Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

I'd classify giving up 110 points per game during the series that way. The total number of games the series ends in doesn't tell the story of the series.

You could say that about the regular season as well.

Sorry guys I'm going to sit here and post every bit of regular season Houston-Warriors match up. Lol

True but I'd at least expect "fits" to quantify more than one loss.

Never the less i fear the Warriors are too versatile for us.

Doc actually coached his second 3-1 collapse out of 9 in NBA history.

Magic vs Pistons 2003.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

That Magic team was trash and honestly the first year they changed the 1st round format to win 4 games.

This year he had no excuse. He also had a couple of what 19 game losing streaks one with Orl and one with Boston.


That all amounts to nothing but another espn stat for useless banter.

Going forward with no picks now what are they going to do?

They gave the Houston defense fits, for sure. It didn't really matter though, because the Mavs were possibly the worst defensive team in the playoffs. Right next to Toronto and Portland.

Under 45% from the field (including 30% from deep) for three out of five games and under 40% in two of those.

Again, a pretty liberal use of the term "fits". Just one man's opinion tho.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Might as well post my predictions here.

I got Warriors in 5 and the Cavs in 6.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Not sure how to feel right now. Damn it. Someone help me.

Way I see it, we made it pretty far without Motiejunas and Beverly. This may not be our year, but if you could get a quality PG and resign some guys maybe next.

Not counting these guys out though, I've learned my lesson about that. This team doesn't really make sense does it?

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

That sucks for Doc, to lose two series up 3-1....not the kind of history you want to make...

Also, just realized McHale has been in more playoff games then all the other coaches combined...crazy

That's the problem at the end of the day. They were so inconsistent. Even if your a huge fan. You got to be asking yourself are we going to bring vs Warriors. 2 of the biggest questions coming into the game for the Rockets. Will Harden get to the line and will they play defense. Just looking at some of these scores.
98-87
93-105
131-106
126-126
All Warriors wins,

This is why you play the games.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Depends a lot on who guards Curry, but since I think it'll be either Harden or Jason Terry most of the time, Warriors in 5 sounds about right.

Our defense is a huge question mark. I really wish we weren't down two starters.

Dmo really rotated and used the vertically rule beautifully. He's honestly a better positional defensive player than Dwight because of his discipline. Bev brought the intensity and disrupted the timing of team's sets.

Those numbers actually make it worse. I'm just saying when you give up

108, 99, 128, 121 and 94 in consecutive games, whether you win or not clearly the other team is doing something that you simply can't figure out how to stop on defense. Hence giving you fits on that side of the ball.

No it really doesn't man. One minute I'm too disgusted to even care the next I get a little bit of hope. I really wish Beverly was going to be ready same for Donatas. They are such key players (with Beverly being just the right size to at least make Curry work) Ugh I'm legitimately nervous.
