    Good, glad Barkley is picking the Warriors. He doesn’t have a good track record with his picks.

    Who is going to stop the lobs to Capela?

    JaFail McGee? This is the first matchup where Capela has an advantage -- yet he has outplayed two higher rated bigs in the first two rounds.

    I hope Pelicans win tonight. Then watch how Chuck and Shaq try to spin their stupidity.

    I think if we lose game 1 of wcf we will lose the series. We gotta come out strong and take advantage of home court. Rockets seemed off all playoffs except a few spurts of there regular season self.

    LOL at people blaming Harden for getting the flu. I won't use the terms I'd like to, but ask nicely for you to find something less depressing to do if you're not glad now that CP3 just had this historic game and we're finally set to face the Warriors.

    Yea probably Harden didn’t say anything. So maybe he did or just just got Harden back so people don’t question him or he will tell him to not worry that he got him this time. And just move on n focus on the warriors

    @tinman your boys are laying down some solid science.

    Did you know the Rockets just stand around and take turns? Practically anybody can stop it.

    There's only one ball guys! This partnership will never work.

    I’m sure we’ll test the waters in
    game 1. We can use all the firepower we can get from our bench..

    "Golden State shows up to play every single night."

    Except for that one game against the Pelicans.

    And that one game against the Spurs.

    They're pretty much talking the script the "realists" on this board has.

    Tough to be a fan.

    Shaq just said "the Miami Warriors"

    LOL

    If we beat the Warriors, everyone is going to say we have no hope against the Cavs and LBJ or Brad Stevens

    Chuck: Even in the 2nd half, there was no sense of urgency & bailed out by Chris Paul. Golden State will be rocking & will go for the knockout punch early. Mitchell doesn't get hurt, it's a pick 'em down the stretch. I expect this Golden State game to be over quickly.

    Kenny: When they're(Golden State) all there, rarely do they have mental lapses. They play with a mental purpose every night. You don't need to get them up to play. They come to play every night & are so dangerous.

    Chuck: Houston is a great city, great team. I want to see the Warriors get pushed. I'd love to see a 6-7 game series but I don't see it.

    Shaq: We shall see. I don't want to call the Rockets out. Rockets have HCA but Warriors don't need it. We'll see if Houston can bring it up another notch. I don't know.

    JR they stand around and take turns.

    I actually thought this was their October 2017 analysis being played back on a loop.

    Yah but that's US. I can talk ish about my girl, you can't talk ish abt my girl. Lol

    I agree with what they're saying, but they wafer between one extreme position and the other. We either have no shot after we play poorly, or we can't be stopped when we dominate...there are no qualifiers with their statements.
