    Yeah I don't mind Houston, though I'm now cheering for Golden State. I like dynasties, and their players are pretty likeable (with one exception).

    For some reason the only superstar I can't stand is Westbrook.

    The Houston-NY final from 1994 was one of the best final series. Great to see The Dream in the crowd today.

    Green may be a bit of a shit, but he's pretty useful.

    He's definitely a guy you love if he's in your team and hate if not

    I dont mind most of the stars tried to dislike lebron back in the day but hes boss. Westbrook is a beast at times but niggly and melo just annoys me. Makes it hard as i follow OKC as long as adams is there. Green is basketballs gregan (not as great though) but you want him on your team.

    KD i dont hate but dont support wish he didnt jump to golden state. Unbelievable athlete.

    Never been a Harden fan. Couldn’t stand him even when he was a Sun Devil. He can play offence no doubt and D’Antoni’s system is made for his game.

    My like for CP3 has been up and down over the years.

    Capella is a gun. That boy is going to get paid big time soon.

    The big thing for the Rockets will be defending Steph and Klay. Whereas the Warriors will run a good diet of Klay, Livingston and even Iggy at Harden. Steph has usually played CP3 pretty well over the years.

    @magpie_in_aus Yep very cool. Was a shame he couldn't stay in Toronto and stay injury free.

    Meanwhile Celtics just destroyed the Cavs in Game 1 of the ECF.

    Somehow Celtics coach didn't get 1 vote from his peers for coach of the year - the dude is the best coach in the league.

    He doesn't strike me as the type of guy who cares. Very humble, super smart and his players would run through a wall for him

    If they win game 2 the alarm bells might start ringing quietly in CLE

    Right on cue the GSW bid the rockets a welcome to the conference finals by taking home court advantage in game 1

    This whole season was fun, but one wonders if GSW might just stand up and show their class, and in turn giving a big middle finger to the Sixers/Raptors/Rockets/Thunder/Cavs/Celtics/anyone who dared to dream in 2017/18.

    Not really close on paper. They will flick the switch now and it will be lights out for Houston in 5 or 6 games

    The game today was ridiculous. I only caught the first half but it made every other play-off game look like the NBL.

    Big players making big plays, over and over again.

    I fear the Finals will be a let-down compared to this series.

    I can't be bothered starting up a new thread, the US supreme court are in the process of legalizing sports gambling on a federal level. It baffles me as to why they haven't opened it up earlier

    Houston's iso offense was put under serious pressure by the warriors. They forced at least 4 shot clock violations I can recall. GS's team ball is harder to guard

    A big 2nd half from the Celtics to go 2-0 up. LBJ can't win this on his own.
