[hand2handking]

so whats a calf sprain like a charlie horse?

 

[kilroythedon]

I was caping for CP3 hard these couple years but y’all right he is trash in the post season. Dude needs to retire at this point.

 

[lamekilla]

Dubs righteously 3-peated last night. Nothing in their way now. Toronto/ GS Finals will be over in 5

 

[antidope]

Brett Brown getting tired if we lose

I will be so upset if this happens. The definition of an unfair firing

 

[VARNELL HILL]

IDK why I think this...but I think Philly gets it done tomorrow

The chair swivels

The chair swivels

you sit 2 feet from a 40 inch TV?

he's 7 feet and makes like 30M+ a year, couldn't get no leg space and/or a bigger TV?

Bro he was probably in the Den area... or a friends house... ain’t that deep.

Peak Toronto losing a game 7 at home.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

if you look at the picture at full size...that's definitely bigger than a 40" TV

 

[bostoiah]

Not a fan of the brown walls either...do better KD

Last thoughts on last night's game:

I'll give the Warriors credit for fighting through the first half of Steph Curry playing like garbage and of course direct being out but I think game 6 had more to do with Houston playing poorly then the Warriors playing well.

The Rockets had so many opportunities to pull away in that game. I felt like they had a four to six point lead for a lot of the game and had multiple opportunities to take that lead into the double digits but they either took a horrendous shot or turn the ball over the next possession.

Also, I don't want to hear anything from Rockets fan about how they want a piece of the Warriors. Are we heard about for a year was that they wanted another shot and that they could beat the Warriors if there were 100%, then he proceeded to wet the bed in game 5 and 6 without Durant.

I don't care about Harden averaging 40 points a game in January, show me in May.

James Harden will turn 30 this summer. He's right in the middle of his prime.

He's incredibly durable and a walking 50+ wins by himself (something he doesn't get enough credit for. You can count on one hand the amount of players in the league who can guarantee you 50+ wins every season)

For those reasons alone, the rockets are as "fine" as you can be given the era that they exist in. If KD leaves, or if they strike gold on a buy low guy in the summer or at some point during the season next year, things could break their way.

He's not a perfect player, but I think he was really good against Golden State, he just wasn't perfect and unfortunately for them, GSW forces you to be at a near perfect level for an entire 7 game series. There are areas that he has to improve on as well, but Harden by himself is an entire ecosystem that puts you in the mix every year, and that's valuable. I know ****** not trying to hear that though right now slander is warranted.

 

[reputory]

I like PHI a lot but I think I’d rather see a Giannis KL matchup

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It’s all valid and true. I myself just need to chill on comparing harden to the other greats though until he can win more

But yeah, **** belongs in the other thread

 

[youngwolf]

IDK why I think this...but I think Philly gets it done tomorrow

Because they're the better team.

KD staying the 4 peat is coming

 

[howdythere]

Because they're the better team.

Toronto has the best player on the floor and the home court, going with them.

 

[User 15002]

We still talking about Harden and the Rockets in here? This thread is for teams in the playoffs. No scrubs allowed.

 

[second2nonee]

Bro he was probably in the Den area... or a friends house... ain’t that deep.

it was a joke

 

[Tony $now]

now that substances have exited the system and i can gather my thoughts:

-klaydagawd aka game 6 klay
-kerr turning to that 1-4 steph/dray PnR at the perfect time and houston had no idea what to do
-kerr's defensive strategy the entire series that turned capela into swiss kwame brown with a bleached hair patch
-EAGLE DOLLAR 5/8 from 3 #myfinalsmvp
-shaun livingston pissin on father time's grave and lookin like dominique in a dunk contest
-warriors defense not letting houston role players go off at home
-quinn cook vs austin rivers lookin like steph vs CP3 circa 2015
-steph burry aka "who needs a ****ing left hand" redeeming himself...not enough superlatives to describe that man's second half
-and warriors winning a game on the strength of the OGs: steph, dray, klay, bogut, iggy, shaun #realOLDcore

Eloquently put my g.

 

[youngwolf]

And Houston lost the last two games because expectations changed once KD went down. I don't give a damn about series prices or ESPN "expert" picks, the moment KD went down, Houston was expected to win the series. Players can say what they want externally, but internally, it wasn't until that moment that the Rockets players' expectations changed from "we can win" to "we're supposed to win."

And then they **** the bed. Pressure, pipes.

**** the Rockets.

 

[Air Pope]

Hate to be that guy, but I’d be pretty mad if the WCF would’ve went 6 w/ these 2 teams

 

[getback]

NBA goofed not having any games on the schedule tonight. This sucks.
