This was an excellent game. CP3 and Harden were just incredible.

Somehow after 1 good game, both conference finals are tied 2-2. I guess this is what we wanted, technically

So Houston went with a 7 man rotation tonight. Capella only played 24 minutes.
In '03-'04, Jerry Sloan coached the ESPN predicted "worst team of all time" to 42-40.

I feel like both teams play worse when they resort to iso ball

Oh he was working for the warriors...cause if he misses it...they would have to rebound and then score full court



Yeah I can see that too...I think they just decided to go the safest route. No way they can lose if he makes the 2nd one. It worked out for them.....

People just expect GSW to win, that's really it. The game was never out of the Rockets hand.

But to answer your question - GSW usualy makes much better runs in the 3rd quarter, but this run was only 9 or 10 point lead for them. However, GSW got to that point because Curry made a bunch of crazy shots which made the momentum seem like it was better than it was.

In other words, the Rockets were pretty much just the better team tonight.

Brad Stevens would have called a timeout when Klay was trapped with nowhere to go...just saying.

iso ball > team ball

when KD's the one making the passes. Iggy was missed sorely.

That was so dumb. I couldn’t believe it - I don’t even like the warriros and I was screaming at the TV “why aren’t you calling a timeout!” Lol.

You didn't see him dancing in 3rd quarter? The guy is just so labile. He ranges from 69% to 100%.
