I’ve seen this movie before. The NBA loves this. I think, and again I’ve been wrong before, but I think that Lebron will win game 6 at home, then come back to Boston and win game 7.....

Aka

DRAMATIC JIGGAAAAAAAA..

Come on Rockets! Let's do this. CP3 can hopefully play game 6 and they can close it out. If he can just stay healthy to get them to the finals they should be in good shape.

Is it now clear Kerr is vastly overrated as a coach?

*choke* *gag*

Or just that D'Antoni is underrated?

I definitely underrated him but they pulled some good levers. Not only getting Paul but adding guys like Tucker, Luc, and Green.

KD left a team because he wanted to play in a free flowing ball movement system, but he still isos non-stop on a team with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. He should be **** embarrassed to have zero assists.

People also don't really talk about how much talent Houston has. Obviously Harden, Paul, and Capela are the big names, but look at the rest of their roster. Gordon, Ariza, Tucker, Green, Ryno, Tarik Black, Mbah a Moute, Nene, Joe Johnson... literally everyone else on that team can contribute in a playoff game other than Aaron Jackson.

I'm really hopeful they'll be enough to upend GSW in a Game 6 with CP3 out.

Nah I hate Harden and CP3, even more than I hate KD and Donkey

Kerr needs to take the ball out of KDs hands.

Very true.
The most team depth in the league from the starters to the bench.

Worst coach in the league? Ty Lue and it's not even close.

eta: Biggest traitor in the league? Clyde Drexler.

I get that you spent a hiccup as Rocket and got a ring grappled to Olajuwon's fine hairs. But, dude, you're a Blazer. Get out these State Farm commercials and crap as if you're a lifetime Rocket.

Game 7, Boston vs Cleveland has been boring, but things should get exciting in the 4th.
Boston is forcing too much.

I agree, kg01, Lue is that bad. However, Lebron got his guy, and also helped his mediocre talent friends get paid.

Yup. Luckily Scary Terry Starks showed up.

Genius Brad blew it, Seeees in the bonus early in the 4th and yet they kept jacking up 3s, Tatum with the hot hand and they weren't going to him.

Go fishingbCelts!

I’m first and foremost sorry to Jamal...I kid Jamal but Horford had 4 boards..(0 offensive)...I think he’s had like 1 offensive board in 4 games? Maybe 2...I dunno. For a lifer like me, watching the Celtics lose is just flat out fun...specially a game 7... no doubt these guys will be around for the foreseeable future though..hope with us in a couple years.

I hate Lebron too but that play..wow..he nearly carried Morris into the rim...power.

So who won the bet between you and mac-d?
Oh, Kyrie wasn't on the bench tonight. Where was he?
