They all do tbh..Westbrook always screams or replicates his euro step, Lebron doesnt do any cringey stuff like Curry does with his shimmy crap, he just kinda flexes, and Durant slithers around. But yeah i dont think any of them get as much hate as Curry does lol

This man about to lose in 5 and he is taking pot shots at curry. The dude went off when harden gave him easy layups by playing trash D.


Not sure that's a shot at Curry, could just be him upset about the Rockets giving up such a large lead.

It's true that players shoot a lot more easy/confindent when up/on a roll, so it could be him calling out our team and stating the obvious. Curry has been in a funk the whole series and the Rockets gave Curry a good opportunity to get in his rythm, and he did.


The problem with that idea is that the lead swung a bunch in the 1st half.

this series was over when durant joined the already title favorites in 73-9 warriors, disgusting move that ruined the nba for 5+ years just to get some cheap rings no one respects.

Warriors win the next one in a real close game.

Then it goes back to Houston and the Rockets win it.

Warriors close it out in game six with Curry, KD, and Klay all going off

Do you get paid to troll regarding Durant? I'm only asking because whoever is paying you,they need to give you a raise. You are working overtime

He is just stating the truth, plain and simple.

The series is over, by the way.

Can’t believe cornballs are still crying about KD to the Warriors. Face it your fake 1st seed/D’antoni ball is done :lol: don’t put all your hope in playoff chokers like Harden, Paul and D’antoni with role players

The series was over when Harden decided to play turnstile defense. Ron Adams would choke that fool. At least Curry gives effort, Harden just swipes at the ball. Gives up the mid range and drives. Total disaster on defense against the Warriors.

The Warriors are obviously the favorites at this point but the Rockets still have a small chance.

There is one thing that they absolutely must do though- Take Mbah A Moute completely out of the lineup.
Unbelievable fact- Mbah A Moute has been so indescribably bad that the Rockets are actually comfortably winning this series when he is on the bench.

Also, for good measure Anderson and Johnson should never play. Get as many minutes as you can from Ariza, Capela and Nene.

He is just stating the truth, plain and simple.

The series is over, by the way.

It is what it is, he had absolutely served his time and was in exactly the situation for which the FA rule was designed.

If you don’t like it, get the NBA to change the FA rule, but given it is about 5 guys on this board who continually whine about it rather than the players/players association or the owners who are complaining I suspect it is not much of a real world issue.

Sure Durant on the Celtics would be interesting to see, and he is still young enough to make a further move with which I as a GSW fan would have no problem if he has fulfilled his contractual obligations to GSW, but why should he live in Boston if he doesn’t want to live there just because a few posters on here have hurt feelings?.

This was the series for Paul to prove his playoff woes weren't because of him yet dude seems to be shrinking.

Warriors need to win game 4. If they lose that game then the Rockets have a chance of winning the series. If Warriors win game 4 then they win the series. If Rockets win game 4 then the winner of game 5 wins the series imo.

What I can't understand (also suitable for the Boston - Cavs series) is how the score is so different from a game to game. On Thursday, Rockets won by 22 points at home and last night they were beaten by 41 points. I mean, you can lose, home court advantage and etc... but to lose by 41 points???

I turned this game off after the first half.. glad I did. Rockets need to fire Morey the clown and trade James Harden to a desperate team like the Kings or Lakers.

What more proof do we need for the fact that Kevin durant ruined the league? Who is really excited for the rest of the conference finals and the nba finals. Kevin durant deserves below zero respect. **** coward.
Call it saltiness, crybabyness, butthurt, etc.
Truth be told.
