What like perpetual overtimes?

I've seen a lot of "the Warriors played terrible..." and not a lot of people acknowledging that Harden and Paul shot a combined 20% (Harden's trademark stepback three was well short every time and Paul was missing layups and midrange jumpers) while missing all 10 of their 3FGA. Outside of Harden and Paul, Houston has been very good. If those two get their heads in the game in the 2nd half, Houston has a great chance to go up 3-2.

I get they got cold but geez. Its tied...lmao

I think its more the fact that they are at home and GSW didn't play well at all, yet the game is still tied. With the way the Warriors started the game out, Houston should have taken a big lead. Instead they stagnated and allowed the Dubs to hang around. Now Curry and Klay seem to be getting comfortable and hitting shots.

commentary is still overreacting pretty badly IMO from the TNT crew.

I get it though...gotta get those hot takes in to drum up the drama.

speaking too soon. i don't believe so. they did play horrible but I think chris paul will play better in the second half and that may get harden and the rest of the other guys going

There are some things in life that you have to seize it. Houston just had the championship in their hands.Curry and Klay are already confortable, they will come killing it.

both teams have played bad. GSW with turnovers and missing shots. Houston with missing shots.

Not purgatory, just improve or forfeit, or a do over. Of course, nobody's forcing me to watch, so...

Agree I'm not taking my chances with Harden and Paul vs Curry and Klay with the season on the line. Although Curry and Klay did choke pretty bad in the 2016 finals.

Just call the game at the half...Come back after you practice some more.

Extend the half time break and make them all do suicide drills. We shouldn't be the only ones punished. But seriously, I hope the coaches lit them up at the break.

i love how i come from another thread about fighting thru screens off the ball, switching on d, running guys off the arc . . . and turn on the game to see the rockets run three straight isos where the other 4 players just stand around.

KingCurry · Post #878 » by **KingCurry** » Fri May 25, 2018 2:24 am

I hate how there's no weakside movement when KD gets the iso
