    Rockets were better than the Grizz regular season and that Grizz team gave the Warriors trouble and this Rockets team is much better than that Grizz team

    Actually he's the best defensive center in the league. If the refs don't allow Bogut to grab and hold Luke he usually does, DWIGHT will punk him badly.

    Besides, whose side are you on?

    Turned into Sportscentrr on ESPNNews right after the game to see the press conferences; they lead with "Let's talk about one of the biggest collapses in history" and then Coachman, when discussing the Rockets titles, had to throw in that they were won "while Jordan was playing baseball." This was within the first five minutes.

    Turned it off at that point

    And if you watch the games, you would know that the only way bigs can hurt GSW is if they had any semblance of offense. Dwight? Still devoid of any range or post ability.

    I'm at the point where I really don't care what ESPN thinks.
    I'm sick of being disappointed 'waiting' for some commentary and when there finally is, it's so disrespectful and 1 sided (MOST of the time).

    I actually couldn't believe Barkley picked us for the series win over the Clippers.

    Yeah I think Ariza can lock up Klay pretty well. Steph will likely go off no matter who guards him but if we play him straight up and focus on shutting out the role players like the Clippers series we have a great chance. Jordan was the toughest matchup for Dwight left in these playoffs and I fully expect playoff Dwight to dominate the paint. Bogut's cheap shot game is nice but I don't think they can be as physical as the Clippers. I really feel like Rockets can take this in 6 but they may lose game 1 with such a quick turnaround.

    Again, whose side are you on? I'll bet you'll be thrilled if GS wins a game or two so you can troll hard here at CF. I'm sorry we disappointed you by beating the vastly superior Clippers.

    He's not even worth a reply. Just ignore dumb posters. I know there are a lot of them on here, so it's tough.

    Holy crap, dude. Damn the hate the Rockets get, lol. Can you find what is wrong with this tweet?

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-cards="hidden" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">.<a href="https://twitter.com/HoustonRockets">@HoustonRockets</a> will face off vs the Warriors in their first conference finals appearance since 1997. <a href="http://t.co/5dPRv5tiA1">pic.twitter.com/5dPRv5tiA1</a></p>&mdash; ESPN Stats &amp; Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/600090141089214464">May 18, 2015</a></blockquote>

    And when was the last time GSW were in the conference finals?

    If/when the Rockets beat the Warriors, they WILL beat whoever comes out of the east.

    Lol...the national pundits are mad as hell the Rox are still playing. They can't bring themselves to give the Rox much credit at all. This could blow up in all of their faces. I could see their darlings the Warriors crumbling under all the high expectations and pressure. We'll see.

    Dead on man. You have to think that the Warriors might come out feeling really confident given all the crap that is spoonfed them by the media. The constant reminder of the regular season series, the apparent FACT that the Clippers blew this series way more than the Rockets won it, etc. ESPN is a constant Steph Curry fellatio session.

    And ANOTHER <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Warriors swept Rockets in regular season 4-0

    Teams to sweep 4-0 in the regular season and then meet in any round have a 55-6 series record.</p>&mdash; ESPN Stats &amp; Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/600107311940534272">May 18, 2015</a></blockquote>

    You can't get mad at ESPN for referencing the regular season record and then reference a regular season defensive stat.
