    Yes and their stars started falling like flies, although they were seriously acting like they still didn't care haha

    Because the 50-5 Harden/Paul/Capela core said no.

    ****, if I was on that team I wouldn't care either. They have the tools. They've done it before. They believe. 1st seed. 2nd seed. Doesn't matter...

    Warriors are too focused on winning a championship to remember this - enough @hakeem94

    Was this meant for someone else? My post was stating: they cared as much as they have ever cared about winning games, and they tried to take the #1 seed and they failed, and it wasn't for a lack of effort. Then they acted like they never tried to turn it up lol

    I don't understand why it doesn't matter to you, but it scientifically/mathematically/statistically/factually matters, and more importantly it mattered to the Warriors.

    Seriously sleeping on the Rockets, and it will be to their detriment. GSW and Rockets are either 1 or 2 in both offensive and defensive efficiency in postseason.

    GSW is doing it playing beautiful basket, coaches by first or 2nd best coach in NBA and led by 4 future HOFers, 5 guys with multiple All Stars and 3 MVPs. GSW has been most talented team in last 4 seasons concluding in 2 championship trophies.

    Rockets are producing at near or same pace THIS post season with much less talent.

    Rockets D and O was set up to defeat GSW, I for one believe we win it all. I believe in this team, the chemistry is near perfect.

    Exactly. The idea that the opponent defense can be flexible no matter who they guard is a myth. MDA is in the business of changing the game inside the game, which in this instance means: if the Warriors are so good at switching 1 to 5 against NBA teams, then MDA will put a line up on the floor that does not look like an NBA team.

    We will go extremely small. Our small guys can post up and our big guy can run like crazy. We're not going to just play into what the Warriors have been dominant at doing: locking down a typical NBA contender.
