They murdered us coz none of the rockets was able to hit a shot to save their life. But agreed that they are too deep. It'd be amazing if the CAV somehow managed to beat the warriors.
Rockets will win in 7 but if this happened LeBreezus would destroy Curry LeBron is straight up playing And 1 pickup ball against the Hawks.
sad day for Houston.... Man, I want to talk Finals and Rockets in one sentence 3 Games into the 3rd round and this ...smh
Warriors are gonna kill them. Rooting for Cleveland hard though. Cleveland's just too banged up to make it competitive. Warriors in 6 at most.
A cleveland team missing 1 superstar with another star injured, adding on to that probably LBJ's worst team since his cleveland days when he NEVER made the finals and lost to inferior teams vs. a 67 win warrior team umm yeah no way
Curry hit 7 3-pointers. First, JR Smith han meet that number. Second, the Cavs will not allow Curry that kind of open shooting. I know that Curry can hit contested shots as well, but that's what he will have to do against the Cavs, because someone like Shumpert will really keep him working hard. What surprised me tonight was the Rockets poor defensive effort. Cleveland will not allow that kind of rebounding by the Warriors. Warriors are healthy and deep, but Cleveland is the stronger defensive team.
It really doesn't matter whose guarding Curry. He's still going to score. That's not the thing here...the thing is...whose going to guard Lebron? Bogut isn't some big physical Center that's going to make Lebron think about driving. As good as Green is, he's too slow for Lebron. As good as Klay is...he's too small. There is no Kawhi Leonard on that team. Not saying this will be easy for the Cavs, but they have more than a shot here.
Absolutely, the Cavaliers have a shot here. The Cavaliers will never allow the Warriors to grab 60 (!!!) rebounds of which 17 (!!!) offensive. My prediction is that Cleveland will lead the rebounding. The series will be decided at the defense. Curry and LeBron will balance each other out in offense and the rest of the players are pretty equal offensively. If Kyrie recovers, he can easily outplay Thompson offensively and the advantage shifts to the Cavaliers.
I will be cheering hard for LeBron and the cavs. As a life long Rocket fan, I cannot wish well on a team that might sweep on my fav team. Just can't.
a lot of people underestimating the cavs imo. Curry might be MVP but LeBron is still the best player on the planet and it looks like he's peaking right now. Theres no one on the Warriors I would be confident in stopping LeBron. TT would grab boards for them which has been a major problem for the Rockets this series. I just think it will depend on how much Shump and Smith contribute with Kyrie and Love out
It helps when every team you face has multiple injuries while you remain completely healthy, but history won't remember that truth.
Warriors in 5, or 4. The Cavs has to play great to score over 100 against the Warriors' defense, the Warriors has to be bad to score under 100.
