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 :lol:


Clock doesn't start until it touches a hand after the shot. Refs know GS are gonna call an immediate timeout, you miss it you can lose. He made the right decision considering GS had a timeout.


You cant gain possession in .5 sec and call time out thats ridiculous

The absence of Golden State's most clutch performer, and 2015 Finals MVP, Andre Iguodala was felt tonight! :lol:

I've been telling the idiot casuals that all year. HOU is the #1 seed for a reason. Congrats to them, they're the better team.

12 point lead is nothing


I believe he's referring to the Warriors being held to 12 points in the 4th.

He should only shoot when at least decently open, for some reason he thinks otherwise, but he did make some nice defensive plays

I thought Green played well overall, he was a game high +14. He took some tough shots but that's just part of his game like JR Smith.


It's the warriors every possesion counts he took like 3 crazy shoots. Had that been JR lebron would have beaten his ass. discipline is everything against this team

That would be very tough to overcome GSW @ Oracle

It was a reasonable decision IMO when you're down 2-1 on the road. You might want to roll with your most trusted guys.

Lmao yeah you're not getting away with that narrative homie. The Warriors ARE the better team. Most stacked team in NBA history.

They still hold the biggest choke ever don't worry.

He was 1-4 and if I remember correctly he took 2 bad shoots but in any case his defense made up for it that's why he was a game high +14.

Excellent game by Paul. The poise was unbelievable.

I'm glad such a great player finally gets to have at least some level of playoff success whether or not he wins a title.

I am happy to see Warriors reduced to isolation ball in large part because of Kevin Durant. When he left OKC people acted like his isolation style was an OKC bad habit rather than a large part of his game. Old habits die hard.

Thats BS and you know it. The world is result oriented. Get your head out of your ass. That 'stacked' narrative is a 2nd grade psychology ploy to artificially pump up and exaggerate the dubs skill and talent in order to mock them when the eventual loss comes. You people don't fool anyone with an IQ over 1.

They're frontrunners. Still a GREAT team, but frontrunners none the less.


Big time front runners. First sign of adversity you see the panic start to set in.

True he was beastin defensivly but it was plus minus zero it was funny seeing him do a kobe 180 spin 3pt miss and then immediatly after do a monster block. Gerald mind is Like marco polo

You haven't watched much NBA then, haha. The coach and players tell the ref they are calling timeout before the play and begin yelling it before the player grabs the ball. As they touch it cleanly the ref will whistle the timeout. I've seen it take off .1 or .2 of a second plenty of times in that instance.
