You think Houston would beat this lot? grin. I have a soft spot for Rockets(they were my Fav team growing up because they had Dream) but let's be realistic here shall we? cheesy.... No way is Houston topping this current Warriors team barring an injury to either Steph or KD.

Ask him his Cavs team of last season against this Rockets who his money is on.

The Cavs of this season against the rockets of this season my money is on the Cavs. The rockets were built to beat the warriors, outside of that LeBron will dominate a series against the rockets. They have no answer for him.

So you think this current Cavs team would beat the Rockets never mind GSW in a best of 7 series? grin grin. You must be having a laugh there mate. Lebron would be the reason they might nick one against GSW or 2 against the Rockets however it doesn't go past that.

Built to beat the "Regular Season" Warriors not the "Playoff" Warriors.

What is wrong with you? He scored 45 points in game 7 and they won inspite of him?

A 26 point triple double is not an inspite of stat, just his shooting that was off. But that just shows you his lofty standards.

They became top dogs because unlike against Indiana they were making shots and if you look at lebrons numbers it's usually assists that keep him from getting a triple double, today because they made shots he got it. They showed up like they should and kudos to them for doing their job. Hopefully it continues.

You are just a shameless bronsexual eruditor.

Stop waffling.

Bron stepped out up 2 and came back to the game up 12 or so. Does not matter how many points he had if the other team is scoring at the same pace when he is there but fritter away when he is off. Why do you think +/- became an important stat recently?

As per yesterday, Bron scores 60 with JR and Tristan Thompson having bad games and the Cavs lose.

I asked about the Cavs of last season.

And yea, that wonderful Cavs team lost in 5 games. So if TT, Bron, Kyrie, Love, JR cannot beat GSW, I would be careful about expressing who I think can beat them.

Don't mind him.

Everyone is just sucking on Rockets prematurely.

By game 60+ of the regular season we had 4 games on Rockets in the regular season. 4 games. Steph's first injury is what decommissioned the whole team. Next KD went out, Klay, Dray and we started dropping games.

Even KD admitted that after Steph got hurt the second time, no GSW player wanted to play again in the regular season. It takes a mental toll on one to win 67+ games for 3 straight seasons and go all the way in Playoffs.

I advise people to stop judging things too much by the regular season.

Cavs bench did well while LeBron stepped out in game 7. Made shots they usually missed until then. An anomaly doesn't negate the countless times he steps out and the opposite happens. Including against your warriors last year. But if you actually think the Cavs won game 7 "inspite" of LeBron, you are even more of a dolt than you've already proven yourself to be.

Lol! Keep yapping about "playoff warriors", like I said. After Houston lights your as s and I banter you lot into crying for your mummies, don't say I didn't warn you. cheesy

The rockets can beat the warriors, the Cavs can't. But the Cavs can beat the rockets.

If I'm saying the Cavs of this season can beat them I obviously mean the Cavs of last season will beat them. What you lot don't understand is that matchups matter a lot in games. Houston can match Golden states shooting. The warriors have Durant to counter LeBron. The rockets don't have anyone to counter LeBron and I reiterate he will dominate a series against them. The pacers are the 5 seed but will probably prove a bigger challenge than the 1 seed, it's all about matchups and if you can't get this you really shouldn't be talking about basketball.

What do I expect from someone who's best analysis is to blame the refs? LOL cheesy

The Cavs of last season and this season cannot beat the Rockets or the Warriors without Steph of this season in 7 games even if they had a 1 game lead.. Argue with Einstein.. undecided
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:14pm On May 02, 2018
The Cavs of this season would beat the golden state warriors if they didn't have Kevin Durant. LeBron single handedly pushed them to 6 without plan and with his most reliable players injured. We know wardell is a choker in the finals and LeBron owns him and every other warrior on that team bar Kevin Durant who is only reinforced by those around him. Bare facts!

The rockets? We'll see them in the finals and you'll see for yourselves.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:19pm On May 02, 2018
These warriors fans think people have forgotten the kind of soft a-s team they support. If Kevin Durant didn't pull the biggest b-tch move in NBA history these bums would still stay blowing leads in the finals that soft curry will stay choking in finals. LOL! These cupcakes have no shame.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:48pm On May 02, 2018
Wardell Curry is the best Point Guard in the world. It's not even close.

All that garbage above is an offpoint rejoinder (and you are churning them out at an alarming rate these days). Lebron is the best player in the world but those games were won INSPITE of his contributions. Stop telling me about how dependent they are on him: I referred to those games.

I don't understand matchups? All these talk is coming from eeking a win against Raptors yesterday? Winning a series or not simply depends on who can guard Lebron or KD? LOL.

Exactly....The Warriors took their foot massively off the Gas when they knew a top 2 seed was all but secured. No point burning yourself out in the RS only to have nothing left in reserve come the playoffs.

That's what I keep saying on this forum. The playoffs are a different animal altogether. There is a good reason why All Star Calibre players(even Superstars) experience a dip in performance come playoffs.

Small fry do you know what "in spite" of means? That would mean though his contributions had adverse effects they still won. How is a 45 point game on 50+ percent shooting an adverse effect? How is a 26 point triple double an adverse effect?

Little does this Guy know I am as much a King James fan as He is but unlike you, I am a REALIST! grin. I can't see a spade and call it a cutlass just to impress folks on this forum. It ain't going to happen. SORRY!

Oh btw I don't support GSW. Never have and never will. I have no affinity to that team whatsoever eventhough I do enjoy their brand of Bball. Heck until recently, I doubt i'd have been able to point to where GSW played on a Map. On the contrary, If I were to choose one team to support, it'll be the Rockets as I was a massive Fan of the Dream growing up.

LOL. But according to you the Cavs won because of the refs yeah? Funny thing is every single 50/50 decision from lebron on ibakas 3 to loves foul on demar to the little things went the raptors way in general.

When you have players like LeBron and KD on a team dum dum stopping them and the matchups against them is a very important factor.

At this point I just have to accept you can't help yourself. You're a clown.

REGARDLESS OF his 45pts in game 7 (as they meant nothing seeing that Pacers were necking it with the cavs). Same goes for yesterday.

You are the type of dyslexic dumbo that reads a word on one page and forgets what it sounds like on another.

And Jeff Bezos of doltishness just means you are the nabob; pinnacle, chief accumulator, tycoon, magnate of...doltishness.

We are going to euthanize that instinct of yours then. LOL

Cavs are up 1-0 in the ECsemis. GSW are up 2-0 in the semis in the west. Houston might go 2-0 today same as Boston celts. Winnner of the Cavs raptors series will play the Celts/Philly winner in the Finals in the east while the winner of the GSW/Pels semis will play Hoston/Jazz.

We wait.
Thanks man. but don't you see this houston rockets as threats to GSW and kelvin Durant back to back nba titles? cos it's sure the ring is still coming to the west.
