This Rockets Spurs reminds me of old school Lakers Celtics. I don't have a clue who will win this, although I expect Spurs to rebound and win game 5.
I have to admit the Rockets are impressing.
I still think it's down to Warrior/Cavs though.
NBA is La Liga right now. Barca/Real/everyone else.
Indeed. Spurs only have Kawhi, and GSW will pants Rockets if they survive.
Buy your tix to Goodison yet?

Houston does have a better chance against GS. There is a very slight chance that Houston can shoot the lights out for 4 of 7 games.
This is why I don't listen to Cowherd
Don't necessarily disagree but I thought the Rockets played great, disruptive defense last night. I'm not sure how much better they can get.
Cowherd is a clown and yet I can't turn away from his NFL videos on YouTube.
Up there with Skip for the worst empty head in the sports 'takes' world.
Empty Head = Stupid idiot.
Colin is smart and he's a top shelf WUM
He has some good takes, but he doesn't care to distinguish between the good and the bad. He's Jim Rome without the Rome fanboyism.
Rack me...
He went too far with the Jose Bautista stuff like but yeah, he's a top WUM.
Jason Whitlock is another, I have to turn stuff off when he turns up.
I lived in Portland when he was a local sports talk guy. Never would have expected him to reach the heights he has.

Both cowherd and witlock are clowns (its a shame about Witlock because he used to write excellent sports commentary before he got a tiny sliver of cable news fame).
That being said if the Cavs pull over another finals upset against one of the greatest teams ever assembled, you can make an arguement. Upsets rarely happen in 7 game series and a finals upset is even rarer (There has been 2 big final upsets in the past 2 decades - Pistons over Lakers and Dallas over Miami and one massive upset Cavs over Golden State). Also upsets definitely don't happen against teams with 4 HOFers in their prime because there has never been a team in my memory that has had 4 HOFers in their prime.
Now LeBron losing to Dallas in the way they did (also losing to Dwight Howard in the eastern conf finals) is a big massive stink to his legacy but if he beats this GS team, a more talented one than last year it cancels those playoff losses out.
I think a lot turned for the better in Lebron's legacy with the comeback last year, but if he wins again this year he's only got 4. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, as of the Showtime Lakers weren't facing an elite Celtics team on a regular basis. Or have we also forgotten that everyone believes Jordan would have 8 consecutive if it weren't for the gambling by, etc.
