i disagree. with a strong star and average supporting cast, you want the inconsistent lower level players to have to beat you, because they might not be capable of that.
That doesn't mean anything until they set the line. Are they trying to sway bettors to make foolish bets by putting out pointless odds prior to the real betting line?
Houston fans should be better than this. I'm not trying to be a saint or a buzzkill but we all know thats not cool. I would be heartbroken if Harden's knee got clipped in the playoffs after a mind blowingly amazing regular season from him. I would also think its classless trash and deflating to see the other teams fans encouragin/joking about it. I also don't think its fair to define beverley by that one play a long time ago. Yeah it was a reckless play but he isn't that dirty and didn't purposefully tear westbrooks knee up. Houston fans need to be better than this
It doesnt. It doesnt matter what any of us think. We post on this board to share opinions. I am not judge and jury or trying to be the ultimate authority on a topic. We are all posters here and that post reflects my opinion on that topic. You do realize that is a post without any substance though right? You can reply to any comment on any forum on the internet and say "right, but why does what you think matter?"
I knew somebody would get salty and accuse me of being holier than thou. That's exactly why I put my disclaimers in that post saying I'm not trying to be a saint or a buzzkill. If you want to tell me my opinion doesn't matter, that's fine. My opinion isn't worth any more or less than you or any poster on this board. If you want to go ahead and be a deuche and joke about taking out westbrooks knee also then go ahead. That's your prerogative
And that vote was in error and I can't freaking change it. The Rockets are going to win this one in 5 games.
If this goes 6 games, we're not ready for the next level. By all accounts, OKC is a lottery team + one superstar. We should be able to either sweep them or lose only 1 game.
Nothing shameful about a series goin 6 or 7 games. Westbrook is good. A ton of great teams have long series against worse opponents. Remember the 2008 66 win celtics getting taken to 7 in the 1st round by the atlanta hawks? Just win and dont look back! Never be ashamed of a win no matter how it happens!
