RandomAct Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I'm lowkey sad that I don't get to see the Clippers struggle to beat a weakened Grizzlies team. I take much joy in Z-bo making Griffen his woman. Also, OKC might be the best matchup for us first round. All of the regular season games were competitive, and Carlisle is going to have Donovan's lunch, coaching wise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Rockets ready to shock the world!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's my foolproof plan for the Rockets to beat the Warriors. Game 1 - embrace the heeldom. Everyone hates the Rockets, so stop pandering to the masses hoping that they'll like you. They won't. Go straight bad boys. Hard playoff fouls. Hurt them. Punish them. They think they're all that. Remind them that they aren't just going to get handed a trophy. Punish them. Each player gets six fouls. Make them count. I'm pretty sure Steph Curry has never taken a punch in his life. Rockets will lose this game by 40, but they'd lose it regardless, so beat the shit out of them. Game 2 - When GS comes out trying to show how tough they are, flop like maniacs. play clean defense, but flop like mad men on all the moving screens. Harden goes for 40 (20-20 FT) and the Rockets steal a shocker. Game 3 - Fight dirty. Make Klay bleed out of his ear again. Stick your leg under every Steph jumper so he twists an ankle. Punch Draymond in the dick. Dwight goes for 20 and 20 and gets ejected for some bullshit, despite all the dirty shit going, he'll still get techs for really dumb shit that's really not all that dirty. This will be the one game that Ariza and Beverley hit threes. Rockets take a 2-1 game. Game 4 - Dwight suspended, and the refs don't call the Ws for anything, and the Rockets can't buy a call. Ws by 40 again. Game 5 - Harden and Dwight somehow team up for 30 turnovers between them. Ws by 50. Game 6 - Rockets dig deep, force a Game 7. Dwight accidentally elbows Curry in the face and Curry nearly dies from the bloodloss. Dwight suspended again. Game 7 - Steph is a gametime decision, eventually plays with a mask. Pat Beverley accidentally grabs at the mask while trying to pick up a loose ball. Harden scores or assists on every single point for the Rockets and plays all 48. Harden scores the go ahead free throws in the final seconds, then blocks the Klay game winner. Steph Curry blames his coach and worthless teammates for not giving him the ball at the end. Or, as my brother in law put it, break Steph Curry's leg in Game 1. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I must admit, punching Curry in game 1 and then flopping like maniacs in game 2 is a pretty solid strategy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd love to see how SAS would react. Because it's literally one of two takes, and they're polar opposites: 1) I demand the public crucifixion of Player X because of his unwarranted attack on Steph Curry - whose tears hold the cure for cancer. 2) I am completely okay with Player X taking out Steph Curry - whose cocky swagger finally got the better of him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I can't believe that with all of the shitheads in the sports world. Steph Fucking Curry is the one to bring you guys together to form a mutual hate society. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 A. Stephen A. Smith breathes? B. The title of this thread means the winning teams all have to live with the Octomom chick wherever she is these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I fucking LOVE watching Steph and the Warriors play. I haven't built up any real hatred for them. Now if they were to meet the Celtics in a series then things change but that's pretty unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 That's the thing, I don't have any personal animosity towards them. They are seem like mostly good dudes, I just loathe watching them play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 So does anyone foresee any upsets? For me, I've really only got Charlotte over Miami. Indiana CAN catch Toronto, I just don't see it. I can't even homer my way into believing that Dallas does any better than stretching OKC to 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, Detroit did win three out of four against Cleveland in the regular season, including two out of three that matte.... Nope I can't do it.
