Game 5 San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets

+5 for Houston Rockets. I still believe that Rockets will win this match not because of Tony Parker is out or because of James Harden that can carry his team. Rockets will win this match because of the coaching staff and the teamwork.

Game 4 stat: www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400952493
This is an exciting series also better then the other one because it' anyone's game.
Spurs & Rockets going back & forth is a tilt match up.
Much better to watch than GSW or CAVS dominating all the time is just boring to watch.
You are right currently enjoying this match and its very interesting just half time and Rockets leading by 2 points and we have some more interesting time in second half I am also enjoying this and Wizard vs Celtics because two other quarterfinals already ended but very bore all time just two teams dominating
It's a close game and though without Nene in the Rockets line up they were still able to compete and even take the lead in the first half, rockets team is getting better now under D' Anthony, they are very explosive. The line +5.5 was like a gift if the Rockets will cover this and may win SU.

There is still semi-finales to play but I also think that Cleveland and Golden State will play in big finale. It would be one more great series between this two teams. Golden state will have slight harder task with San Antonio/Huston but I think that they are more quality team and they will pass through. However, Miami then and Cleveland now, with Lebron in team are playing their greatest basketball in playoffs and I am not so sure that there is favorite for champion. Golden State has more complete team than last year(Durant,Mcgee,Best...) but Cleveland is playing monster defense in playoff... Very hard to predict but if they get through, we will have a perfect end of the season.
 
People are only looking at Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers to face in the end and this playoff is only about them. But those people are not considering that there are still another teams in the bracket that they should no underestimate because Rockets and Spurs are still considered as big threat.

Those people were under esttimating rockets and spurs because they just don't analyze the both teams great players, and only they can see the current game standing but not the main pillars of the team which is the threat of cleaveland cavaliers to face in the play offs. Better expect for more aggressive games for next days to come and stay tune for the updates, and lets witness how these teams are going to take down each other's ball not to hit the ring shot.
that's really how cav's manage to strengthen their bench so even anyone might got injured still the replacement have the caliber
to play the same, and lebron really impress fans on how he played east can be dominated by cavs and west still questionable
if gsw will.

To me the only disadvantage the Warriors have against the Spurs, Rockets or Cavs is roster depth, they are really thin. I know in the playoffs rotations are smaller and many teams only use 7-8 players but if the Warriors have an injury or two (and I'm not even mentioning Durant or Curry) they can suffer a lot. For example, the loss of Pachulia or Iguodala would hurt a lot. If Cleveland misses Shumpert or someone of that caliber, they have a lot of other guys to cover for him.

No it's not. Maybe here in this thread but try to visit sports related forum and discussion even on social media and you can see that it's not all about Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers.

As from what I see based on the majority of hot discussion, Cleveland Cavaliers is seeing having a big percentage that they will be the team to be reached the NBA finals. But on the West, still it's not yet fully pointed out to Golden State Warrios as San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockers are tough team to beat as what see in their recent matchups.

As a huge Spurs fan, I'm counting on them finishing off Houston, even though this has been an incredible match up!  Hard to deny GSW's prowess; but if we can get past Houston, I'd love to see what Kawhi and company can do!! Smiley

we still have spurs and rockets which both showed competitive plays for sure it will not be an easy game for gsw to grab the west finals again
but you are correct just in case they win this title again surely it will be a re-matched that we all waiting for and with durant i guess it can be a battle of super powers and all time great this season  inside NBA.

I don't think either the Spurs or Rockets have what it takes to beat these Warriors. Granted there could be a couple of injuries that can certainly play a part if they happen but if all teams are healthy enough the Warriors should win, they are looking very good. As for Cleveland, they are unstoppable right now and no one doubts they will be in the NBA finals. Lebron is playing the best basket in his career and we all know what it means. As a Cavs fan I'm a little worried if the rest of the team has what it takes to help him. Irving particularly has been playing very inconsistently all year and he'll be a major key.

Cavaliers and the Warriors roflstamping all their series, in the meanwhile both Houston Rockets v San Antonio Spurs and Wizards v Boston are tied 2-2 and will go for 6 or 7 games, so I don't think there are any doubts that the final will be Cleveland Cavaliers v Golden State Warriors

Also the Cavaliers are better this year despite the regular season performance, they just sweep the Raptors this year, and 1 year ago they "only" won by 4-2, so will be harder for the Warriors this time
Its too early to say that the one who will matchup again is Cleveland and Golden State because both Houston and San Antonio are evenly match throughout the series and James Harden and Kawhi Leonard both have a mvp like season. If either Houston or San Antonio match with Golden State I am pretty sure it will be a tough one for them. The same thing can be said with Cleveland's situation Boston entered the playoffs as the 1st seeded team in the east with what I am seeing they are still playing a good basketball.

Impressive Golden State in these playoffs.
I am convinced that they will win the Ring this year.
Curry-Durant-Thompson-Green-Iguodala is a very strong team.
If Golden State does not have injuries it will prove to be significantly stronger than Cleveland

This is a solid team and I'm also impressed on what they showed for this playoffs. Well I hate to say this but it's very possible that they are the ones again to face in the finals. It's like this playoffs is only about Cavs vs. Golden State Warriors. And hopefully from both teams there would be no injuries so that the finals will be exciting.
I Agree With You Guys, I Think We Will See Another Exciting Final Between Warriors And Cavs, But This Final Will Go For Golden state Warriors
They Will Be Highly Motivated To Take Revenge From Clevland cavaliers.

I'm with your in your prediction man, they play without hesitation and it seems the ball moves very well whenever they play. The cavaliers are good and I don't their capacity but with the addition of Durant it will just make this team more better, all guys on the floor can score and defend at the same time, there is a little chance they will not gonna make it this year.

Yes. I does look like they put all their top scorers in today's game. I just starting watching the game right now and they are at half time and it looks like another blow out by gsw
with them leading at the half by 8 with a 60-52 dominant performance.
I was not be so confident with hitting the button for the warriors to win with the spread -8.5 and change my bet to under 204 live, I think I am dead already. I hope the 2nd half will be a low scoring game but regardless of the scoring outcome I want the warriors to end this series whether they cover or not. I'm tired watching the Jazz fighting against the warriors, it seems like they are being schooled every time they play the warriors.
The Utah Jazz as a group only got to the playoffs this season and if they can keep the core and maybe recruit another solid guard, they can only get better. Props to them for making it all the way to the conference finals and even if they fall short against the more talented, and more experience Warriors team, there's no shame and it will only make them a better team for years to come.
Dude they only went as far as the conference semi finals. anyway, yeah I agree. there shouldn't be any regret or shame for the jazz as I don't think a lot of people expected them to reach this far into the playoffs. the west really is more competitive than the east to props to them

Exactly. This is already a big accomplishment for the Utah Jazz management. Even others didn't give them a chance to win against the Clippers but they did. I think adding a few more players in their core team next year will give them a lot of chances against a lot of Western team like GSW or San Antonio.
