    Underestimating never


    Moments after GS gets beaten at home...again

    "Its not an advantage for Houston to get to rest because they have to play on the road on Golden State"

    [Rockets are 2-0 at Oracle this season]
    [Warriors are 1-2 at Oracle in the playoffs]

    "All the pressure is on Houston and James Harden so it's no advantage"

    [GSW struggling against a mediocre clippers team and bro Durant and Twitter aliases are halfway out the door]

    Embarrassing.

    Man Grant Hill, over on NBATV, was saying the Rockets close out win wasn't impressive enough.. 4-1 series against a top 3 defense.. lol..

    I was lost there. There is obviously a difference. They are saying HCA is more important, not an amount of extra rest. But they are saying that on a relative term. On an absolute term, there is adavantage us having more rest. These guys not the most smart ones out there.

    Rest is so beneficial for this team. How could they overlook rest?

    Shaq just called the defense during the last game of the season on David Robinson, when he won the scoring title by scoring 70+ points, the “James Harden” defense; just slap at them and let them go.

    They are so bad at their job

    I know they're "entertainment" but they purport to explain.


    This is like having zombie Ptolemy come out of his tomb sail to Pisa and thn tell us why Galileo is still the underdog because he's just a dipshit who drops balls of a balcony so what!

    Had the Warriors closed out LA, I would have agreed with Hill's assessment, but not now.

    In this series, the second-best defensive team in the NBA schemed specifically to stop our best player at the expense of everything else, yet Harden was still effective and Houston won. Yes, they slowed him down, but if you look at his stat line, it's only subpar to what he generally puts up. Put that line by other star players names and its fine in a win especially since he came through in the fourth in four out of five games. IMO, that defense altered the ability of the Jazz to defend the Rockets' as a whole and failed in the fourth when it had to stop Harden to earn a victory.

    Shaq is the most educated one among the three. :D There.

    Barkley often has an instinct but doesn’t know how to articulate it effectively.

    The TNT crew is cringeworthy.

    Shaq always starts mumbling with "i have said this before..."
    Kenny (20 sec pause trying to come up with something)..then spits out some stupidity.

    Klay literally said they didn't want us getting rest. It must mean something.

    They confidently predicted the Warriors would win. Most folks did. And then the Warriors went out and gave up 71 in a half and lost to the Clippers.

    It's not bad when the pundits tell the Warriors they'll beat your team. It's good. It's helps the Warriors coast and lose. Let's hope it happens again.

    I think he meant the defense the Jazz was playing on Harden

    Barkley said Harden has to play great in order for us to beat GS in a game... LOL, we beat them when Harden didn't play at all!

    They were players. Maybe they know it better.

    he was playing mind games with rockets, they 100% know harden plays worse with more days of rest...i am sure they tanked this game after baiting rockets into finishing their series fast

    Isaiah Thomas was a player, doesn't mean he's not a dumbass otherwise. But you could be right.
