**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[Maximus Meridius]

I haven't read a single thing in this thread today, but wanted to ask this question (apologize if this has already been answered)...

Where do the Rockets go from here if they don't make the finals now? I guess more importantly, what happens if they still lose to GSW without KD? I know the team is capped going into the offseason, but do they find a way to move on from Clint? IMO, they desperately need more guys capable of scoring if the plan is to beat teams with this style of play. Clint is probably their most valuable trade chip at the moment, but not sure what they can get for him. Not even sure where they go from here. Do they continue to stick with this group in hopes of GSW blowing it up? Can they be better than a Giannis led team or whoever else can stand in their way?

Nowhere for real. They don't have any great young talent or anything to trade. If they can't win these next 2 they're this generations Sacramento Kings.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Warriors playing 6 guys and only 2 can score lol

Y’all forgot how many points KD had when he went out?

It’s easy to play without him a quarter. Try 4

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Knicks should sit KD out for the rest of the postseason.

Kings, Phoenix Suns. What if.

James Harden made the right play the entire fourth and the offense was rolling. Not everything needs to be a result of him shooting it.

Who said every play he has to shoot it?

The last 8 mins he attempted ONE shot. You can't be this game changing, historical season player, MVP, and come up that small.

Then again it's his history...

I’m all for getting it out of CP3s hands but this was facts here

 

[Lovetohate3000]

People don't understand cp3 has had all star level impact his first four games. The advanced stats show it .

 

[Clyde Frog]

Houston is toast.

KD went down and they started playing not to lose.

Gonna enjoy that Warriors ML tomorrow.

I think rockets win but +260 is too good of value to pass up

So now ya'll agree with Nick Wright? Who's bff's with Darryl Morey


Ya'll Harden fans lower the bar for him every single postseason.

I don’t know the dynamics of their relationship but where was the lie?

 

[addict4sneakers]

The two possessions that were CP3’s should have been Harden. If you want to knock him for that, cool. He got a hockey assist to tucker but he was out of bounds. PJ also smoked a layup too

He's another Harden super fan. Same way people clown him for d riding Lebron he does the same for Harden and Morey.

But tomorrow I need “Bearded Russ” 30 shot attempts

 

[QU!K]

They want to see him go out with Mamba Blood like Kyrie

They scored on 8/10 shooting possessions what difference does it make who shot if he had the offense rolling.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Ok but where’s the lie?

I ain't listen to him. I saw the game and Harden disappeared.

One attempt from the guy that changed the game.

 

[100027]

I always figured Embiid falls to avoid injury. He seems to want to avoid impact on his legs.

 

[Hahahaha]

Harden is the leader, he gets the praise for wins and the blame for losses. He gotta do more when that game is in your hands.

I didn't even know this existed... This is the facts and idk how you can criticize Harden for not shooting it.

If you say that then you just didn't watch the game idk what else there is to say.
