    GSW does have the injury bug that plagued the Rockets for so long.

    But, "they have no bench." Dude...Landry and Jack score 23 ppg combined off the bench. And if Brandon Rush comes back early next year from his ACL, then they have him, too.

    Where you are really disrespecting GSW, is despite these injuries this year, Barnes and Klay Thompson are getting a lot of burn and are improving rapidly. Thompson is a quality player. Every bit as good if not better than Parsons.

    They have three rookies getting quality minutes, two (Green and Barnes) getting major playoff experience.

    Bogut breaking down again almost seems like a case of when, not if unfortunately enough.

    I can see someone dirty like Memphis or Fisher stepping under Curry's ankles if they get any further as well.

    clippy is a several-times-over exposed exaggerator of the NBA based on his personal desires for outcomes.

    Guys like him will turn anything into a ludicrous advantage for the team who they want to win.

    FACT:

    GSW made Pops go small in the 3rd Q and sit Duncan.

    didn't work.

    If we are to believe Pops is a genius, he planned that several days in advance like an NFL coach would.

    didn't work

    So, you got 'sumpin next Coach. Or did you just shoot your wade because you know you are in trouble....as you have done each of the last four playoff years.

    Yep, I was totally wrong, but I still think Jackson is way overrated as a coach. That roster is stacked. I kinda wonder if Lee going out was a blessing in disguise though, seeing as how well they've been playing without him.

    Everyone just looks at their history and assume they must not have talent, but this is the first year they were relatively healthy and that roster is probably as talented as any besides the Heat. Jackson is one of those "player" coaches who will wear out his welcome in a year or two when the team fails to take that extra step needed to improve. You can tell he was clueless when he was an analyst too. Good on him for being able to motivate his young guys though.

    It's awesome seeing Andrew Bogut look like Andrew Bogut again.

    kinda crazy thinking about the warriors getting to the finals..very big possibility. Heat vs Warriors could be awesome or it can be a snore fest with miami sweeping.

    The sound meter for ESPN is almost as dumb as the Dunk Intensity meter in NBA 2k13

    Fun team with young up and coming stars that has a realistic shot at the Finals already. Great fans and an amazing atmosphere to play in. Modernized retro logo/uniforms/court.

    Ya..everything i want with the Rockets.

    I'm sorry, but it's plays like that that make me really hate the "continuation" rule.

    There's absolutely no chance at all that basket should count.
