all about matchups. Clearly, last night was a huge choke job by the Rockets, especially by Harden. I had the Spurs winning in 6 in my earlier posts but in that post I said I'd rather see the Rockets against GS based on matchup and the probability of the Rockets getting hot in a single series, what I said is if they get hott for a single series with the offensive power they got, they could beat anyone, and the probability of that happening in two series in a row is basically none, which is why I said they wouldn't be able to beat both GS and Cavs. We seen it before with a bunch of teams in the past that shoot tons of 3s or got ton of offense.

Okay, that's great. You said that the Rockets are one of the few select teams that plays good defense and contains the Warriors. I disagree with that statement. Rockets got exposed by a Spurs team down a couple key players. I wouldn't consider the Spurs a tougher match-up vs the Rockets as opposed to the Warriors.

I'm curious on your analysis for the WCF match-up.

Western Conference Finals:

Warriors vs. Spurs
Warriors in 5

I don't think he thought the warriors would lose to the rockets teeoh. Just that the rockets would be scarier if they caught fire from three. Spurs winning last night without Leonard is pretty massive though. If they can play like that against the warriors it'll be a series.

I think the spurs with Kawhi are better then the cavs so I'll say warriors in 6 or 7

Spurs vs. Warriors is going to come down to SA scoring on GS's defense. In their 4 losses to GS the last 2 years, SA has had such a difficulty scoring on them. If they can score consistently, they can set up their defense and limit GS a little more.

GS should definitely be favored, but if Kawhi is fully healthy, SA will give GS a tougher time than people expect. Houston was a great team for them to play and get used to prior to playing the Warriors. Should be a great series.

John. Fucking. Wall.

There will be a game 7 in Boston.

Also Bradley Beal was on fire in the fourth. Amazing possession after amazing possession.

[Spencer 555]

Porter also scored zero points lol.

If the wiz lose this game I'm gonna be pissed.

Dirty fucking Warriors. Fake champs two years ago where every team they faced had significant injuries. Now Zaza takes out Kawhi in a fucking hit job.

[Serge]

Someone needs to take Curry out. Bullshit that the Warriors are being given a free pass to the Finals due to injuries AGAIN.

[The Professor]

Never seen a luckier team. Warriors were getting their asses handed to them. Zaza clearly stepped underneath Kawhi. That is not a play that happens a lot in the NBA because players are aware they can hurt others.

SA showed that defending GS isn't the answer. Don't get me wrong you need a strong defense and rebounding to prevent multiple looks for them and fast breaks, but scoring is more important to set up your defense. GS relies more on missed shots and turnovers than execution. 74 points by Curry and Durant; Parker out and Kawhi basically missing a half. Win by 2.

Heartbreaking loss for SA. That literally may have been the series. If SA wins, you can rest Kawhi and make it a best of 5 with home court advantage since they don't play game 3 till Saturday. This sucks.
