Whom is more entertaining? Who gives a fuck about that shit. YOU ATTACK THE RIM YOU GET FOUL CALLS. I can't dumb it down any more than that for you. And if you don't think the above players didn't rely on those 8-10 extra points per game a night, well maybe I should edit the previous sentence because it's probably not dumbed down enough for you. Oh, and someone actually broke down and watched over 300 fouls called on Harden, the results, he gets fucking hacked.http://www.vantagesports.com/story/...ng-fouls-drawn-mean-james-harden-is-a-flopper Until you and Noble actually watch the hours of video that this person did, stop bumping your gums about it. Don't ever ever ever let that shit spill out your mouth about me or anyone member here about having a hard on for any player when you were having estrogen injected into your asscheeks all year in the hopes that Westbrook would smash that shit.
I do as well, the games have been VERY close and the Rockets did have a chance to steal one tonight. Harden shot 62% tonight, 38/10/9 he did everything right but did blow it at the end. Harden is somewhat streaky, he hasn't shot particularly well in the playoffs so far, but I expect better shooting to continue. Smith has played like ASS so far, he needs to step it up. This is the real NBA Finals, the winner of this series, (and no way is this series over) wins the Chip.
Rockets fans can be as hopeful as they want, but this series is not going 7. GS for the most part played like shit last night (with the exception of the MVP), and even Curry was incredibly turnover prone last night. If Houston were to steal a game, LAST NIGHT was there chance. They couldn't do it. This series will be over in 5 or 6.
Harden had the best game he'll have in this series and they still fell short. But he's just too good to retire without getting a ring so beware of the Houston Rockets for the next 2-3 years.
GS did what they were supposed to do, hold serve and both games were close, 5 pts total they have won by. The Clippers were blowing the Rockets out. If anything is telling me it will be a longer series than a short one, it's that and Smith takes a few games to get going for whatever reason. I've said it before, I'm fine with the Rockets losing this series, no one expected them to be in the WCF aka the REAL Finals and they are missing two starters. Harden is 25, Curry is 27. Rockets have ways to improve, they will not be trotting out two 38 yr old point guards next year. If Bev is back, he'll be coming off the bench, were he's more effective. There will be final changes to complete the roster. Going all in next year while gaining valuable experience for the younger guys this year. Win/Win situation. Capela is untouchable, Rocket's center of the future.
Why is Schröder not playing more? He had 13 points in 12 minutes... It's pretty amazing Bron dominates the Hawks like that without Love and Irving...
The Hawks failure against the Cavs is pretty simple - they were a cohesive unit in the regular season, with no real "go-to-guy". At the end of the day, in the playoffs, you NEED a star player to take over games for you. Which is why at this point in the post-season, Curry, Bron, and Harden are playing at a higher level than any other players by far. Hawks don't have a guy like that. They have a bunch of solid/good players, but no real go-to offensive threat.
Honestly, the Clippers blowing out them and Warriors winning by 5 pts doesn't mean much. They're both very different teams, and they both found different ways to win. The problem with the Clippers was they frequently lost focus during stretches of the game and their bench seemed so out of synch with the entire starting lineup's intensity. They also became complacent after beating the Spurs, a mistake that cost them dearly. Smith and Brewer are good role players but they aren't supposed to lead such a huge comeback like they did in game 6. That is lack of focus and team cohesiveness.
You think Schröder has the potential to become that kind of player? Of course nothing like Bron but a go-to-guy type of player. He does this in sequences already this season.
Dennis will take Teague's spot very soon or he will leave. The kid is too good to remain as a backup pg for too long.
This and injuries. The plus side for the Cav's...if I'm them I let Kevin Love walk and pay Tristan Thompson. They didn't and don't need Love. Thompson would have played at this level all season if he had the minutes. Plus he's represented by Lebron's boy.
Nah, Schroder doesn't strike me as anything more than potentially one day decent PG. Kinda disappointed in Teague. I thought that of all the Hawks he might become the go-to-guy in the playoffs. I was wrong......
GS obliterating the Rockets in game 3. Unless GS has a second half letdown of EPIC proportions, this series is over. Warriors vs Cavs is basically a certainty at this point.
Rockets played like ass tonight, they deserve to get blown out next game too just for how they played tonight. Embarrassing. I had no problem with them losing this series as I've said before, they aren't a finished product, but lose like this? NBA champions are always damn good, but are also very lucky and everything goes just right for them, that seems to be the case for GS. This series is over, meet your 2015 NBA Champions, the Golden State Warriors. Anyone believe the Cavs can beat them, I have 100 bucks that says they won't.
Doubtful. GS is so many levels higher than any tram in the East that it's not even funny. I can't completely count out the Cavs because they possess the best player on the planet, but Steph Curry is simply playing OUTSIDE OF HIS FUCKING MIND. Honestly, Curry is having a historically great playoff run.
Curry's hot hand and Kerr putting Iguodala on Harden did the Rockets in. GS has everything to disrupt Lebron-ball. Elite passing, great shooters and a spartan-like defense. It's gonna be uphill for the Cavs but you never want to count out a Lebron team. Kyrie MUST be at least 90%. Otherwise it will be embarrassing.
Even IF you had a healthy Irving, who's to say they could beat GS? That statement might be setting me up for failure, as Lebron alone can make any series close, but Cleveland will obviously be big underdogs.
Of course it was. Harden and Howard are STILL diva superstars who lack the mental toughness to win a ring. You could see by the facial expression on Harden's face last night that he knows its over. And when your best player has a look on his face like that, yeah, it's over.

Poor Houston. In the 90s they had one of the 3 centers ever. Now they have a man who's more bitch than Bruce Jenner.
Been hearing that Harden was out partying with Drake of all people the night before the game, not just getting drunk, heard from two different people he was doing blow. No idea if this is all true, but this isn't the first time I've heard these things, it's well know that Harden is a big fan of the Houston strip club scene. There is A LOT of them here. First I've heard of the blow. If true, Harden has some SERIOUS growing up to do.
I'm already looking past Dwight, all the injuries and he's logged a lot of minutes. Rockets are stupid if they give him another contract, he can opt out after next year. Capela already is better at some things than Dwight, and he's 20 years old.
