Warriors...

I just don't see how they defeat the Rockets.

They are playing uninspired. Have little communication and are falling apart defensively.

Thy no longer play the beautiful ball that brought them to prominence.

I can't remember the last time klay went off from 3 and a healthy Steff is struggling.

Just don't see how they overcome this by next series.

You are clueless as a basketball fan-
Match ups make series - and the clippers are a tough match up for the warriors- but will be blown out Friday

U remember the bulls and the bullets with Rod Strickland ? They went the full series of 5 Gabe’s in i tough tussle - the bulls prevailed and won the chip-

Know basketball before talking basketball

The warriors will beat the rockets in 5 games and sweep the team they meet in the conference finals

Warriors are notorious for playing down to the competition. Losing Cousins hurt but I wouldn't be surprised if Warriors decimated the Rockets. Or lost.

Steph is a great shooter and will always score points...One of this team's best assets has been their ability to score when needed , take the lead and tear down the confidence of the opponent. Steph and klay has been unable to do that consistently this year.

In years past, with such little tile left at home with the game tied, this team would have won easily. Missed shot after missed shot ensued. This is not the first time and has become a huge issue.

Am not sure this is simply a matter of playing down to competition. This team lacks the essence that made them great.

Btw, what makes a team a tough matchup when you have the game in hand and miss three pointer after three pointer? What matchup is it exactly that is causing these wide open bricks?

last i checked the Rockets are an even tougher mathchup for this team and will shoot threes at an even greater clip than the Clippers did last night!

Match ups make series


Spot on. I agree with you.

However, I still wonder how much effect that spat between Green and Durant is having on the psyche of the Warriors.
Being an optimistic Raptors' fan, I am forcing myself to believe that there is a widening crack in the Warrior's armor. smile
