Jerry West believes Warriors weak point is very clear.

@Louka has a history of Black Magic. Louka didn't post any negative vibes in the 2018-2019 season; saved all of it for the playoffs.

 

I think fa-weed could be use when bogut is in and if capela needs to take a breather. He can out run him and violate him in the pick and roll game.. I think our bigs will be a problem for gsw if we use them correctly .
That’s if they don’t go small ball the whole series tho

 

This. For all the love thrown around for passing the ball, and how the Rockets need to pass the ball..... there is a reason the Rockets don't pass it more, turnovers. The Warriors were turning the ball over a lot early in the series and more this season than a team like the Rockets. Those are free points the Rockets need to take advantage of for sure. They need to win the free throw battle as well. They do both of those and they should be in a solid position.

It is the playoffs, and the bench does not matter as much. Most teams are going to go 7-8 deep and that is about it. If the Rockets go much deeper than 8, then we know something has gone wrong for the Rockets.

The one caveat to all of this and what West said about benches not mattering as much........ IF the Warriors get an injury to one of their starters, the difference between the benches could become very important. The Warriors would be very short handed and would likely go with a very non conventional rotation.

 

chicken sacrifice occurring shortly to please the gods

 

It doesn't matter who the Warriors surround their top 4 with, they're the heavy favorites against anybody.

 

seriously. no other team has 3 guys that can drop 60. rockets have to win with defense. slow them down, force them into ISO. live with KD, hopefully limit steph and klay a bit.

 

In at least 4 games. The rest of the games, I don't give a ****.

 

Our bench is better, but I don’t think the series will come down to bench production.

 

Bogut and Draymond will guard Capela and Tucker. I have a hunch they will tinker here and put Bogut on Tucker because Tucker has 0 driving ability anyway.

Klay Thompson will guard Harden.

Now you are left with Kevin Durant and Steph Curry guarding Chris Paul and Eric Gordon. That's going to be a problem for them.

Their other option is to bench Bogut and start Iggy, which further weakens their bench. I don't think they have a choice, I can't see it working out well for them with Bogut starting.

 

Nene is so playable.

Gerald Green shouldn’t even play against Utah. He’s the worst perimeter defender in the playoffs.

 

Worriers bench is old and shitty this year. They remind me of what our bench will look like if we don't keep adding young talent to this team.

Iggy is the only good "bench" player on the Worriers.

 

Not touching this poll with a 10' pole until we advance. If we advance.

 

They have 4 all stars currently playing..... they all demand playing time which makes sense. We only have two stars that pretty much identical positions so we have more versatility to play with lineups as the rest of the team is pure role players outside of EG possibly.

Iggy is basically a former star playing a role players role. Livingston is legit as hell and loony is pretty good.

On paper their bench is better then ours. I just think our overall team gel is better and we have a lot of high energy gritty players. Our system just works better incorporating our bench then the warriors

 

If you notice, Gobert puts his forearm into James on the floater everytime.

 

Waiting to see our bench produce

 

How about the Rockets’ very clear weak point that Harden may not show up?

 

Our bench played weak in this series, but the Jazz have a top 2-3 defense in the NBA. The Warriors (and especially their bench) won't be able to contain our offense, so it projects to be another offensive slugging match, just like last year. I'll take that.
