Stephen A. Smith reacts to Rockets Beat Warriors in Game 2

So the new narrative is that Steph is not prime Steph now?? So who was that jamming up the Pelicans in their last series??

Calling BS on the media backtrack and excuse making.

 

Exactly opposite of what he said after game 1.

 

Course Smith still throwing shade at Harden, so predictable.

 

Exactly right. I am so tired of this BS. They never watch the Rockets play so they make up these BS narratives and then complain when they are told they are full of ****. The first two games were the test. The Rockets didn't pass but they didn't fail either. They can repeat what they did tonight and to dispel another stupid media narrative the Rockets play and shoot better on the road it seems. I don't think they will have an energy problem now that they are acclimated to what they have to do. In the last game the team knew James was hot and kind of fell into that laid back groove early and never put on the pressure. I know the media was in love with the idea of the sweep and cannot fathom Houston going there and beating them but I will tell you right now if the Rockets win Game 3 decisively the Warriors will be scared to death. I predict a close Game 4 with Harden closing it out late. If those two things happen the Rockets are winning this series. I predict at least the Rockets split there. Then as always Game 5 decides the series. Even if the Rockets win the series the media will say they were lucky and that Steph wasn't right. You already know the excuses. Draymond is going to do something else before the series is out. You can already tell. They looked very desperate at the end of the game and the refs will do nothing. Next time D'Antoni better unleash Black.

 

Tucker stepped up big and he is thicc.... but I guess Ariza can't keep that up every night due to age and Luc can still play one side of the ball.

So it remains to be seen what Gordon, CP continue to do this series.

 

There is a narrative that GSW have the best off the ball movement and overall ball movement.

They will come out and do just that, I think they will go down declaring they are the best team with ball movement. If they Turn the ball over by 20, they are going to go down more easily.

 

And Morey will say something after this game. Well see

 

Curry is still injured -- SAS

yet, him stinking it up has nothing to do with the Rockets making him play defense as a game-plan. smdh

 

From another thread .... but relevant:

 

We can get a split on the road. The 4 day rest gap will be good for us. Keep the pressure on Curry and Klay. Force Durant to drive. I hope Gerald will step up against Swaggy by playing some defense. We need the Prince to get going for sure. Let's go Houston Rockets!

 

Stephen A Smith always reacts
He has a show
That pays him well

 

Four freaking days for the Warriors to rest???

This is such BS....

 

CP3 needs to rest bro

 

He's actually right about Harden at the start. Everytime he got the ball it got stuck to him. The ball movement was better without him, especially in the first half.

If he joins the ball movement next game, I think we can take one in Oracle.

 

Please phrase your take in the form a scream.

 

Yes what about that 44 of 50 pregame 3pt drill tho

 

It's all about having trust in your teammates. James saw the difference between Game 1 and 2.
I think he will look to get them involved. Hopefully, he will find the right balance, and play good defense.

 

Agreed. I’d react too for 5 million a year. It’s literally his job to react.

 

when stephenie loses, she's still hurt...when Harden loses, he's a choker
