Not much to see until June. Cleveland and Golden State will play again.
That said, I want to see Denver get the 8th seed. I like watching them more than the other shitty teams. They can take GS 5 or 6 because they can score and Jokic will cause problems. He's fun to watch.
I also look forward to Utah hopefully beating the Clippers. I always enjoy watching them lose.
Hopefully Boston and Cleveland make it to the Eastern Conference Finals. I want to see IT chop and that series will be heated, although Cleveland will win.
Hopefully Houston plays GS for the West. San Antonio is probably better than Houston, but GS always runs the Spurs off the floor.
Saw Houston in person tonight, they are too small. They play Beverley and Williams together a lot and just watch Harden/Ariza chuck it up. Ne Ne is probably the only player on that team that plays physical enough.
All these teams in the West just look like duck-taped money ball wet dreams anyways. I can't think of a single interesting matchup for GS.
I can't stand the way that Houston plays ... they look very beatable right now
Cavs look like they are limping to the finish line ... if they don't watch it they are going to get a difficult road to the Finals ...
Best thing to happen to the Warriors was nobody to believe in them after KD got hurt ... they are the clear favorites
Man i love watching james harden play no homo
hes one of the greatest scorers lol i get his stupid fouls but other then that... great scorer
Harden's obviously very talented and he's done great work getting Houston to where they are this year ... no question on that
Where I struggle with Houston is that they shoot way too many 3's IMO ... last night against the Warriors when push came to shove the Rockets decided to just chuck it from deep whereas the Warriors kept finding ways to get layups and open shots over and over.
I get what they are trying to do with effective FG% and whatnot ... but in the end, it's just not winning basketball at the highest levels.

Pick your poison - either that or Dwight Howard.
I think they made the right choice.
The Dubs (ILTCTTDTWILTD) are still going to boatrace them *irregardless assuming Houston can get that far - which they won't.
To me, it's Spurs/Dubs in the conference finals. I don't see anybody else even seriously in the discussion.

It probably won't them a title but without that style they're an 8 seed. It was absolutely the best decision for them.

I'm not disagreeing that the approach fits their roster ...
But for me this is an identity issue for the franchise and for Morey as GM ... this is the kind of team that he wants. I just don't think that shooting 3's is a recipe for being able to win deep in the playoffs. To win you have to be able to get good shots within 10-15 feet and get to the free throw line.

I agree that Houston probably isn't a real threat. I don't agree the style of play is the problem. It's a talent issue that lead to this being the way they have to play for success.

The Cavs attempted 43 threes last night, and hunting threes have been a part of Lebron's game going back to Miami.

You're chasing the wrong rabbit here.
Nevermind.
