Tonight the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets get the Conference Finals underway, and so we’re here with a little preview.
Golden State Warriors (1) vs. Houston Rockets (2)
Which Rockets player is Lil B most likely to make a diss track about in F*** KD fashion?
Zach (@ZachOliverNBA): Probably Josh Smith. Why? Why not, is the better question.
Eric (@ericbuenning): Dwight Howard. The easiest target.
Chris (@ChrisBarnewall): James Harden because Lil B craves attention.
Matt Cianfrone (@Matt_Cianfrone): Gonna agree with Eric here and say Dwight. Because I’m not sure anyone likes him anymore.
Jack Maloney (@jackhaveitall): Oh yeah, it has to be Dwight.
What is more embarrassing: Papa Roach’s Warriors anthem or Dwight Howard?
Zach: Papa Roach’s Warrior anthem. It’s not great, that’s for sure.
Eric: Papa Roach’s anthem. I haven’t listened to it because I’m already too embarrassed by it.
Chris: Oh god I had never heard this before. Why would you show me this anthem? I wish I had never heard this. You are the worst.
Matt: Only one of those things involves adults making fart jokes.
Jack: So that Papa Roach song is, well, um, not great. But yeah, once again, it has to be Dwight.
Who has a cooler celebration: Steph Curry turning his back to the hoop while his shot’s still in the air or James Harden cooking with the wrist motion?
Zach: Curry, and, to be completely honest, I don’t think it’s close. The confidence it takes to just throw up a shot and turn your back on knowing it’s going in. That’s ultimate confidence and swag.
Eric: Oh, it’s Curry. Harden’s is fine, but the fact that Curry is so confident in his shot that he can celebrate before it going in makes it the best.
Chris: Respect goes to Harden’s cook celebration cause when someone gets it going we always say “They’re cooking!”, but nothing is more fun than when Curry sprints down the court before his shot has even gone in.
Matt: Curry. It is so demoralizing when he does that and he seems to be saving it for big shots now which makes it even better.
Jack: James Harden’s cooking celebration is easily top five in the league, but it’s not quite as good as Steph’s. Like, Steph turning his back with the ball in mid-air is so disrespectful and hilarious but you can’t even say anything cause you know it’s going in.
