[CobraCommander]

Can iggy be THIS important?

apparently so which says something about their core.

Oh yeah...Yolandi - banana brain

Rox is built with trying to beat the Warriors. They’re looking good for now

[Admiral-Kizaru]

Dray will get deservedly criticized for the turnover at the end, but it shouldn't overshadow his crucial drive and lob followed by a clutch 3 that kept the Dubs in it down the stretch. Dray's a baller. Dubs in a tough spot, but if Iggy is healthy for game 6, I still like Dubs in 7.

The question that nobody wants to ask is just wth is Curry doing in 4th quarters? He keeps passing the ball to Durant, Green and Klay then these pathetic Curry fans keep blaming them for taking the tough shots while Curry disappears. If he is such a great scorer why isn't he taking over? This isn't on Kerr either, Curry has to take over instead of dropping the ball like a hot cake in the clutch. I see too many excuses for Curry who is supposedly one of the greatest shooter/ scorers ever according to these fans....

Just too much respect for KD and Kerr listening to them. He needs so straight up tell them to **** off.

[Nowitness]

I need a mouth reader to get what CP3 said......his expressions look like he's done

lol people are not seeing Curry passing up the ball or isoing when he can just like KD. Curry will have the ball at the top hou will switch and take them off their sets and they end up going to KD iso. KD will get a lot the blame but they give him the ball cause they couldn't do ****.

[Hello Brooklyn]

Iggy's importance is amplified on this team because they literally have nobody to replace him with.

Looney or Cook should not be playing major minutes in the playoffs.

That's the weakness of a Super Team. You have no depth.

Without their death lineup, the Warriors lose their magic.

[Zion Wembanyama]

HOU doesn't have house money now. They need to win game 6, or it's a wrap, imho.

[nyczlegacy]

wait so is cp3 confirmed done for the rest of the playoffs?

GSW will win in 7 then easily

[Mr.Raptorsingh]

Eric Gordon gotta step up if Paul can't play

[Cappy_Smurf]

If you're GS you're not upset that you're down 3-2. Paul is banged up and Iggy is coming back.

Harden needs to get his act together I don't know what the **** is wrong with him

That's some really rosy colored glasses you got there. Game 7 is not in their building, and the odds will be minimal that they win it, if they even make it.

Nah. If they go to a game 7 they'll have about equal odds of winning the series. I'd probably still pick them as favorites in a game 7. Houston is good, but they are never going to be heavy favorites against this dubs team, assuming everyone is healthy.

[red96]

Warriors really miss Iguodala. The Hampton 5 lineup is a cheap replica out there without him.

Despite that, game came down to a single possession and Green blew it without much pressure from Gordon. Essentially, an unforced turnover as Green attempted to make a move without full control of the ball.

The Rockets were getting the best of the Hampton 5 before Iggy got hurt.

[dreadhead_htx]

the gsw is a great team but this defense we are playing is godly. their was also the play in the corner were they tried to get an open three in the corner using clay or steph and every one on the rockets switched and capela defended what 98 percent of the league would have gave up that open three. they have taken away golden states strengths you fools. stop overreacting and watch the game. geez

[Tracymcgoaty]

I'd need to see it again, but it looked more like a cramp than an injury.

thats the only hope i have that maybe its one of those really bad charley horses

Wishful thinking but I'd like to think if it was his hammy, he wouldn't have been moving on it the way he was. Fingers crossed.

he'll play no doubt in my mind he wont be 100% but he'll play.

[Inevitable]

Kerr needs to be fired if they lose this series

[TommyPoints]

wait so is cp3 confirmed done for the rest of the playoffs?

GSW will win in 7 then easily

No, people are guessing.

[baller16]

So we're all gonna ignore the fact that KD had 0 assists this game? Lol

[Coach Carter]

houston deserve to win the title, not so much harden

[Duke4life831]

WHY ARE PEOPLE BLAMING KERR???
He specifically told KD to stop the iso and KD isoed the next play. You could see Kerr screaming for him to do something.

It’s not Kerr’s fault that KD won’t stop the iso.

Yes that is on Kerr. If he tells a player something and the player doesnt do it, guess what. Kerr is the coach and has the ability to take him out of the game and keep him out until he buys into the team system instead of the ISO.

If anything the fact that it was known that Kerr was telling him to stop ISOing and KD didnt, speaks volumes for KD and the respect he has for Kerr as the head coach.

[G R E Y]

This is just painful. I have no doubt we'll win next game but I really want Durant gone in the offseason. He is ruining this team.

GSW ran just as much iso when he was on the bench for Curry,

He shot them out the game and froze the ball movement whenever he was in the game. Like I'm at a loss for words. Steve Ker.... Durant.....

Kerr's just too nice, or at least he appears to use the more amiable approach, but you have to keep players accountable.

When Kerr played for the Spurs, he knew that he - and every other player - would hear it from Pop if they didn't do what was required. Kerr admitted he was the more sensitive sort and Pop, picking up on that, didn't go that hard on him, but that's not to say there weren't consequences for poor play.

Kerr seems like a very nice man, and a good coach, but he comes across like a pal, like his instructions are suggestions. You don't have to yell, but you do have to send a message. I hope they all, coach to players, have another more cohesive gear in them.

I also really hope CP3 will be ok. As a Spurs fan, I totally understand the sense of unfinished business because of injury. I hope Rockets fans are spared this, and the games are decided by full squads, and may the better-executing team on both ends win.
