[WC First Round] (1)Golden State vs. (8)LA Clippers

Sorry, but that is wrong. I started watching basketball in the late 1980s when my then-boss took me to see the Nets vs Bulls in the company box at Continental Arena. Nets surprisingly won that game, but it was still amazing watching Michael Jordan play.

 

Not good for the Rockets cos Clippers are not winning the series unless more injuries and/or suspensions hit the warriors badly.

All that this game has done is help warriors focus and get into next gear earlier, while giving them more time to adjust to the loss of Cousins.

Warriors were in their usual arrogant and complacent mode. Such an opportunity would have been better utilized by the Rockets who would have made them pay dearly for it..

 

Holy moly. Went to bed when the score was 93- 63 and woke up checking the score and this was my reaction

Spoiler

 

Well, now you have to do this.

 

I was tired last night and went to bed when the game seemed to be over. I'm glad to wake up to a clippers win this morning.

 

Are the Warriors even worried about Cousins being injured? It's not like they exactly needed him throughout the season.

 

The melt down explain for those who are like me, "What the H E double hockey sticks just happen this morning" lol

 

Nothing would please me more than to see the Warriors knocked off in the first round by the Clippers. The narrative coming out of this is that the Warriors took their foot off the pedal and let the Clippers back in it. Whatever the case is, momentum has been disrupted. Win that game and the series ends in 4, maybe 5. Now we have a series that could certainly change - a confident clippers team headed home against a Warriors team that is reeling and easily frustrated (they have always had the poorest composure in the league).

 

Huh?! This was a great game for the Rockets. The Clippers have guaranteed at minimum that the Warriors are playing through Game 5 next Wednesday. On top of that, they lost Boogie possibly for the season. And I don't wanna hear anyone give me that BS that they're better without him. His absence completely changes a potential series with the Rockets given how much trouble Capela has with him.

 

I’d be more pleased by seeing the Rockets knock them off in the second round.

 

31 points lead choke and 3-1 lead finals choke.... Get it? 3 all stars plus 1 snake are definitely the Worriers

Hrmmm

 

I agree. This was very good for anyone planning to play the Warriors in the next round. The more games they have to play, the better. I do think this will wake them up but that doesn't mean LAC can't take another one. Cousins torched us in the last regular season game against the W's. He's not a good match-up for Clint, IMO.

 

Wow. That CP3 trade wasn't really all that terrible for the Clippers.

Have to admire Bev and Trez for the way they play.

 

Probably so.

But benching Bev wasn't an option then. You heard him after getting traded by us, he thought he was more of a true PG, than he in reality, is more of a defensive mauler PG that needs to be set up to score.

He wouldn't have taken a benching lightly.

 

Nah, but they will certainly use it as an excuse for any struggles

 

Kd needs a burner account

 

This is going at least 6, the Clippers are going to win at least 1 in LA.

 

Didn't see this coming tbh, i'm actually shocked, but don't get your hopes up, it's going to be a 4-1 with 20 points per game in Warriors favor.
