    Steve Kerr talks as if Warriors are favored by 10 points every game or something.

    The real Vegas line for Game 1 is Rockets -2. The bookies know what they are talking about.

    Capela will be a none factor. I mean if the Hampton's 5 can take care of Anthony and make it hard, what makes you think Capela is a threat? He got no offensive game other than lobs from either Harden and Paul. But look though, with the Death Lineup out there, you ain't going to see any pick n roll work for Harden and CP3 at all and so Capela is not going to get any easy lob. You're reduced to Harden and CP3 shooting one on one over a single defender which lead to rebound and break for Warriors all game long. Remember, Rockets never face the Death Lineup that much during the regular season games. It's the most lethal lineup in the NBA. No team is able crack it. This is why it is called the "Death Lineup." It suffocate and kill you in whatever you're trying to do with your offense.

    What i am telling you is the TRUTH! The ONLY way i see the Rockets win is hope that Warriors are struggling with their shots...that's THE ONLY WAY!! And here's another TRUTH: The ONLY advantage the Rockets have is HOME COURT ADVANTAGE, that's it! Even that is a fluke to me. Why? Because they play 3 regular season games and 2 out 3 already set up to be played in Houston. If they play 4 games, that's much fairer...two games in Houston and two in Golden State. So even though Houston have a better record, it don't mean anything because they won those games not against the Warriors.

    Anyway, enough of the talk, the truth test is in this series.

    Damn man, I was getting excited about this series too. But now that Mike Greenberg said it won't be competitive, what's the point of watching I guess.

    **** outta here.

    Greenberg doesn't watch any basketball, never has

    How are people thinking 4-5? The Rockets are a 65 win team and 2 not good teams took a game from golden state

    I mean, Warriors played Davis well, but he did average 28/15. Not sure if I'd call that "taking care of him."

    And of course Capela's not going to create any offense on his own (duh). But he did make Gobert and KAT look slow, weak, and immobile. I'm not sure how anyone could have watched Capela's overall activity the last two series and then turn around and say it's unlikely he'll have any impact against a team that has no length.

    Unlike AD, Capela doesn't have to worry about anything but protecting the paint and getting his fingertips on rebounds, which the Warriors will have difficulty stopping, since they'll probably be focusing on other things. Of course the Rockets are going to have to shoot better than usual and the Warriors will have to shoot worse than usual (thank you Captain Obvious). But Capela is definitely an X factor.

    The Warriors have 2 superstars and 2 all stars and a 6 man/Finals MVP. We have the TWO best points guards in the league but it still just adds up to just 2 superstars. EG has dropped 5 ppg and is averaging 32% from 3 despite taking like 7 a game and Ryno is nowhere to be found. You can't really blame people for looking at the talent difference and saying we don't have a chance the Rockets will just have to prove them wrong.

    A disappointment, like building someone a new studio and giving them $6 Million a year to host a show that ends up with worse ratings than a SportsCenter rerun.

    If the NBA final is still Cavaliers vs Warriors, its going to be big disappointment.

    Why do we have to watch this matchup every ****ing season. I am sick tired of this.

    I legit think we may sweep them

    This is what we were designed to do

    Their death lineup is great but how many teams have they really faced where 1-5 are a threat to score?

    Who they gonna cheat on?

    Not to mention they're gonna turn the ball over way more than they have been and they've been turning the ball over a lot

    I wanna hear about their great passing by these talking heads after game 1

    lol

    I bet if the thunder got pass the Jazz, beat us in 7 and come limping into the WCF the media would be going nuts and picking the Thunder to upset the warriors.
