I have little love for the Rockets, but I'm still hoping they can somehow manage to knock out the Dubs.

I may have said those words several years ago when they first got good. Even cheered for them against Lebron in the first couple of GSW/CLE finals before I stopped caring. But especially since KD went over there, I have nothing but ill will for that team.

I don't hate GS like say, I hate the Patriots. But it would be refreshing to see a new Western Conference champ in the finals.

I've been following them since: "Steph Curry is only good and he'll be forgotten about when he retires.", "Klay Thompson is just a solid starter", and "Bogut and Lee are the real stars on this team." Also they have Iggy. I like Iggy.

I respect Curry and Thompson. I would just like to see them both move to new, separate teams.

And Iguodala isn't bad either. It's the mix of too much winning plus Durant that earns them my disdain.

It's called a public service, even if you don't like the rockets you'll thank them later.

For reference the only sports teams I hate more than the Rockets are the New Orleans Saints and The New England Patriots. And those hatreds run deep and very blood red.

Honestly though, you know people are gonna start leaving soon if they win another title. How it always happens with dynasty teams. Someone out there gonna lure some pieces away.

If they don't, fans may start leaving. Personally, this is the first time in probably three years that I even care about the NBA playoffs.

He got raked by Draymond back in game 2. He can apparently see fine now, but his eye still looks bloody.

Is it accidental if the same player does the same thing to the same player twice?
