Just like Ariza said in that clip when Curry got switched on Harden, and Eric Gordon said here, the Rockets finally have the playmakers to attack the Warriors weak spot (Curry). You can't hide him anymore. Its a different day.
Harden blows on defense as well. Do they really think this is a new discovery? Curry beats you on the other side of the ball. Curry / Klay / Durant / Green is unstoppable. Their bench is far deeper than anyone else in the league. Give it up, you're setting yourself up for tears in May.
Warriors have 4 players that average over 10 PPG. Rockets have 7 players that average over 10 points per game. Who is deeper? Also, ask Steph Curry about Harden's defense
That's a cute stat. Usage is the reason. If the Rockets had shooters like Curry and Durant, would you want the ball being spread out as much? The Warriors.. And it isn't really even close. I would ask.. but I don't think Curry has ever seen it.
Okay then... Curry, Durant, Green, Klay average 86 PPG. Harden, Paul, Gordon, Capela average 86 PPG. Now, what's the excuse?
You tell me. Why isn't Houston in 1st? I don't want to hear about injuries, GS had plenty. Those 4 are a wash according to you. Even though not a single person would trade GS 4 for Houston 4. So GS bench must be the difference?
You're not going to argue your way into anyone thinking Houston is a better team than GS. It just isn't true. GS can coast their way the rest of the season.. They're playing for another chip.
Rockets are in 2nd because we have played 3 less games than GSW. Simple math. Also, that fluke loss to Boston when they gave up a 26 pt lead.
Hahahahaha! Only you could paint yourself into this corner with Heat fans. Instead of having to somehow argue the Heat are better than the Rockets, which they aren't, we get to argue the Warriors are better than the Rockets, which they are. This is awesome.
Not a fluke. A testament to the type of team they are. And your simple math is simply incorrect. Even if they played and won 3 more games, they'd still only be 35-12 to GS 37-10.
Which also calls into question your numbers from earlier. Lucky for me your argument is so weak or I'd have to confirm.
I said 3 less games were played + the fluke 26 pt giveaway to Boston. That mean the Rockets are only 1 loss behind GSW. Houston owns the head to head tiebreaker, so I hope you are right about GSW coasting....Rockets will take that 1 seed.
That makes this game a lot less interesting. Hopefully Whiteside and Bam can bully their bigs. Do they even have any bigs though?
Hey, as aesop said, I don't want injuries as an excuse. You started this trash talk. Be here at the end of the game.
There was a season the Heat went 0-4 against the Brooklyn Super Nets. https://fivethirtyeight.com/feature...t-4-0-against-the-heat-in-the-regular-season/ The Heat won the playoff series in a gentleman's sweep. Great teams coast. The Rockets are blowing their regular season load and still are behind.
You are bending everything in every post to prop up your team. The point was every good team at the top of the conference has had major injuries over the entirety of the season. Obviously on a single game basis there is an argument to be made if a team is resting starters or has major injuries while the opponent is at full strength. On a team that is weak like Miami, missing our only fringe all star is a valid excuse. If Harden and Paul were out and the Heat won it woild obviously be a less meaningful victory.
Super Nets, lol? They won 44 games. The Heat probably didn't take them serious. GSW took Houston serious. They are their only competition. All you had to do was look at Draymond's Twitter before the game (sitting up there dressed like a fake a** super hero, lol)
That's how I referred to their atrocious attempt at a Big 3. I was at the two games in Brooklyn. They certainly looked to be taking them serious when I was there. You're just making **** up now. You know the Heat didn't take Brooklyn serious. And you're also in GS's heads too and they told you they are taking the perennial irrelevant franchise and roster down in Houston serious during the regular season. Yawn.
I also said “if Dragic starts.” Your team has a HOF pg and a great FT shooter in Harden, we don’t even have 1 all star. Take away our best player and it’s going to be tough. The only way we win is the same way we did the last 2 times...more heart and better coaching.
What is this? You already giving up? Come on, talk that same s**t you did yesterday. 3 in a row, right?
Or you could understand he literally was paid for that tweet.. What is he going to say? "Don't bother tuning in we don't care about these scrubs"
