If this is the game that shifts the series and Houston wins I'm gonna be so sick. A Houston C Bags finals could possibly happen. **pukes**
Yup, 2-2. Rockets had to win this, of course, but now the Warriors have to respond and take the next one. I mean, they don't have to, but it would make it easier.If I had to put my money on it, I'd say this will go 7.
This is bad, this is very bad. I thought the Warriors could win this one in a close game, and then afford to drop game 5 in Houston. Now they’re in deep trouble. I can’t believe James Harden bowling into Iggy’s knee with his flopping could potentially change the NBA for the worse for a long, long time. James Harden, Chris Paul, and Mike ‘Antoni winning a title together would be a travesty, the thought literally makes me sick, I get a little nauseated.
Series shift. It's 2-2 with Golden State heading back to Houston, which I believe they will lose. Oh well their fault. Coach Kerr is being outcoached again btw, by Mr. Pringles of all people. KD iso ball is like a black hole to their offense sometimes.
told y'all. gs just refuses to keep their heads in the game for the full 48. they should be ashamed, and they're not going to just waltz to another blowout to prove a point. i think they're out of lives. durant was immensely disappointing. also, how is harden and not paul the mvp? paul is houston's mvp, but harden is the league's mvp? i hate this season with the fire of a thousand suns. and i'm with weezy: the symbolism here is awful. houston has dragged gs into the iso mud and out-wrassled them. how long before someone else gets two iso stars that are too strong too bully (unlike durant and curry, who are big wusses) and figures they can just take turns isolating on offense, switch everything on defense, and turn the game into a really sad playground affair.
how do you not burn those overplays for layups? feel like i'm watching the mavs/gs series from 07 with the kamikaze passing lane blitzes that go unpunished.
it's happening. hard to believe the nba wants this after all the hard work to eradicate this stuff. hilarious that the press--after years of trashing iso basketball--is still lapping up what houston's offering.
Nope. As I thought, close game. Sprockets were in do or die mode, Warriors got cute and ended up losing. Now they have some key injuries. They needed to stomp on Houston's throat. They didn't. Now all bets are off and Houston has home court again.
To be fair, they were coasting before Klay went down. I didnt predict an injury. I still expect them to win, but not if everyone is hurt. Cant scheme injuries.
They were and they didn't either. But they had everything back in full control after the third quarter. No excuses to let down like that. KD was kind of nowhere to be found either down the stretch. Bad look for the Warriors.
Well that’s what you get when you take the pressure of the accelerator. The Warriors could have blown this game open and choked their hearts out again. I mean how do you lose like that at home? To them. The Warriors looked like the Thunder in 2015 when they (Thunder) had 5min to close out the game to go to the NBA finals and choked it away. Oh wait, didn’t KD have the ball in his hands then too? KD should have just drove it into the lane. You’re 7 feet for goodness’ sake!
What a ugly 4th quarter , Warriors were disorganized and their spacing was bad . Not sure why Kerr didn't call a timeout when Klay got stucked in the corner . In other news , Warriors are shooting 33.8% from 3 in the playoffs
I agree. I think the injury took the wind out of their sails and then they were comfortable to coast to the finish line. What should really bother them is getting outworked. It's like they thought a dynasty was theirs by right and everyone was going to lay down for them.
iirc, houston didn't play capela in the 4th. this means that rim protection was left to a team with no one taller than 6'7" on the floor. and the warriors drove, like, zero times. what an embarrassment. they deserve to lose with that kind of effort. also, REALLY salty about the cp3 veto this morning.
