    [Great News] No one has misspelled Capela, today, anywhere on the bbs.

    Keep it up, Clutchfans. We need to fockass during the game and watch out for the fumbling of player names!

    I'm sure I'm jinxing us for an early misspelling, but just so excited about our preparation, so far.

    fwiw: Tilman has been misspelled 8 times today....thx to the Supreme Court/Gambling news.

    Houston's defensive Philosophy.

    I have a feeling they are going to take away the long jumpers and funnel them to Clint.

    Take a page out of Utah's book who whooped GSW 3 times this year.

    Funnel shooters to Gobert. Funnel Shooters to Capela.

    Hope they are doing some stretches on their sphincters.

    Tights sphincters Q1 will lose this game quick as blink.

    I don't really have strong thoughts on Max Kellerman. I hear lots of commentators talking about the game, some favor the Warriors, some favor the Rockets. I take all of that with a grain of salt. The Warriors are great. The Rockets are great. I believe both teams have a good shot to advance. Win or lose, I think this will be a fun, stress-inducing, and high-scoring series to watch.

    Some on this board may disagree with me, but I really hope there are no significant injuries to players on either team. I would rather the Warriors face a fully healthy Houston team for the entire series, even if it means they lose. I can't speak for most Warriors fans, but the ones I know respect and fear the Rockets and are impressed with how well CP3 has meshed and the other pieces that Morey has put in place.

    So not happy with the refs situation, BUT I've never felt this solid about our squad. I can't wait til 8!

    Anyone else see this game as house money.

    My head sees GSW winning in 6. My heart of course is for the Rockets.

    I get to actually sit back and enjoy these games now.

    Lose to Utah or Minnesota and CP3 may bolt.

    Now you know he is coming back after getting to the WCF and you have a chance to leave the media speechless and Harden/CP3 get to cement their legacies.

    So excited for the games.

    Can’t find where I read it but a GSW fan had a detailed analysis of their offensive efficiency taking a hit when Foster refs them. Pretty good read. I think Foster is a bad ref in general. I don’t think it helps either team any more than the other. If anything, him calling fouls will slow down their pace which plays to our hand and lets our defense get into position.

    Just remember everyone, if the Rockets lose tonight, they will get swept...but if they win tonight, they will win a tough 7 game series

    Watching Kerr talk to the media at practice. That dude is so smug.
