NBA Western Conference Finals: Warriors vs. Rockets. Who wins?

Game 1 is tonight in Houston. Do the Rockets end the Warriors Western Conference reign? Is this the NBA Championship Series?

The Dubs just gave a pretty definitive answer to the question "Who da man?"

James Harden and Chris Paul are very good players and I like them both, but they just don't have the horsepower.

That seemed pretty evident. Durant has mad skills, remarkable. The refs were allowing Chris Paul to play inside his jersey and Durant still got 37.

Impressive win by the Warriors on the road. The game was tied at the half, but Golden State made a run in the second half and put it away. And this was without a top game by Steph Curry. Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson carried the load.

I've never seen anything like Durant. A guy who stands 6-11 who can move like that, handle the ball like that, and (most of all) shoot like that? It borders on unfair. The only guy who might stand a chance of guarding him is Giannis, since he is a freak, too.

Blows my mind to think that Durant, Harden and Westbrook used to play on the same team. Oceans of talent there, but it seems to me that both Harden and Westbrook dominate the ball too much for them all to play together. It proved to be too much for Durant even after Harden had moved on. Durant is in a pretty good spot with the Warriors, given how both the ball and players move around. Really fits well with his skill set.

Giannis, Simmons of Philadelphia, Anthony Davis...that's about it.
