Anyone seen those bad habits of Chris Paul. He is really desperate to get that western conference finals. Referees never called even one.

Golden State taking the steal at Houston homecourt. Durant really made me Wow.

It is really different when it is at the Playoffs. Even Boston have to change the way they defend. A lot of switches justso they could match every star player.

KD is the best player of the game in Game 1. KD and Thompson are on fire at the game and Curry did what he must did although the 2 did more that made them win the game. They have neutralize the three-pointers of the Rockets and didn't made that many threes compare to Warriors. Moreover, only Harden is the only player who are moving that much. The rest are just standing base on some of their possessions. They must defend KD even more so that they have the chance to win game 2.

As I have said before, Kevin Durant is a big factor and he can get early and score, there's a high chance that the Warriors will win the game. He's the only consistent player from the 1st quarter up to the last minute, hitting clutch after clutch. We all notice how tight Chris Paul is, maybe he's really desperate to impress the crowd however, they are facing the best team in the West. It's really hard to play Kevin Durant because he's tall and can shoot and penetrate as well. And you can see that when there is a rotation, Durant always took advantage by making those fade away shots.

Yes that is what I said about CP3. By impressing the crown he is also losing the game and did not even notice it. He is too hot-headed and that is not how you should play in the Finals. He should really cool down and make the plays if he really want the ring.
That steal of Game 1 makes a huge difference in the confidence of the Houston team. Game 2 might become a snatch again.
Although Curry didnt make much points, just being there gives the team a huge confidence and also he did good in the rotation. He just keeps on moving, sometimes I dont even notice he is on the other side that fast.

I see that Curry and Klay has somewhat having a off-night. So I'm expecting the Splash brothers to pour on the next game. We all know that Durant is really capable of what he has shown us in their first game and I'm sure that he will continue to do so. It feels sad though that P.J. Tucker did everything do really control KD, but he is too good. It GSW can steal Game 2 then they dig themselves deeper. On CP3, I did he did choked on Game 1.

Curry had a single three pointer in the entire game which got me thinking that he isn’t all the fit since he returned from injury even despite that, the Warriors won the which make me believe that they are eventually going to win the Championship again this year.

Actually I noticed that when Curry came back to play after the injury, he was somewhat showing a so-so performance, still good but not the Curry that we all know just a few years ago. He and Klay was missing a lot of shots which they usually do make, its automatic to them.

I saw when Chris Paul was attempting to foul Durant while coming down with the ball from a rebound in his end of the court.
Didn't know he was such a dirty player.
He elbowed him while his back was turned away from him and got him in the back side then the back of his leg, which I think he was going for.
CP3 I think was hired as the muscle in which Houston was looking for.
More of an enforcer so in order to double team their opponents from what Harden is known for doing in drawing the fouls by doing questionable things during a game.

To muscle other players? I doubt it, he was too small to be a enforcer to begin with. He was really frustrated against Durant. He can't guard him, actually no one from Houston can. Used to see him watching those kind of antics while he was still in Clippers. For me its more of a frustration on his end though.

The impression is that Houston needed at least one more player to score high cause Harden can not win the game all by him self. On the other side, Thompson contribute and helped Durant and GSW to make the break. Green was very nervous, he really gambled with second technical foul. Despite his temper, he need to stay as calm as he can, he is very important player for Golden State team.
Players that has job to guard Durant has to watch duel between Miami and Ocklahoma in the finales from few years ago and to see how Battier did that almost flawless. On the press conference, when they asked Durant what does he think about the defense that Shane plays on him, he said: `I hate it`. Full Stop. Cheesy

There is one more time, another elbow after the rebound I think and it was Klay who was almost reached by it. Good thing he dodged it.
Desperation can do a lot of things. But in basketball it could also lead to a game where you will lose because of that madness.

Foul troubles have been also the key in the 3rd quarter. Ariza getting 5 fouls is a loss to them. We know Ariza is one of their good defensive player with all the steals that he gets.
He came in at 4th very careful to not be fouled out. The defense became weak afterwards.

Those fade away shots are killing the Rockets. Chris Paul just could not defend that shot and Kevin Durant can score whenever he wants to. Clearly James Harden needed all the help scoring wise from his team mates in order to win the game because he alone can't score 75 points.

Well i would've wanted to see a boston vs houston finals but with the looks of it, gsw would be too much for houston to handle. Harden can score all he want but the warriors have just too much firepower and yeah they're going to have hell trying to defend durant all throughout the season

LeBron is on the mission again this year, and for you guys who thinks Celtics can overcome the Cavs, well sorry to say but the chances are very low without their 2 superstars. Experience has a higher winning percentage. Remember what happened with the OKC in the 2012 NBA finals? That team was stacked with young talents, but they lost because they dont have experienced the pressure and atmosphere in a playoff championship game.
It wouldve been a good competetive match up if both teams have a healthy roster.

This is like a history that is written and will just repeat itself. I was once a fan of Boston Celtics but if we'll see and check the line up, experience and path on who's going to the right one, Cavs is the clear one that's going through. I like to assume that this can be the same as last year that Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers will face again in the finals but this season will be for Cavs.

Lebron is very consistent in the East so I have to believe that they will easily win against the Boston this year.
If only they have Irving playing with them now, they might have a chance to win against the cavaliers as they have the home court advantage, but sadly Irving was injured so their chance of winning is very low now.

From the past round, Boston really struggles from some plays. IMO, correct that Lebron's consistency could lead them to finals. But I think Boston will put a little fight in the end of the East Finals.

But my team is Gloden States. Say Hi to the Warriors fans here. Hooooo!!!! Roll Eyes

Ahh no. Not a Warriors fan! Embarrassed

Just kidding. Wink

I can not see them going far since they have Curry who has soft ankles and everytime I see him jumping for the ball I always see in my mind him twisting his foot again and being out for the rest of the playoffs.
We have all seen how the Warriors perform without their leader at the helm and against a healthy Cavaliers team, they do not have a chance to go on to the finals.

They already know what Stephen Curry's injury of course. Coach Steve Kerr will prevent him to take strong from the paint. With the help of Durant and Green from their defense to Lebron, he will be immobilize in case Cavs will go to conference finals.

What I was getting at was if Stephen Curry rolls his ankle again, which could be very easy for him to do on any play being run, the Warriors are done.
They might as well kiss their chances to even get to the finals goodbye.
Curry is their team and without him not even Kevin Durant and Draymond Green can save the team from going down with depending on defense alone.
https://sports.yahoo.com/draymond-figured-knows-series-comes-184444138.html
We will need to see how he does against Capella in the Houston Rockets match up first (https://www.sfchronicle.com/warriors/article/Warriors-Rockets-matchup-to-watch-Draymond-Green-12908341.php) before talking about even meeting up with Cavailers when they run over Boston first. Wink

And the Warriors win the game. Although Clint Capella really get a piece of Stephen Curry even Durant was block by Capella, but team effort's was the key to win against Rockets.

Look at their bench scoring, all of them contribute from the game.
