Of course, but they can only play the games on their schedule for now. Playoffs will be here soon enough but I'm going to celebrate the success of regular season too.
At one point in the 4th, when it looked like the Worriers might pull it out, Curry was on the sidelines laughing and waving his arms around. You would think that they'd won already. I like that attitude. Keep it up and we'll see how you feel facing us during the playoffs.
Not sure the Warriors were coasting: *Ending a 14 game road win streak. *Draymond Green flexing his biceps every other play. *Losing the the season series; which gives the winner the tie breaker. *Warriors taking a 4 point lead around midway thru the 4th quarter. Warriors are a seasoned championship team. It could be a huge blunder if the Warriors get hit with injuries between now and the end of the season. Injury to Curry and Durant simultaneously for 2 weeks could erase that small lead that they have now in the standings. Home court advantage thru the playoffs. I find it hard to believe they were coasting. If they did; then losing the 1st seed to the Rockets by circumstance later in the season could be traced back to this game. Falls on them. I for one hope that it turns into an epic fail on their behalf.
Because we won the season series, we get the tie-breaker for playoff seed and we just need to win two more games than GSW in the rest half of the season, which is hard but doable. Had we lost, our chance to have homecourt advantage is basically gone because we would have to win 5 more games than them. For them, maybe they don't care about home court advantage that much, but for us, it's still extremely valuable.
Hey David West... it's only two in the loss column. Check your ego son... we're closer than you think.
Before we talk too much about the warriors let's make sure we get to the conference finals first, everything is looking good but we should concentrate one game at a time and not think conference finals is a given. Be confident and lock in for the rest of the season, i havn't been this optimistic since i started following the rockets (for about 10 years now). Playoffs are always different intensity wise, GS have been in this situation 3 years in a row we still have a lot to prove. They have every right to feel confident but if we match up with them and lift our game to another level during the playoffs we're going to give them hell of a shock.
That’s right. We need confidence building victories. They don’t, they are the champs. We are the underdogs.
Draymond: After the game in the locker room, players were dismissing the narrative that they dropped a significant game. "It's game 40-what? Seven, eight?" Draymond Green asked during the media scrum. "Who we play on Tuesday? We just got to get ready for [New York]. Home court will take care of itself down the road." Later in the story: With the defending champs down three with 2:25 left, Klay Thompson took a tough, contested and ill-advised 14-foot jumper that missed the rim altogether. Green was livid, and his frustration spilled into the timeout huddle seconds later. While sitting on the bench, an animated Green continued voicing his displeasure with the shot selections, and Shaun Livingston stood in front of him, attempting to calm down the power forward. Yeah, they didn't care. I call BS.
Then you truly are clueless. I'm not salty at all dude. You sure seem that way though. Sorry if you can't handle the conversation at hand, must be tough being 13 trying to discuss bball with adults though.
http://www.clutchfans.net/opponent_history.cfm?TeamID=25 According to that, the Rockets swept them four out of five seasons from 2011-2015, but not the season they won the championship or the season they were reigning champions.
Kevin Durant on Clint Capela saying Houston is a better team than the Warriors: “You hear that from guys like Capela, who’s usually catching the ball or laying it up from CP or Harden. His job is not as hard. I mean when your job is that hard you don’t say **** like that.”
lolz, typical draymond. he's too busy trying to prove he's a top ten player in the league by flexing (anyone remember those bogus espn player rankings at the beginning of the year??) Too much going on in his mind to be consistent. To his credit, he's a lot more likeable off the court than on. His interviews are like seeing a complete different person.
