I agree with a lot of points other them being a high TO team, they are 3rd or 4th in lowest Turnovers this postseason. Every other NBA team looks TO prone compared to the Rox.
I voted rockets in 5, but if I were to bet it would be in 6 or 7. It’s definitely me making a bold prediction. But I’ve just been super confident in this team all year.
I looked who voted that option up immediately in order to talk **** to them. Glad it was an accident lol.
This I think is the absolute key to this series. Curry is an embarrassment of a defender when involved in the action. We need Game 5 ultra aggressive Chris Paul throughout every fourth quarter in this upcoming series. There is absolutely no way Curry can do anything to even stop that, and the Warriors will be forced to scramble defensively to cover for his ineptitude. Pounding the ball to try and get Curry switched into the action is going to minimise their easy transition opportunities, especially if Paul continues his ludicrous run of minimal turnovers.
Rockets in 5, another gentleman's sweep. Rockets take two at home, steal one on the road, and clinched the series at home. Rockets will dare Green and Iguodala to shoot jumpers, while defending Curry/Durant/Thompson closely. Meanwhile Rockets will have 4 shooters on the court. Capela will dominate on both offense and defense. Rockets 48-full minutes of elite point guard play will ultimately make the difference.
As great as our team is, I believe the Warriors are going to be too much. Would love to be surprised. Warriors in 5.
This. Curry will be fully exposed as the weakest link on defense every minute he is on the court. Whoever Curry guards can set a up pick for Harden, thus forcing Curry to defend Harden one-on-one.
Maybe if we get hot a couple of games, but I just don't trust our offensive consistency with the way we have been playing lately (considering the Warriors firepower) to believe we will take them to 6 or 7. Hope i'm wrong.
Rockets in 7, I believe we still have another gear that we haven’t yet reached in these playoffs we’re going to need Harden and CP3 to be LOCKED IN at all times in every single game...our role players will have to play at their absolute best the defense has to be on point every single possession, and I swear to God if we hear anything about “lack of energy” at any point in this series... the crowd better be ready too...no empty at tip nonsense, and it needs to be rocking...I can’t wait to go to game 1 also, while I pick Rockets in 7, I could still easily see something like GS in 6 happening...at the end of the day, there’s no shame in losing to GS in 6 or 7...what I don’t want to see happen is some worst case scenario like GS in 5 where we’re clearly not close to being able to beat them
