Feel like I watched this game on a big stage 3 times recently....MSU can’t make a 3 against Syracuse, Celtics can’t make one vs Cavs, and tonight Rockets vs Warriors.

All were obvious no calls, too. Ghost of Donaghy in the house tonight, haunting McD.

Watching LeBron and then watching Harden in key games, it feels kind of wrong Harden will win MVP.

If you’re a MVP you figure how to win the game...

If someone voted Lebron MVP 10 years running, I couldn't argue much

What a terrible pass by Harden when he looked like he had an easy 2.

Amazing they could have cut it to 4 and they brick 2 more 3s.

It kills me to think how much different this game would have been if Paul was healthy.

I hope LeBron somehow finds a way.

Harden looked like John Starks from the 94 finals, game 7 against Houston. Took too many shots and missed most of them.

It's amazing to think Houston was 0-27 from 3 for a stretch, and if they would have just instead been 3-27 they would be up by 2.

Disgusting shooting by houston, currys 3's in the third felt back breaking.
Houston looks like they could use a big man that can generate offense.

Warriors will never admit it but they have to know they dodged a bullet. Iggy or not, they have no business losing any series as long as their big 4 are healthy. If Paul didn't get hurt, they may have lost this game comfortably. Paul would have kept the offense in rhythm instead of them just jacking up bad shot after bad shot.

After game 5, Warrior fans were calling into NBA radio saying they didn't want him back and that he ruined the fun Warriors.

Warriors are too full of themselves anymore...well? Almost since the beginning of their run. They only bear down when they're rocked..they'll lose one of the first two in Oakland because of it.

It was terrible by Houston...just a bad shooting night. But this Houston team won 65 games, was missing their second best (or maybe best or most impactful) player and they took a GS team that had only lost three playoff games in two years prior to their meeting to 7 games.

I don't think they need anything, relatively speaking, compared to 28 other teams. If they would have just not uncharacteristically shot terribly from 3, they would have likely won.
