Houston was able to push in shooters without calls, its not anxiety, being roughed up causes missed shots when you rely on finess. It is what it is. GS should have moved the ball for dunks. This is where we really missed Iguadala. He woukd have might right cuts when Rockets overplayed on our shooters.

I cant recall a series that had 4 top 10 players but not a single closer that I would trust

So aim for the front of the rim and make it bounce far or something. It can't be harder to aim there than to make a 3

That goes wrong more than you may think

Yup, lol, might get an airball or just make it. Players actually struggle with the intentional misses. There's a much smaller area to hit if you are trying to hit the rim than if you are trying to make the shot

Brad Stevens was in the same situation when Marcus Morris got the ball in the last seconds against the Sixers in the confetti game and called a timeout immediatey. Stevens drew up a play then that turned into a bucket. Kerr could learn from him.

Waiting for that 1 poster to create a "Steve Kerr is an overrated coach, he only looks good because he has 2 MVP's, a DPOY, and an allstar marksman".

Iggy was out.

I guess the 4 all-stars they have weren't enough

Best of 3 with 2 in Houston. I like the Rockets chances. The Warriors are probably shook that someone is on their level, their fortitude is visibly crumbling.

Still, entertainment and a 2-2 series was what they wanted...funny how it happened after a 41 pt win.

You guys are a jumpshooting team and complaining about the FT differential?

EXACTLY.

thats why i call them "warriors fans" cuz they all ex-lakers fans LMAO. we all know that **** ain't real

You're high af. Warriors fans are well known as the best fans in the world because we've supported this team when they were bottom dwellers. Oracle was rocking long before recent success.

Kinda nice warriors haters get something to crow about...its all good. Enjoy. funny how a 3 pt loss is the worst choke ever, while a 41 pt loss by a 65 win team is understandable, because the warriors cheated by being too good and the rockets stars were ...whatever...

Now we gotta factor Klay and Iggy into the mix. This is getting difficult to keep track of.

Durant 'bout to join LeBron in LA if the Warriors lose this.

The greatest team of all-time would never lose a 4th quarter, at home, by a margin of 25-12.

Have to agree with that. We had game under control, let them speed it up. Should have been pounding paint. Bell should not have seen minutes.

You have to wonder to what extent he has control of the team in moments like that. Like, does he not try to coach because he knows they won't listen to him?

listen or not, he could've called timeout on the Warriors 2nd to last possession when Klay was stuck with 5 seconds left to go. That's not a shot you want at any point in the game, much less a game-deciding shot.

Brad Stevens saw Marcus Morris stuck in nearly the identical situation in the 76ers series and immediately called timeout.

Who wins the series?
