**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[Moheezy]

not sure there's much he can contribute at this point

he burned his chance for a max deal, which is the toughest part of the saga

He might need to take another 1 year prove it deal. I wonder if Washington would take a bet on him. Or maybe Charlotte if they bring Kamba back,

Warriors don’t play hard. It’s caught up to them this season. Klay already in LA and Durant already in NYC.

Every time James decides that he's going downhill great things happen. More CP3 PnR's. Dubs look all out of wack and are only a run away. Steph ones shaky again.

This. Harden has to stop dribbling the ball for 17 seconds before they get into an offense. Their offense was clicking when CP3 was running point

 

[Nipsey3000]

CP3 played really well. Should feature him more. A few EG buckets came off of great CP3 stuff.

+1

The defense reacts to cp3 differently after pnr vs. Harden who just outright refuses to shoot a wide open 15 footer

Eric Gordon is the mvp for the rockets. Damn shame he keeps having to bail Harden out.

Same Eric Gordon that was bailing Harden out last year game 7 before he eventually folded. They’re all bums

Feel bad for Boogie. His best bet is for the Warriors to resign him for cheap and just stack rings

 

[pums]

I’m really interested how Steph will look once KD leaves.

 

[tay1]

Harden pushes off literally every time he drives

 

[Peep Game]

He got his bag homie don’t care anymore

He got his bag before the season started. He’s only looked like baby **** for most of the playoffs

 

[bballkid11]

Rockets in 7.

Not gonna argue just watch n see.,

But for now
$$$$$ on my mind

 

[junglejim]

I'm a little worried if I'm the rockets though. Even though they have a 9 point lead, curry/KD/klay went 11-33 and still put up 50

 

[addict4sneakers]

Someone needs to smack the fire out of James

 

[theregothatman]

What is Paul Pierce talking about?
Rockets defense been giving up wide open lay ups all game. Golden state just playing even worse defense.

 

[Thierry Henry]

In Houston it’s a foul

 

[703 hwy]

Harden pushes off literally every time he drives

and it’s so obvious which is the worse part

 

[addict4sneakers]

Y’all don’t hoop complaining about push offs

 

[Lovetohate3000]

I’m really interested how Steph will look once KD leaves.

he's already like 31 . He's won't be the same.still good but we've seen the best of curry already

 

[P C H]

Come on man, who doesn't push off when they drive?

KD carries literally every single time he puts the ball on the floor.

 

[jpzx]

Countdown’s Halftime Show just went out to break playing Mike Jones, and I just want to say this creative choice didn’t skirt past me.

Bruh

 

[P C H]

Not to say that it won't happen, but I do think it's funny how we automatically assume that w/o KD a 32 year old steph would just go back to 2016 Steph.

 

[vidiviciun]

Pinnacle year of the 2010's was the 2016 season... Folks had manifestos & @shotsrangout was on some crybaby Danny Ainge ish' ​

 

[P C H]

Right out of halftime Harden gets downhill, floater.

Money.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

There's degrees to push offs. If anything the league should go further into making that a point of emphasis

That one on Iggy should be illegal

 

[HIM]

For years, addict4sneakers criticized CP3 for dribbling the air out of the ball. St. pierre really dribbles for 17 seconds every time down. CP3 has the offense working out there cuz he makes a quick decision out of the PNR.

Harden aint it. This is still CP3’s team.

 

[lawdog1]

If I was rooting for the Warriors, which I would never do, I’d say too much watching KD on offense for them...
