wow.

Rockets came out with everything, and GSW calm them down like Omi tutu. We go see sha.

Durant got hot. If harden had not taken a hit in the first q, momentum does not switch the way it did. Most of rockets shooters were cold. Any 2 of these 3 go our way next game, and we have a shot

I saw positive things in this game for rockets. I feel better about our chances even with this loss.

And someone tell the commentators to get off GS jock.

Eruditor:
They have compensated them for the backcourt.

Dont worry bros. I won't invoke any theories

donlittle25:
Damn it, i hate calls like that.

Calls like that happen both ways. Still its not the reason we are down 10

donlittle25:
was that a backcourt?

Yup

Durant can pretty much get any shot he wants

Enemies in the easht, enemies on d west side. Haters all around. Conspiracy leprechauns. But we shall overcome

Eruditor:
There is bad refereeing and there is rigging a series. But you can't rig a series in one game abi?

But you normally see rigging play by play. But you quiet today. Issokay, i recognize your hustle. The king will be back in game 2. I am sure your theories will ressurect too

Eruditor:
Yea..Ersan..Mitrik...Nictis..etc

That type of everyone ?

I noticed you stopped talking about nba condpiracies today. Interesting

A40:

Sey una dey see d beating ba

Eruditor:
I can't believe no one at TNT has corrected the wrong stats they used for GSW vs Rockets in the regular season.

I know they want to create this narrative so hard and there are still lazy people at analytics and what not, but they have used the same chart again today and it is funny.

Anyways, that is BTW. Sixers had the potential to win games 2, 3 and 5 but executed poorly in the stretch. Brad, on the other hand deserves credit for his in-game plays and closeout stratagem as they were very huge in a series like this.

Surprised but not surprised that he got ignored by his peers in the voting category. People traditionally do not like the new guy who just came in and is getting most of the plaudits. They will feel he needs to earn his rank. Barkley was right, it was petty that he got not a single vote when 6 or 7 others did together with Casey who won.

It is really shaping up to be one heck of a finals across conferences. I do not think Lebron will sweep but I don't see how Celts beat him 4 times.

As for the West, I know Morey and co have said times without number that they were built for GSW. They are right. I also know that they were formidable in the regular season. But the playoffs present a whole different challenge and I am riding with the more experienced team (obviously).

I would be very surprised if the series goes beyond 6 with GSW winning. Very surprised.

Agree with u on rockets, disagree on cavs. Rockets havent been in this situation before. I see a 4-2 or 4-1 win by gsw. No way cavs beat celtics. Lebron literally has to repeat magic 4 times againt the best coached team in the league. I would like it to happen, but it wont

donlittle25:
SOMEBODY CALL MCUBAN.

I AM TIRED OF MY TEAM STINKING

I dont think mavs are a priority for cuban like it was before he won a ring

SmooshCHN:
Boston Celtics are the real Warriors.. This guy's battle it out every fúcking day.

Yup. But I give sixers credit for being tough enough to hang even as rookies

Sixers refusing to go quietly. 4th q for all d marbles

Killrhymz:
Another aspect to note is It's a contrast in style, though, the Warriors' ball movement and fluidity against the Rockets' ground-and-pound isolation. It's two teams trying to do mostly the same things -- score in the paint and score from 3-point territory -- but they go about them in different ways. The Warriors were third in passes per game; the Rockets were 30th. The Warriors were 20th in isolations per game; the Rockets were first. The Warriors were first in off-ball screens per game; the Rockets were 30th. You get the idea?

Great points

aliondo:
Check our fantasy league between Birdman and Smooshcn...whoever performed better is his team going to the NBA finals..

Ameeeeeeeeeeen!

Killrhymz:
Houston has two primary ball handlers in CP3 and Harden, while Gsw has a lot of options in handling the ball. Do u know what happens to the opposing teams defence when a PF or C brings up the ball? It draws out the opposing team best defenders or rim protectors like Capela or Luc while guys like Klay will find enough for cutting or spotting up without needing a screen. IMO

You cant run that play often. If an opposing team knows that you prefer that, they can trap or disrupt your play before you PF/C can make the necessary play. Probably the only PF in the game this can work for is Lebron because he actually has PG skills. But even then, you will get in trouble with smart teams. In fact, your big man will end up having to pass the ball back to the PG to setup a play. Which means you just wasted 8 to 10 seconds on tbe shot clock. Cant rely on that

Eruditor:
You are right.

Houston's greatest undoing will be assuming the regular season was anything to go by. It is not.

Shey this is your prayer abi. Heaven don reject am. Dem send me make i tell u

Roland17:
I wonder what B. Griffin and DeAndre Jordan are thinking watching CP3 go off

*#! & bleep... Cry....pretend to be happy for cp3..repeat

aliondo:
Saw an article today...NBA teams think its time to move Russ.....Do you all think its time for a change at OKC or Russ could still come through at OKC.....

The time to move Russ and get a good deal has passed. The league understands what he is, superstar iso player, exciting but unableto lead a team effectively. Plus its a bad look for okc to make this move after Russ pledged his loyalty... this by itself could affect the quality of agents willing to enter this mess.

Best thing is for okc to hold its nose and ride it out. And pay a babalawo to give Russ a change of heart this offseason

donlittle25:
i don’t even know what the problem is. Not even a game?

Reminds me of tmac and yao. Sometimes your superstars can have personalities that are too alike. Then they get too comfortable and never really take the next step

Roland17:
After this series, the entire "Lizard" roster and coaching staff need to see a psychiatrist about the Cavs.

Gotta split the brothers up

donlittle25:


No be me find trouble o

If he do anyhow, turari isegun la mi le anjonu buruku

BarthramLestat:
Capela.

I want to mention him in d same sentence as baba. But

This utah coach looks like a comic villian

donlittle25:





Is this bird the birdman?

Na devil wan use me for sunday. Brah Segun, no be today

benji93 nor vex

benji93:
Brad stevens has arrived, he makes the best out of any crop of talent made available to him. I am now convinced joel embiid is no where near hakeems level. He doesn't seem to have the will to win, alongside another point guard considered ot be trascedental.

Dont ever mention Hakeem in d same sentence with this cat again. Are you mad? Dont allow me lasisify u today bro
