Who you rather play in 2nd round Houston or Golden State?

I'd be willing to sacrifice HCA to play HOU. They are less experienced, turnover prone and nobody on the roster has the name "Curry" on it.

I think we match up well with both teams, though.
 


Neither team worries me. I like the GS matchup as they have next to nothing inside and we have enough guards to run curry around all series. Houston will be a heavy defensive series but we have more guys who can score than they do
 


Houston is trouble but I want the Curry bots silenced. I also want to get to sleep at a decent hour. So I chose Houston. I would rather run through trouble than lose sleep due to time zone scheduling.

I don't think the game times are going to vary whatsoever at this stage. Tuesday's game starts at 8:30 no matter who they play.

I admire your clear headed and reasonable approach to the game time objection of mine. Given that admission of mine, the sociopath in me says, QUIT STEALING MY REASON TO THUNDER. I wasn't trying to yell at you. I am trying to allow my objection to persist beyond its failure to survive reason. I hope you understand my sociopathic desire as an emotional need. Thank you. I appreciate your understanding.
 

Houston would struggle to score against the Wolves.

Who guards Steph?

Depends on who we’re going to play and if we go big. If our usual lineup, Jaden.

Ant will play on Buddy so he can relax on defense and kill the warriors off the dribble. He’ll also play some on podziemski if they don’t like Conley on him. Randle on Jimmy and Rudy can help off draymond
 

GS by far over Houston. We're far more physical than GS, and they're coming off of a 7-game series so they're already worn down. Plus, we get the home game so they have to travel both tonight to get back home and on Monday to get to MN. Hanging around at home and shooting practice buckets is a lot better than sitting in airplanes and sleeping in a hotel.

Ant will guard Jimmy. At least that is what I think will happen.

where are you going to put randle then?

Think much of this depends on who "wins" the lineup matchup. If we're going with our typical starting 5, I don't really see how you put Randle on either Hield or Podziemski as they're runners/slashers and spot up 3 guys. Jimmy you're real happy if he decides to start taking 3s and I think Randles size/strength are going to be problems for him getting to the rack.

If we go small, then I think you see Ant on Jimmy (with Randle on Draymond). This will be the chess match and I think we have the advantage if they have to play Post, Looney and Jackson Davis big minutes to try keep us out of the post/off the glass as Rudy, Naz, and Randle all can guard forwards as well on the other end

If G.S. goes with a big.
Ant on Jimmy.
Randle on Green.
Mike C. on Buddy H.
Rudy on whatever big they play.
McDaniels on Curry

Yeah I just don’t think they’ll try match us with the big. They played draymond on sengun all last series and I think draymond likes playing Rudy. Will be up to him to exploit that matchup

Better yet for the Wolves imo. Who guards Randle for them then? Jimmy? Then, who guards Ant? I like our big vs. their small.
 

Means nothing, as we saw, but 4 of 5 "experts" from CBS are going Wolves, 10 or 11 from ESPN have Wolves, and 5 of 6 from Yahoo. Most of them are looking at 6 or 7 game series.

I knew it!!!

You’re likely a Factor 1 sociopath, so not inherently dangerous, just a complete BS artist!!
My Dad was one, so I have a soft spot for them!!

Are you psychic or a just familiar enough with family counselling to use terms like a Factor 1 sociopath? I have never been diagnosed as such. I just use it because it rings true.
