Ah man, might be right with that loss to Mavs. Thought they would get a nice winning streak before the break.

Any opinion on the warriors vs rockets tonight, houston-7?

Heritage has a get out at halftime promo on that game tonight FYI

They look better with Butler. It takes weeks for a new star to integrate with a new team. Butler gives them another option to Curry. Is it enough to win a title, no, I agree with you but they could upset somebody in a 1st round matchup.

I didn’t know it was a get out at half promo. I have courtside seats to the game tonight.

I have no lean on this game. Rockets were in a mini slump but may have recovered the last couple of games. I would probably play the home team and the -7. Warriors star players are older on a back to back and traveling, so Rockets are the smart play to me. Should be a great game tonight. Can’t wait.

I was leaning Rockets because it is the 2nd of back to back road games but GS played in Dallas last night. Dallas to Houston is not even an hour flight in the same time zone but I guess it is still travel.

I watched the rockets-suns game yesterday. Hou is well coached and better defensive players than most teams but they are dealing with injuries, just checked Eason is now out after having a monster game yesterday. I'm not sure how butler looks in GS right now but will be tuning in later today to see.

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 02-13-25, 12:58 PM

After waffling, ended up taking Houston-6

Eason out is big. I need to check the injury report.

-1.5 now. I can't bet this shit until two seconds before tip. Always some guy whose balls hurt not playing.

Looks like I'll be bowing out.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 02-14-25, 12:04 AM

The Rockets are too undisciplined without Vanfleet running the offense. What a shit show tonight. Amen Thompson with just 4 points? WTH? They made a nice run in that4th quarter only to dumb shit in the end. How many guys are going to jump out, leave their feet on Curry. Dumb.

im so glad I got out of that bet at half. Easy choice. Houston traffic is so horrible. It took 1.7 hours to get to the parking garage. I had a separate suite that they didn’t have food or drinks because of some issue. I should have stayed home. They want to sell me some upcoming playoff packages. Hell the Rockets might not make the playoffs playing like this. Haha. These games are becoming a hard sell. I can stay at home with all the food and drinks you’d ever want.

**IBetYou** · 02-15-25, 12:19 AM

Warriors are just missing that Euro guy of size & skill that they had in prior championship runs. They'll be better when Kuminga returns, but with a lineup of Butler/ Kuminga/ Green logging major mins in the big games (maybe Payton at the 2 even) that's a poor shooting team.

Markkanen would have been a much better fit that Kuminga but I guess they didn't have enough to push the trade through.

**IBetYou** · 02-15-25, 12:21 AM

Lakers are the better dark horse imo. That 3-prongued attack of Doncic/ James/ Reaves is going to be really good! Good complimentary pieces also (DFS, Hachimura/ Knecht). Normally when a team makes a trade of such magnitude they're depleted.

**Headsterx** · 02-21-25, 05:46 PM

Going to the hoedown
In Sac-town
To watch the Warriors do the beatdown

Warriors -2.5

**Headsterx** · 02-27-25, 03:05 PM

Wariors... come out and play!

Warriors -4.5

**Headsterx** · 03-01-25, 09:59 AM

Warriors are coming for you, Clippers, with that 6th spot!

Warriors -8

Warriors got that covered w/ Quinten Post! Well, he's not European but 7 ft and shoots. Last game scored 18 pts for 24 mins. He's around 40% in 3pt percentage. Post doesn't need to post to score.

Isn't he danish?? This post kid been balling though! he's got a good shot like knecht.

Oh shit, you're right. I knew he was from Boston College so was assuming he was american. Well, that explains everything with his skills and shooting for being a big man. So Warriors got the Big Euro guy covered.

**Headsterx** · 03-01-25, 11:26 AM

Oh no, Butler is questionable for tonight's game.

**Headsterx** · 03-06-25, 08:22 AM

20 games left at #6 spot and 3 behind Rockets at #5. If Warriors can take that #5 spot and meet Grizzlies in 1st round, that would be decent enough. Then face Thunder in round 2. Let’s go Warriors!

**Headsterx** · 03-06-25, 08:23 AM

Oh yeah, Warriors -9.5

**IBetYou** · 03-06-25, 08:56 AM

He's not Danish he's Dutch...

**IBetYou** · 03-06-25, 08:59 AM

Part of a golden generation coming up for the Dutch, although they didn't qualify for the Eurobasket this year.

I kinda think the Lakers and Warriors are the only 2 teams that can beat OKC in the West. You can’t discount their experience. I think Denver can beat anyone in the West but OKC. NBA is all about matchups.

**Headsterx** · 03-13-25, 05:47 PM

New layout but same story… WARRIORS!!!
saw them beat the Kings in Sacramento. Now the Kings are in the Bay Area so should be the same old story.

Warriors -8 (-105)

**Headsterx** · 03-13-25, 11:16 PM

Lakers are falling with LeBron injury but Twolves are right there with the Warriors for that #6 spot. The 4-6 spots are going get crazy to the end. Reminds me of last year battle for 1-3 spots at the end of the year.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 03-16-25, 01:13 AM

Warriors are 14-1 since acquiring Jimmy Buckets. Yes, they have beaten a lot of dogshit teams but also beat a few good ones like the Bucks and Knicks twice.

**Headsterx** · 03-17-25, 09:05 PM

Joker is out! Warriors winning tonight. From -4.5 to -11.5 fav! And Rockets losing right now. All Warriors need for a great night is Lakers to lose.

**Headsterx** · 03-18-25, 07:54 AM

Ugh! 3 players out for Nuggets and Warriors lose at home. Rockets and Twolves also lose and Warriors couldn’t capitalize off their losses. And the worst part is Lakers won. Coming down to the stretch.

**Git Lo** · 04-08-25, 07:44 PM

Wild seeing a lot of people jump ship after a loss to the rockets. They hold curry to 0 until he hit a buzzer beater to end the half and just played suffocating defense but only win by like 10 but in gs.

**Headsterx** · 04-08-25, 08:18 PM

Glad Warriors still have Kerr… hello Grizz and Nuggs

**Headsterx** · 04-10-25, 11:32 AM

Warriors as huge favs last night are now #7 seed after losing to Spurs at home… ugh!

**dhristov211** · 04-10-25, 01:31 PM

So #8 seed gets OKC in first round, so it's clearly the worst seed in the West

The second round, OKC gets #4-#5

Therefore, these three seeds are the worst - and these seeds are OK: #2 #3 #6 #7

Warriors will do well if they stay at 7, instead of 'advancing' to 4 or 5
