If Harden doesn't show up on a consistent basis this series and the Warriors win in 4 or 5... his reputation for the most part will take a big hit. Doesn't matter if he's an MVP candidate on an annual basis.

I expect this series to go 7 games honestly, but if HOU chokes badly the first few games, then it's a short 5 game series.

Tonight will tell us a lot IMO. Win or lose, if HOU keeps it close, they still have a chance this series if they lose. BUT if they come out flat and lose by a big margin, it could be a short series win for GSW.

Considering health, roster construction and regular season performance, pressure is now on Houston, like it was for Toronto in the Cleveland series (and they self destructed... again)

Here we are -- the big 7k.  This is my first birthday in prison, so to speak, as  I'm not even permitted to post this in the appropriate thread.  But, I am grateful for another 1k posts.  Here's to CsBlog existing long enough for the next milestone.

Edit: Tiny Archibald!

Woot, woot! Welcome to the club, good sir ;D, and TP :).

I think they will show up in game 3 if we win on Tuesday. Talk about the lineup of death!

Maybe I am reading this wrong but the Rockets are at home in game 1.

If the refs mean anything its that GSW is going to win game one on the road. IMO.

Yeah, my bad, Warriors are going to lose game 1 on the road. NBA is ensuring it.

Looks like the Warriors are staying with the Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Durant, and Green starting lineup.

I'm pulling for the Rockets. I think the Celtics have a much better chance against them if they advance than they would against the Warriors.

Draymond just decides he can straight up shove Harden after he scores.
