PJ changes his pivot foot twice in this move. Traveling is never called in the NBA any more.

Or maybe cut back on the iso and set up some others for some shots considering he has Gordon, Anderson, Green, Ariza, Tucker, etc to shoot. I mean he really costs his team when he goes into selfish mode.

I think the Warriors need a rim protector like Bogut in their rotation. It seems like Draymond is overextended because he isn't shooting or defending like he did a couple seasons ago.

Cavs close out at home. Game 7 here we come!

Definitely. I think he needs to be getting to the rim more. He's settling for way too many 3's. Getting to the rim will provide more opportunities to dish to Gordon, et al., who are all shooting much better than him.

Houston system is so smart they only need 1 star to beat 4.

I wonder how many Houston fans complain about PJ Tucker? He would be perfect on our team next year if we choose Ayton.

Knight
Booker
Jackson
Tucker
Ayton

it will be kind of bittersweet when d'antoni reaches with houston what he was supposed to do with the suns back then.
i will be happy for him because he was a good coach who brought back the suns on the map. on the other hand i blame him and sarver for not living up tp the potential. all in all he is doing great in the play offs so far.

This GSW team is just unbearable.
They're quickly surpassing my hate for any LA player.

man CP3 better be back for game 7

Watching both of these teams are making me hate the 3pt shot. Hopefully these young centers in the league (especially Ayton) can bring some sort of balance.

How the hell did they get outscored by 40 in the second half? I was surprised to see Harden playing so well in the first half being the choker he has been in big meaningful games in the playoffs....doesn't seem like he did a whole lot in the second half. I wasn't able to watch much but was following the score and box scores.

There was no way they could have sustained that offense. Started like 8/12 from 3.

I'm expecting another blowout if CP3 can't play.

Too much dribbling... that was a lot of possessions with 20+ dribbles lol
I'm amazed that he still managed to be 'efficient' after doing his Trae Young impersonation.

They're screwed up because Dray just takes away their PNR game and CP3 helps with another shot creator.
If he's out for game 7 again, they're done.

The betting line started with GSW -4 and now it's -5.
It'll be interesting to see how much variation will happen.
For now, highly unlikely to see cp3 in game 7

As much as I hate to say it, if I was still gambling, I'd put a lot of money on GS to cover a spread under 10 or so if Paul isn't back, but I hope Houston beats them.

And that REALLY sucks that Love was just ruled out of game 7 for Cleveland.
