AIN'T NO HALF STEPHEN

NBA 2015 KIA MVP recipient Stephen Curry, would appreciate less if his godly aura allowed for such disgrace. With grace, he commends runner-up  James Harden on an incredible year and will welcome the Houston Rockets to Oracle Arena tonight for Game 1 of the NBA Western Conference Finals. At Oracle Arena, the Golden State Warriors have surrendered just one loss out of nine games this post-season. After nearly a week of rest, expect a revitalized Golden State Warriors team to ignite the crowd with a fierce offensive output. Accompanied by shooting guard Klay Thompson and forwards Andre Idguodala, Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green, the Warriors pack a ongoing offensive powerhouse that leaves the defense of opponents gasping for air. Golden State surpassed a Memphis Grizzlies rush in the Semifinals round, but come into tonight on a three game winning streak that has Warriors fans believing they are headed for the NBA Finals trophy next month. Not so fast Golden State. There is an opponent quite optimistic about the opportunity to defeat the #1 seeded NBA Western Conference contender.


James Harden, concerns himself with the prize at hand: a chance to prove why he feels he was slighted the MVP award this season. After a 31 point 7 assists showing in Game 7 of the Semifinals round series, Harden and his Rockets will arrive at Oracle Arena tonight coming off a three game winning streak of their own. The Rockets humiliated the Los Angeles Clippers Sunday on ABC. They say the past is the past but the history made just two days ago, will boost the confidence of the Rockets throughout Western Conference Finals series. Expect a blood driven slugfest full of passion and countless three-pointers thought this series  Play close attention to the rebounding and free throw statistical in this Western Conference Finals match-up. Those categories will indicate the clear victor as the series progresses. Also, look for Warriors head coach Steve Kerr to implement the "hack a Howard," scheme. Karma may resurface for the dreadful "hack Deondre Jordan" scheme Houston head coach Kevin Mchale used all last series.
