Official 2018 NBA Offseason Thread: the preseason cometh

D’Antoni: “OK, Jeff. We’re in a tough spot here. I’m going to let you lead this huddle. Give the guys some things they can do to try to get some stops here.”

[Redacted]: “OK guys. There’s an old saying in the NBA. You give respect by showing no respect...”

D’Antoni: “Oh no. Oh fuck no.”
 
Rox ain't gonna win this shit going strictly ISO.

Only silver lining to the Dubs winning is maybe the dumbass pundits will cool it on the Bz defensive genius talk.
 
They should fly in Margaret Johnson to interview [Redacted] after this disaster

The iso shit neuters CP3. It’s painful to watch.
 
This was a typical boring Warriors win. Stunningly typical. The average Warriors regular season game was a 116-104 win. That was exactly the score with 32.1 left.
 
Rockets aren’t winning a game this series. D’Antoni is the Marty Schottenheimer of NBA postseason.
 
That's as good as the warriors can play and tucker/ariza/mbah shit the bed. This is going 7
 
Mbah was indescribably bad.

Don’t think GS played all that special. Honestly they just got easy shots. Don’t see that changing.

I don't think Houston loses tonight but I also disagree with your premise.

You make it sound like GS is at an advantage for not having home court.

I think this series is going to be one of adjustments and therefore, who has the better staff. Golden State has already basically declared that they are going with a no center lineup of Green, Durant, Iggy, Klay and Steph. I think it is the right move as I assume GS is going to go with Iggy on Harden. Green is going to wasted defensively on Capela, but I see holding Capela to 10pts/6rebs is a GS win.

What do you do defensively if you are Houston? I suppose you hide Harden on Iggy, put Tucker on Klay and Ariza on Durant. Then, hope CP3 can do better than he has in the past against Steph and doesn't hurt himself trying. I worry about his hammys. It helps that Steph hasn't played a lot in the last 3 months. Capela is going to struggle against Green. Hou better hope Green is clanking his 3s (he usually doesn't come playoff time).

The thing I do like about Houston is their bench and the ability to switch things up and potentially keep GS off balance. Houston basically has to scheme for the GS starting 5. Maybe factor in some David West defense and how to keep Livingston from posting up. But Houston could conceivably bring Ryan Anderson in for Capela for a long stretch and see what happens. GS has to prepare for Harden moving to the 3 with Gordon coming in.

I like Houston in 7. Or better put, I am rooting for Houston in 7.
