[Absolute Zero]

Rockets are done.

Rockets are done.

I was hoping for a better series. Maybe it still happens but it is not looking good. The Mavericks winning the Championship in 2011 appears an outlier.

 

[Russ Smith]

Rockets are done.

It'll be 2-2 after tonight IMO. And with Iggy doubtful with a sore knee from banging knees with Harden, it's even more likely 2-2.

I like this kind of party!

I'm assuming you posted that at 12-0 Warriors and not at the half?

A bit concerned about Klay's knee too, if that's something that stiffens up they could be down 2 starters.

 

[Russ Smith]

If they can keep Draymond from blowing his cool again they have a chance to get a big lead here because Houston is doing the pointing fingers thing again and Harden has stopped playing defense

 

[HeHasRosen]

Haha Draymond getting stuffed by the rim just made my night

 

[Russ Smith]

Harden is unreal, he play acts more than any player in the league and he just complained about Steph exaggerating contact to get a call, in a game where the Rockets have shot 25 freethrows and the Warriors have shot 9.

 

[Mainstreet]

Rockets win.

All right. Now we have a series.

 

[Russ Smith]

why did Durant give that up at the end he should have gone in there and drawn a foul.

 

[Mainstreet]

They put .5 seconds on the clock after a foul by Livingston.

Warriors down by 3.

 

[Russ Smith]

Good thing Curry missed that shot or the refs would have been in huge trouble. Klay grabbed harden with 2 hands and spun him around to set the screen for Curry at the end and the refs didn't call it

 

[Mainstreet]

So the Rockets still win on a last second miss by Curry.

 

[Bufalay]

Wtf why did Paul make that second free throw.

 

[Bufalay]

Harden was terrible

Curry was so wide open I knew something happened.

 

[Folster]

Ugly 4th quarter by GS. Lots of horrible shots. You got to give credit to the Rockets though.

 

[HeHasRosen]

Wow finally a watchable game. The Rockets played hard tonight they earned it. How in the hell do the officials give the warriors another chance though? Game should have been over

 

[GatorAZ]

Wtf why did Paul make that second free throw.

So dumb. I think some guys are afraid of missing the rim if they try to miss.

Maybe this is something that should be reviewed for a rule change although I'm not sure how they word it.

This loss is on Kerr tonight. His hubris needs to be checked. How could they NOT call time out!!!???

He lost them the series tonight.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

In the fourth, one team wanted it and the other mimicked their coach.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

14 assists and 16 turnovers isolation basketball...Kerr allowed HOU to take them out of their game...

 

[Russ Smith]

Curry was so wide open I knew something happened.

Blatant foul I can't believe the refs didn't see it so they just chose not to call it because of the time on the clock But if Curry makes that shot we're all talking about that no call now. Thompson knew it too

 

[HeHasRosen]

Harden was terrible

How do you figure??

Chris Paul has to play like he did tonight though if the Rockets want to have a chance to win the series.
