I would like to personally thank ESPN and all it's affiliates, with the exception of JVG, for continuously disrespecting us. It's like 95 all over again all the way down to the dagger by Ariza which was from almost the exact spot as Elie some 20 years ago. Continue to spew the agenda you want and ride the coats. Just need to say the Rockets are here to destroy it all. How fitting that we come down from 3-1 which is one of the hardest things to do and go to the WCF and this is the front page of ESPN. Seriously? Screw you!
To be fair, they're advertising the game they're airing live on television. Viewers > everything else

I knew he wasn't going to do it... but I was so wishing that Ariza would have turned around and done the kiss of death to the Clippers bench.
The Warriors beat us 4-0 during the regular season. The games weren't even really that close. I would completely expect them to be the heavy favorites going into this series. Then again, most of ESPN and the media were predicting the Clippers to win in 6 in this past series. Clutch City! Let's go!
I don't anymore. It has honestly become comical. In fact I went to the site just to see if we would get snubbed.
ESPN keeps bringing up that the Warriors are 4-0 against the Rockets with 4 double digit wins. They can't tout this stat enough apparently. Someone forgot to tell ESPN that what happened 4-6 months ago doesn't mean a damn thing, especially when half of the rotation either wasn't on the team or wasn't healthy. The Warriors are 0-0 against THIS Rockets teams. Let's see what happens in Game 1. I love the fact that we're 10 point underdogs in Game 1. Here's a little secret that ESPN and the media don't know, the Rockets were the #1 defense against 3 point shooting in the regular season. I actually love this matchup against a jump shooting Golden State team that does little else offensively besides chuck shots up. Bring it on.
Yeah because Dwight is so much more better then the other big men that the Warriors already beat this playoff.
If we some how pull off a series win against the Warriors, will we finally get the respect we deserve?
