    from a ratings standpoint, it makes more sense for the league to have HOU win game 1. this would pique more viewer interest for subsequent games, while a worriers win would make the average joe casual bball viewer just conclude GS is going to win easy so no suspense no drama just wait for the finals.

    we'll find out monday morning which way the league is leaning when they release the names of the officiating crew

    Kerr is so smug... Hope the Rockets wipe the floor with these guys.

    By very physical with those guys. Make them as uncomfortable as possible. Take care of the basketball. We will be alright.

    Good post I think one reason we switch everything is in one part to cover for harden when klay or curry comes off screens. I've been noticing that even on screens the rockets switch almost like a zone.

    I would like that as soon as a Warrior's shot goes up somebody immediately puts a body on Draymond and boxes him out. I hate seeing him grab offensive rebounds and scoring cheapies. It seems like it happens far too often or at least too often at crucial moments.

    Plus I just can't stand the guy and would like it if that kind of focus causes him to get a flagrant or tech and end up being booted from the game.

    Do we start to practice for conference finals?

    We really need to spend tons of time on shooting practice. If we still shoot poorly like before, the Warriors will destroy us.

    If we play like 65 wins team, and Harden plays like a real MVP, we have no problem.

    CP3 needs to tell below to the team:

    If we could win the Warriors, we will be 2018 NBA Champion.

    Hopefully Harden is working hard on his 3-ball. When his 3 is going he plays with much more swagger and confidence. Defenders play more on him which opens up drives and lobs to Clint. The first few months of the season he was a 40% shooter from 3 leading the league by far in attempts and then fell off with every month. Need him to get that shot back.

    The looming shadow over our entire season. The constant "Yeah but" we have had to hear about alongside any praise we get. The opponent we have made no secret about our need to beat.

    All the levels have been cleared with ease, and we're at last standing before the final boss.

    Let's do this.

    Seems like a lot of y’all haven’t actually watched the warriors this year. Durant is good. Everyone else is rubbish this season.
