Series Thread: WCF: Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets

Seems like James Hardin can get and hit that step back jumper any time he wants it. I have to admit, he's much better than I thought he was.

Yup top 3 in almost every category in the regular season and postseason although they aren't as sharp this postseason as they were during the season. Turnovers has a lot to do with it. If they don't turn over the ball, other teams aren't scoring often lol

Yea, I though they played better during the regular season as well in regards to TO's. But, if they didn't help the other teams score then it wouldn't be fun to watch! LOL

He's playing out of his mind lol I don't expect him to shoot 60-70% every game

 

[LAD]

If you are talking about Hardin's push in the back of Green on the rebound which started the fast break we agree. It was an egregiuos error by the refs not to call that.

Yeah, he's due for a cool down in the next game. Warriors just gotta play good D on him without fouling and hope that the refs don't call a foul when one didn't occur.

GS can win it all. They have to play better D and limit turnovers. Cavs make teams pay for turnovers.

I think what the Dubs really need to do is stop the goddam turnovers! Its frickin ridiculous

They're giving up 95.5 per game this postseason good for 3rd in the playoffs compared to 99.9 per game during the season, I thought that means that they're playing way better defense cause Ppg means everything right?

they are giving up less points but they are giving up a much higher FG%

 

[Hambombs]

Because of pace they're playing really slow pace. That's what I'm explaining to you they gave more points during the season but made teams miss more.. How does that not go through your brain? lol

 

[Hambombs]

Faster pace= more posessions = potential more points. That's why Ppg is a flawed stat. Warriors are still top 3 this postseason at making people miss. From elite to 1 notch under that.

 

[lakersrule]

So now FG% is important but not PPG?

 

[CitySushi]

Points per 100 possessions is a big factor in defensive efficiency.

Team A: 95 points per 100 possessions. Slows methodical half court offense, slow game, uses lots of clock to control game and opponents have less possessions.
Gives opponent 100 possessions in a game, opponent scores 95 points.

Team B: 90 points per 100 possessions. Fast paced team, scores many points in transition, scores early in shot clock giving more possessions during a game to opponent.
Gives opponents 110 possession in a game, opponent scores 99 points.

Which team is superior defensively?

He doesn't know what to stick with LOL

Obviously B LOL

Pick one, stop going back and forth. U are funny man. True Homer. Love it. Its nice to see your love for your team but pleas stop arguing especially when u go back and forth. Their D has been shaky in the playoffs. Now I give them some credit because obvious the teams they are playing are better then teams they play in the regular season. I just think we are seeing that most people thought that their D isn't as good as they play in the regular season. Kind of like Atlanta isn't that great of a team like in the regular season. Playoffs are a different animal.

I still like their chances and I hope they win in all. Good luck

No I was bringing that up with the other guy. He can't pick what argument he wants to stick with. I was just sating the obvious that GS D is not playing great.

 

[purguy12]

Prediction: GS wins game 3. Why not. They are the better team. Harden has done everything he can to try and win but he isn't getting help. I have GS in 5 but wouldn't be shocked if they win in 4. Same for the Cavs.

GS vs Cavs get ready.

 

[SJ76]

I didn't watch the Clips meltdown on the Rockets, so I can't say if the Rockets can come back on GS or not.

Tonight is must win for the Rockets obviously

Yes must win but I still think it really doesn't matter.

Lets All get ready for GS vs Cavs. These have to be the worst Conference Finals ever. Both might be 4-0 or 4-1.(Houston vs GS have been ok but the outcome will still be 4-1 or 4-0) Not a good look for the NBA.
