    Bro. Turn your phone off and record it. Tell everyone not to even think about ruining the score for you... now that’s a reason to lose lifelong friends (spoilers)

    Ariza is in the 3 of the best line-ups of the team...

    and Tuck is in all 5...

    we passed on Chandler Parsons and Iggy for them. D Morey is a ****ing genius.

    Dat boi Morey settled for Tuck after Redick went to Philly and Iggy used him as leverage.

    Morey settled for Ariza after punk-ass Parsons went to Dallas

    Morey dodges bullets like Neo. He's The One.

    He really is.

    How could the Raptors/Wizards let tuck and Ariza go?

    Its no secret those teams aren't led well.

    could be the right way to go. i think it depends on who's on the floor at that time. i imagine that gg will play whenever harden or gordon sit, in order to keep at least 2 shot creators on the floor at all times. assuming our backcourt gets 40 minutes each thats 16 minutes at guard for gg, with maybe another 16 coming in a small lineup while clint sits. those "other 12 minutes" we speak of is probably while luc gives a rest for ariza and tucker.

    if that's the case, those guys don't give us much on offense besides spacing. if luc can play D and space the floor like them then i say keep our game the same. if they decide not to respect his range and the lane starts closing on our guards... then i'd agree with limiting the amount of possessions played with that lineup.

    Toronto offered more money, he CHOSE Houston instead.

    I can’t truly remember about ariza but I just don’t think they could afford him at the time for his cap hit before the salary spike.

    Well thank god. Those two are barking out orders left and right and have the defense in pristine form. Houston defense is peaking at the right moment.

    We need one more dominant defensive effort in the next two games and the Rockets will slay the current NBA super team.

    The Warriors are showing signs of PANIC the last few games.

    -Hack a Capela
    -Mental Mistakes late in games
    -David West being inserted in the 2nd quarter in game 5.
    -Steve Kerr voicing concerns with Kevin Durant's style of play
    -Steve Kerr admitting he sounded crazy about liking where they stood

    Panic is in the air.

    Houston's defense is peaking per game.

    They have adjusted to the Warriors, and the Warriors are kicking and scratching while in Houston's choke hold.

    They are going win this series with or without CP3.

    This is so fun to watch.

    The most promising thing I've seen in the last couple games is watching both Curry and Durant lose confidence in their shot. The Rocket's defense has turned two of the best shooters in history into navel gazers. Unfortunately Harden seems to have have lost confidence too (going 0-11 from 3 will do that to you). Who wins in games 6 is depends on who gets it going from the outside.

    The champs are staggering, time for the knockout punch.

    So the redound girl after “the one” is sometimes the right one?

    It's all about timing. The one you're with presently is always the one.

    Until she isn't.

    Superstitious much?

    It's ok, so do I. I have a favorite Rockets mug that I have to have beer in the whole game if we are to win.

    Eric Gordon 16 points on 6-8 FG, 4-4 on threes. What a great first half!
