WCF: P3 | (1) Houston Rockets vs (2) Golden State Warriors | Tied 2-2

[afarmenian]

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.

Youve never seen it youre making stuff up. Stop embarrassing yourself or find some evidence.

I think he's confused. You can call a time out in advance on a made FT... not after a miss lol.

No this is all time jokes so literally thinks after a miss you can grab the rebound cleanly establish possession with the other team fighting for the ball. Have the scorekeeper start the clock and stop the clock in .1 secs because the player touched the ball and after a timeout is signaled.

You literally have to be mentally challenged to be believe that

[xfactor]

The rockets could be up 3-2 against the mighty warriors after next game , let that sink in

That would be a surprise to the ignorant casuals only.

I'm not surprised in the least.

You've hated on your team all year

Why? You were all doom and gloom after game 2 as well.

I'm just a realist. And obviously I know what I'm talking about, as I'm usually right. I just try to bring a dose of reality to combat these stupid narratives.

Klay Thompson gave the Warriors absolutely nothing tonight.

You can blame Kerr, you can blame Curry, you can blame whatever but it's year 7 in the league for Klay and he still can't dribble or create his own shot.

That's not his game and no amount of time in the league will change that

[1993Playoffs]

I guess steph is back to being hurt now lmaoo

[Mister Ze]

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.

Durant's iso ball is still better offense than most teams in the league. Dude's ridiculously efficient. They didn't drop this one cause of him IMO

27 pts on 24 shots is not efficient. Definitely a big reason why they lost

When both teams score under 100 points then it is. Klay went 4/13 from the field he was a bigger part of the problem tonight along with Draymond's 5 turnovers.

[Screwston]

Steph is injured again AHAHAHA

[Kilmonger]

Steph is hurt™

Of course they did because of him.


Doesnt matter how it usually us. He sucked tonight, his average wont save him for TONIGHT.

Think about this logically. Both teams scored under 100 points and Durant had 27 points on 24 shots, he played good.

Draymond Green had 5 turnovers and Klay went 4/13 - those 2 areas are much worse than KD. Let's not automatically blame Steph and KD always.

Thats literally below league average, that mark.

For the record, my original post wasn't blaming KD, as I don't believe isolation ball is inferior to ball movement. I was just pointing out that OKCs isolation style while KD was there was in large part because of KD (and RWB), and the perception that KD was simply trapped in an iso system is false.

Right about what?

You thought the series was over after Houston won the 2nd game...

It’s not KD’s fault. Give credit to the Houston defensive scheme. Golden State lost in 2016 in large part due to them not having an iso player. Now it’s KD’s fault he’s changing the way Golden State is playing?

What?


KD was taking terrible fadeaway 3's not even hitting the rim....


this loser gets to join the most loaded team ever and some of you betas actually SAVE FACE for his failures?


Whats wrong with some of you dudes man lol

KD has carried this team in the playoffs this yr and last yr....not sure what you have been watching...hes the least of their problems....as someone said Curry was 1-11 late 3rd Q and all of 4Q

[Biased_Fan6425]

KD ISO ball is going to get him out of town IMO...

[whatisacenter]

Dang, what a wild series this is becoming! It’s like a heavyweight fight with bombs be landed by both fighters. Best two out of three now with the rockets reclaiming HCA. Should be good

[life_saver]

Everyone keeps blaming KD lol....if KD isn't there, they would have been 3-1 down in this series...Steph seems to be golden boy and everyone is scapegoating KD for everything. Most of the Warriors fans love Steph more than KD, so no surprise that they are trying to blame KD for everything. Do people realize that this team wasn't some invincible team before KD came in? They beat a Cavs team who didn't have their 2nd and 3rd best players...then lost a 3-1 lead. Stop blaming everything on KD fgs

[iggymcfrack]

Not that the Warriors have ANY reason to complain with how stacked their team is, but the Iggy injury was big, it could be a real turning point in this series. Livingston 4 turnovers and -15 in 15 minutes. Young 2 points and -14 in 12 minutes.

Right about who the better teams are, and who wins games, and series. Accurate assessment of teams strengths and weaknesses. I said HOU in 6 or 7. I've predicted every series correctly. I predicted HOU would be the #1 seed, and win the Championship. I also call out the BS narratives of the 'Stacked' team hype created by those who just want to mock the Dubs. Seeing this is not even that difficult.

KD is avg 29 pts on 50% FG...Klay 44.5 FG%....also KD avg just as many assts as Curry

[Franco]

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

Fair enough. I've played my fair share, but never actually tried to intentionally hit the front of the rim.

Well I was gonna come back and politely apologise and say you know what I'm wrong, maybe the times I'm thinking of actually took off .5 or so but you just had to be an ass hat didn't ya?

You said the Pelicans might beat the Warriors. They lost in 5.

Did you think Cleveland would beat the Warriors last year?

And the narrative isn't bs.

A 73-9 team added an MVP caliber player in his prime. If they lost this series(albeit to a very good Houston team), it'd be a colossal failure.
