    Something feels weird about this Houston team right now.

    I wouldn't be all that surprised if they pushed it to Game 7.

    Something in the air.

    i think so too.

    Something about this Warriors team just doesn't feel right.

    They are not a championship caliber team. They have no heart.

    what makes you say that? What have they done to show they have no heart? Any team that wins 67 games in the Western Conference is championship caliber.

    Beating a hardass team like the Grizzlies took a ton of heart. If they cant win this series though,ill have lost all the respect I had for them.

    How does a team play well in the first two, barely losing them. Then they go home and roll over like dogs. Then down 3-0, they play their best game of playoffs to avoid sweep? This is a half ass backward team. They could win tonight or lose by 45! Unreal...

    I propose we determine some metrics to measure "heart"

    (#tatoos per player average + body surface area covered by tattoos)× ((#babys mamas per player + technicals/gm) x flagrant/gm))/ (#European players per team + injury time missed/gm)

    Yep, Warriors are not the Clippers. Golden State takes a page from Cavaliers' book and ends the series tonight, so as not to give Cleveland a big rest advantage before Finals.

    I feel that way too. They can win by 20 or lose by 20 tonight. They have the ability to blow a team out on any given night. They came back from a 19 point deficit in the 3rd qtr down 3-1 to the Clippers and still prevailed.

    They only lost both games 1 and 2 by a combined 5 points in Oakland. Anything is possible. I'm hoping the Rockets can become The Boston Red Sox of the NBA by winning a series being down 0-3.

    Josh Smith scores 22+ they have a chance. If he doesn't... game over.

    This is spot on. Josh Smith is the x factor. When he's on, he's on, but when he's off, God help the Rockets. He was hitting every 3 point shot in sight during game 4. The first 3 games, he was nothing but an anchor. Same thing happened in the Clippers series. He's a feast or famine player. The Rockets better hope it's Thanksgiving for the next 3 games.

    Just put the regular season in it's place for a moment.
    The NBA regular season is nothing but a big fly-around and jump around
    for entertainment and fan chatter. It's a business. Once Golden State started winning
    a lot, they went for the Western seed 1. That's appropriate, and makes them feel
    like they are part of something special, and increases their worth as players, etc..
    But the competition level is different in the playoffs. Now it's mano e mano because
    the ring is within distance. This is what you play for, what you dream of, why you
    started devoting your life to basketball. Let's forget the regular season for a moment
    and look at the rosters. Kerr and McHale are a wash. If I gave you these rosters just a
    couple years ago, who would you say wins ?

    Harrison Barnes.
    Draymond Green.
    Andrew Bogut.
    Stephen Curry.
    Klay Thompson.
    Lee, Ezeli, Livingston, Iguodala, Barbosa.
    -----------vs-----------
    Josh Smith.
    Trevor Ariza.
    Dwight Howard.
    Jason Terry.
    James Harden.
    Jones, Capela, Prigioni, Brewer

    It is very recent that basketball experts would choose Team A looking at these rosters.
    Team B brings more experience.

    What's happened in the Western playoffs, really ?

    Golden State beats New Orleans, a nothing team.
    Golden State beats Memphis, a grinding team offensively challenged.
    Houston beats Dallas, traditionally an elite level team.
    Houston comes back from 1-3 to beat the Clippers, a very talented team.

    Strength of Schedule in playoffs advantage: Houston.
    Experience advantage: Houston.

    Is it any wonder Team B scored 128 points in the last game ?
    One Hundred and Twenty-Eight points.
    Houston thinks they can win this. Get in, get out,
    win again at home..... just do it. Just Do It.

    Howard is killing them. He has scored on only 34% of his post up possessions in this series.

    He is playing hurt, I guess, and it shows big time. Aside from the physical effort issues, he is making fundamental mental mistakes.

    He plays hot potato with the ball, and looks confused a lot after his dribble is killed. Looks afraid to make mistakes with the ball. Often out of position for rebounds. Tremendous looking shoulders and physique, but just a cancer.

    They were and are a better team without him, they play faster, shoot better and actually rotate on D.

    Did you even follow the nba season? Dallas was an absolute fukking mess in the playoffs. "Traditionally elite team" lmao.

    And what does comparing what these rosters were worth 2 years ago have to do with anything? Game is taking place in 2015 dumbfuk
