Rockets are going to max out that injury prone guy and have to worry when he will go down at any moment.

Lol at this wtf is he supposed to do? Top PG’s and top 10 players don’t grow on trees

Lmao this may have been his peak health wise. First hand experience keep thinking the talent is going to save his availability. Will be nice winning a bunch of games but can he hold up for a real title run? Next season will be interesting

100

I hope the Rox come back with full health. Feels like we were robbed of the full series.

I hate when people say this. No. Y'all missing Iggy is like Houston missing luc. Whenever luc played, rockets were top 3-5 in defense

Yup me too, excuses are just excuses. Just like the excuse if Paul played Houston would have won. Can't have it both ways. You play with the team that is on the court.

Funny thing is even before cp3 got hurt a bunch of gsw fans were saying Iggy this Iggy that

If I didn't despise Houston and dislike Cleveland I'd have hoped it was one of them. Actually rooting for Boston to beat them next year.

They are definitely very lackadasical and go through the motions a lot more than you would like which is extremely frustrating. But I'm not seeing arrogance - at least more than any other team. Every star celebrates on the court at a similar rate.

That IS the arrogance. They come out in huge games like its a preseason game and throw lazy ass passes and shots around because they dont take the idea of losing seriously. Thats textbook arrogance.

Arrogance is thinking higher of oneself than is warranted.

They didn't have to take the idea of losing seriously because no one's beaten them yet.

Until someone actually does something about it, they don't have to take the idea of losing seriously.

And it's not like CP3 is better than the Warriors 5th best player or anything

HOW IS THIS NOT A FOUL?!?

Watch on YouTube

Because Green didn’t foul him and Bell was an established defender who used the principle of verticality to avoid a foul from a smaller player who jumped from within the lane toward said established and taller defender?

Easy to go cold when momentum shifts. Ever played basketball?

That’s their identity, and a lot of the shots were good. Again, your ignoring the clear fact that the refs played a huge hand in shifting momentum during the most important stretch of the game. Do you deny this? Or continue focusing on Houston going cold?

The refs certainly had a hand in shifting momentum, but you aren't going to win many games jacking threes and refusing to get anything going in the paint. I can't blame the refusal to do something so elementary on the refs. What happened to running plays for easy buckets to re-establish rhythm? That's something that's taught in little league ball.

This.

All champion level teams are like this. Lebron's heat, the Bulls, the Lakers, even the Spurs had a quiet arrogance about them. I mean the Celtics in 2010 took the entire second half of the season off. :lol:

You mean after the shot had been blocked by Draymond which makes Gordon a non shooter and just fighting for a 50/50 ball at that point? Looking for the refs to bail them out is Houston’s biggest burden to over come.

Who is making the Finals?
