I rather play gsw in the second round than the conference finals

Agreed. gsws are ripe for the taking!

 

I dont know if I rather playing them earlier or not, but we have to play them either way so who cares.

 

Yep. I hope last year we had played them in the 2nd round instead of the conference fianls.

 

Yep. Doesn't matter when, 99% chance we have to take them out to advance so bring it .

 

Beverley won't let him rest, I hope.

Provided we finish off the jazz quickly and without over extending ourselves.....sure.

 

6 seed is better than 4 seed for the sake of gate receipt.

Beat blazers. + nuggets = conference

 

To me the star player who is most prone to injury (CP3)between the two teams is on our team so we benefit more from facing them earlier than later.

 

You have to face them sometime.probaly second round will have less psychological pressure as well as opposed to being in the conference finals for the Rockets players anyway

 

Make sense.

Iggy is more injury prone than cp if playing time is same.

 

this is a blessing in disguise

we need to play gsw before cp3 gets hurt

we don't need cp3 in the wcf or finals

 

Don’t need Paul to beat thunder and bucks?

Gordon and house can’t make shots. Tucker and capela score?

 

Let's be honest, any injury to CP3 and we aren't winning a championship. The benefit to playing GS in the 2nd round is we get to see what happens with a healthy squad, hopefully.

 

Ya but CP3 is more important to us than Iggy is to the Warriors.

 

Durant had 16th technicals last night.

 

Curry angle issues is putting pressure on the back up point guard cook.


Warriors gonna need to give cousins more money! Maybe Cook's money

 

Honestly.. the Rockets' goal is to win a championship. If we lose in the 2nd round, or in the conference finals, that would be a disappointment for us. We aren't favored to win, but that is our goal.

With that said- it really doesn't matter. For the first round, I think we match up pretty well with the Jazz, and I don't think the Spurs, Blazers or Thunder would have been any easier of an out. And we would have to go through Golden State at some point, doesn't even matter what round.
So the loss against the Thunder sucks some, sure, but in reality I don't think it matters to us that much.

Bring it on. So excited for the playoffs

 

I just believe in my Rockets.

 

If we play them in the second round and they beat us, that's just 4-7 fewer games I'll be watching. I can make good use of that extra time.

That video just pisses me off. Why are Bev's aggressive shenanigans more out of line than Curry's passive aggressive shenanigans?

Curry spends the entire game preening like a little peacock, constantly doing **** that's borderline disrespectful to the other team (at least when the Warriors are winning).

And before anyone says it, yeah, I get that many guys do that kind of stuff, including Harden and CP3. But the only three in the league I can name off the top of my head are Curry, Draymond, and Marcus Smart, and at least the last two have the balls to be upfront about it.
