That was just bad defense. Blake Griffin ran away from the play like he saw a grenade thrown his way.

BINGO!!!!!

Spot on post. A lot of people are talking like that. Its INSANE.

actually i think the post was stupid. No one was talking about the Warriors having to prove anything. Just play up to capabilities.

Agree to disagree, but the amount of negativity in these 2 threads recently make it seem like the Rockets are the favorites and the Warriors would need to play out of their minds to win rather than the other way around. Thats my feeling at least.

This. He was in position but ran away and allowed a dunk with 5 seconds to go in a tied game.

A few minutes earlier I watched him on offense. He was standing on the perimeter wanting the ball. Their role players whipped the ball around and one took a semi open 3 pt shot. Blake hung his head and stood there despite having plenty of time to crash the boards.

It's all about exposure.

He's a selfish bum, which is why I disagreed with the Pistons fans who thought it was a good trade for them.

You need to go back and read all the posts then because, other than perhaps one person, i dont recall anyone saying that the Rockets are the favorites or that the Warriors need to "play out of their minds" to win the series. They just need to play up to the level they played at last year in the playoffs.

I'm a big Rockets fan and I agree with this. If both teams play at their peak GS wins. Probably in 6. But it's close and the Rockets are capable of winning the series.

Some people don't agree. They think GS is a lot better and Houston has no shot.

New Orleans with their win tonight has a 10 game winning streak. Is this team better without Cousins? I dont watch that many Pelicans games but it just seems like Anthony Davis is playing so much better without Boogie. Not saying that Cousins isnt a great player but maybe it isnt a great fit.

Not in the playoffs. One player can't do it in the playoffs. Even LeBron need Kyrie. I've seen a few games with Cousins and a game without. Cousins passing and ability to shoot makes it not the lane clogging fiasco you'd think with two bigs. It did take awhile to figure out though. Last season wasn't great.
