Should go in Offseason thread.

@dcallamerican this what y’all learning at MSU?

Rockets skepticism aside, they just shouldn't lose Friday.

They only had 6 players with KD and were playing 45 minutes a night a piece essentially. They are down to 5 reliable players and lost their best defender against James. I can't even conceptualize how they win game 6 on the road without the rockets wetting the bed (which is possible )

 

[moe200069]

Outliers happen. Klay/ Dray / Steph could have a historic game 6 and the rockets could lay an egg. Player x (Cook, someone) could have a great game.

That being said, the Rockets HAVE to win Friday. I mean, the playoffs, at home, healthy, the Warriors were depleted depth wise before and that was with KEVIN ****ing DURANT.

The margin of error for the rockets is SO MUCH LARGER now w/o KD that even if the aforementioned were to happen the rockets still should win. The Warriors had six playable players WITH KD. They have two scorers now, one of which can't dribble. On the other end, they lost their best defender against James Harden which should be series. Jerebko, Livingston, Cook, Bogut, I mean...come on bro.

The Rockets should win, rather easily. If not...

easily? you forgot:

If Spurs game 6 happens again I might be out this thread bro. I legit might give up on being this invested ever again

on my ripcitythree emotionally unstable roller coaster **** with steph...cant stand him one second, i'm ayesha the next

I'm not. We just gotta be honest. W/o BS narratives about Harden and CP3 choking and all that, putting together an argument where a KD-less Warriors team win Friday against a desperate rockets team on the road is really really tough.

I can't stress how great KD has been in one on one situations guarding Harden. That's the huge loss right there. We'll see what happens.

Steph or Klay (or both) would have to go 2015-2016 era nuclear for the Warriors to win Draymond would have to play a great game as well. Even then it might not be enough.

When was the last time we had a playoff game where are the old big three all played well? I'm skeptical, especially on the road

He's probably a Warrior fan seeing as he played for Cal.

if he managed to become a warriors' fan while playing at Cal, props to Keenan. warriors were absolutely abysmal while he was playing CFB

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Lol @ harden and cp3 choking being a narrative. It's who they are

 

[akajae]

 

[moe200069]

yall, today is glorious. warriors win, steph byke, and I just watched joffrey baratheon get poisoned

 

[freeze]

Warriors in 6. Book it.

Curry going God mode.

Especially with Ayesha wild'n tonight.

Sheesh.

 

[second2nonee]

Harden had 31-8-4-4 on 76% TS

He ain't do **** in the 4th which makes his performance even more frustrating.

CP being diet Kyle Lowry and Clint being Swiss Omer Asik is just

Yall are acting like the rockets are gonna be on level 10 and the dubs have to play at level 20 to win. Have yall not seen these dudes their whole careers? Did you not just watch this game tonite like the rest of us?

Dubs in 6

I hate Chris Paul. I hope he never wins anything in the NBA. He's washed now and a circus clown with his antics. He need to bounce with dwade and melo. No farewell. Just a solid, go **** yourself you fat little ****.

This is absolutely Suspension worthy...

If Draymond connects his knee cap to Paul’s temple, it could have been ugly.

 

[moe200069]

yall wild with these Clint Capela comparisons

i will say though cuzz has forgotten how to rebound. so basically he's swiss robin lopez

meanwhile CP3 trynna take out Iggy's knees while he's coming down from a rebound. but that's nothing worth noting.

French Dasagna Diop.

Someone check his birth certificate

If you injure your calf bad enough that you can hardly put any weight on your leg, it’s very unlikely that you will be ready to play game 7 after only 3 days rest (if there is a game 7). So it’s pretty likely that KD won’t be back for the rest of the series, at the very least. My guess is around 1-2 weeks for a milder strain and 2-4 weeks for something worse.

 

[bronconation24]

Rockets should still win this series without kd...
