This crew of Albert and C-Webb is awful. Between Albert getting everything wrong and C-Webb calling Looney a 7-footer, P.J. Tucker one of the smallest guys on the floor, and a number of other things....this has just been a terribly called game by C-Webb and Marv.

I don't know how the Warriors blew this game. It was basically over.

Morey has to seriously consider letting Capela walk after seeing this series if Suns throw him the max

It's not insane. Curry got hot so the Rockets try to take him away. Warriors go to Klay. He gets hot. Rockets make sure neither gets a shot. Warriors swing the ball to an open Kevin Durant. It's so ridiculous. It's great offense but it's also 3 of the greatest shooters in NBA history. What do you do against that? The Rockets can't beat that guys 4 times. Nobody can unless they let them.



Did you even read what I said? Lol

The game of basketball is a game of runs, especially when 2 elite teams play each other. The team that wins is usually the team that can withstand the other team's run.

Idk what any of what you said has anything to do with what I said. Btw I said the warriors were winning tonight's game and i picked them to win in 5.

It's just dumb to call game after a run... oh look it's a 5pt game lol


I read what you said and I agree with it in general. But the normal rules don't apply to these Warriors. Their runs aren't the normal runs that most teams go through. Things tend to average out over 4 quarters but the Warriors averages are much higher than any other team.



Correct, which is why the Warriors will win tonight, probably by double digits too.

But all they did was match what the Rockets did in the 2nd qt but GSW basically did it in the final minutes.

If GSW went on that run against a bad team then likely the game would be over but not against another elite team like Houston because they're likely to go on a run right after, like they have now

Doesn't Chris Paul have a smaller than average wingspan? How does he score those crazy contested shots at his height?
