    "Team basketball" is down 3-1 and it took ref induced 10 point cushion for most of the first three quarters for that 1 to even happen.

    Here's what I read...Conference Semifinals will begin April 30/May 1 but it be could be moved up to April 28–29. So the earliest date would be April 28th which is Saturday. If the Warriors win game 5 on Tuesday, it will still start on April 28th. I think it will only be pushed back to April 30/May 1st if this goes 7 games which it probably won't.

    "Worriors lost 1 game in the first round so they can kiss their championship hopes goodbye"

    -ClutchFans



    Or maybe that only applies when it's the Rockets:rolleyes:

    I don't care what anyone says. The Warriors losing this game is a positive for the Rockets. It sucks the Rockets lost last night. Now they have to win the next two or this series will go six games. Which does not sound fun, trying to avoid a game 7, by having to win in Minnesota game 6.

    The loss matters very little unless a Warriors player gets hurt in game 5. Their best players got plenty of rest near the end of the season when you include time off due to injuries.

    This. I don't know how the Warriors losing is good for them. You always want to finish off a series as early as possible. One more game means more chances for injuries, suspension, etc.

    Some of you guys are over thinking too much.

    Have Pop's Spurs ever been swept anyway? I want to say no?

    Actually, guess it was last year. Just that game 1 felt like a Spurs victory until Zaza did his thang.

    If rockets loses one game we're doomed. If GSW loses they're in cruise control or intentionally throwing games? When their guys are down they are faking injuries??They also get tired you know. And honestly if I'M the CHAMPION i would love to look INVINCIBLE even if I'm not. A sweep will send a strong message to the league that with or without curry they are strong. Losing to the depleted SPURS without their coach aint exactly moral boosting especially that their next opponent is Nola who just swept the blazers. The confidence of NOLA is probably on all time high. And with GSWs collective ego... i mean this a team that take offense on CAPELA'S interview they will not be throwing games in a play off series.

    You know that what makes harden so great is his unselfishness ability to pass and make his teammates better?

    Why do you think we lost game 3?

    1. Because harden didnt score 45 pts
    2. Because everyone else were hot but harden didnt pass the ball enough
    3. Because minny mirculous made 9 straight 3s end ended up making 55% of their 25 3s. Making 7 more than their average.
