    Great playoff foul. Nothing malicious, but def no layups.

    I really dont like referees. They tend to soften the game. It was just a foul. Get on with the game.

    I dont think the warriors beat Houston

    but i still want the warriors healthy, so the media can give harden his props as the best player in the league when we beat them

    Sure, they now only have 4 all-stars playing.

    I think the only person on the Warriors I like is Iguodala. I'm starting to not like him.

    Nobody likes to switch everything. They think it's trash lazy defense. It's the only way to contend with these illegal screens..

    But you know the media will reach at cousins as the reason why harden beat the warriors. It will kill them to give harden full credit for taking them out, they will latch onto anything. They were already using the iguodala excuse when we went up 3-2 last year. I want them healthy

    Boogie is their worst system player anyway. The Boogie injury is going to make GSW better.

    Looney has 15 f*cking points because he is tremendous in their system.

    Iggy is older and slower tho. I'll give the Rockets some favor and take 6 games Rockets win.

    I want them injured.. You guys need stop with all that pride. I'll gladly kick an injured GSW when they're down. It still counts. I'm hoping for an ever so slight ankle tweak for curry. He will be fine, but gimpy. I welcome the excuses.

    Four all-stars and one finals mvp will be eliminated in the second round by the Rockets with the one all-star.

    That's how good this James Harden is.

    Do you think Harden will be recognized as the best player in the league if he beats the warriors with durant or curry out lol. This whole season would be a waste of greatness by harden. I want harden to beat these guys no excuses, they still have iggy healthy so this is still basically the same team as last year.

    I never understood the Allstar counts..... yeah sure.

    Rockets have an Ex perennial Allstar in CP3, former borderline Allstar in Eric Gordon.

    Up and coming, maybe Allstar in Capela...... lulz.

    Not being an official Allstar does not make them less talented or less Allstar caliber.

    If you are good, then admit it.

    It does not take away from Harden to say his supporting cast is good.

    They may not be great but they are good enough.

    They just did not play like it in the regular season every game.

    Haha. I was referring to the Warriors comments to last year's playoffs suggestion they would've beat us in 5 if Iggy didn't get injured.

    Naw man, lol. They won't like Harden no matter what. Haven't you been paying attention? Harden just put up MJ/Wilt numbers and he's still not considered a top 5 player. Recognition is no longer required. I mean, I'll still whine about Harden's inclusion into the club, but I'll take a championship going through a half eaten GSW team.

    I hope Curry sprains his index finger on his shooting hand. I hope he develops astigmatism and loses his contacts
