Wow

I hate random stats out of context.

It doesn't factor in things like opponent's pressure, time pressure, game pressure, confidence, fatigue etc.

I mean there's a 1 in 11.5 million chance of getting attacked by a shark but if you live in the middle of the country and never go close to the coast and stay away from aquariums your whole life there's a 0% chance you'll be attacked. If you are a professional surfer like Mick Fanning your chances of being attacked by a shark increases significantly.

These kind of stats are meaningless to me.

Crazy stat:

Only KD made a FT for GSW. He shot 7-10. Looney and Klay combined for 0-4.

[sikma42]

Warriors got another title. Congrats to them.

Cavs don’t have enough talent to compete imo

Big props to the rockets. Better team for sure, but you can’t control the circumstances that were imposed on you with the officiating.

You're at the 2nd stages of grief. But know this, the refs don't make you miss 27 consecutive threes.

Easy to go cold when momentum shifts. Ever played basketball?

If the internet existed back in the 80’s, you’d probably hear how people are so sick of seeing Lakers-Celtics in the finals

[bmurph128]

Durant showed up when the game mattered. He's the 2nd best player in this league. Let's not kid ourselves. I can't stand that jackass, but dude was clutch as hell and totally carried his team.

I agree that KD closed this game and without him they lose....and I think these playoffs showed that he's better than Curry.

But I wouldn't take him over Harden or Kawh.

feel for CP3, has that champion mentality harden will never have, damn body fails him every time though

CP has a champion mentality? Lol. Why? Because he’s small and feisty? Dude gets so much praise for accomplishing so little.

I agree...Looked really bad this series...Just the way he carries himself...Whole season done....FU Paul

[-Sammy-]

The real winners tonight? The anti-LBJ cabal.

[JaysRule25]

So happy to see GS advance. We played with a ton of heart and came back from some huge deficits this series.

[Vayuputra]

And to think, Kobe was able to win a championship with Trevor Ariza starting. GOAT status if you ask me.

That was 10 years ago, when Ariza was an awesome defender and a good 3 pt shooter. And Kobe had Gasol and Odom who were All-Stars or played at that level. This is like saying Kobe is better than Lebron because Lebron didn't win with a 350 lb, 40 year old Shaq....

[BayWarrior]

For all those that say if CP3 was healthy Houston wins, its quite possible if Iggy was healthy, this might not have gone 7 games.

[TheNewEra]

lmaoo this goof is about to win his first championship.

Of the old core wizards squad crazy John Wall might be the only one to not win a title.

Curry had more to do with digging em outta the hole though...

[inquisitive]

rockets exceeded all expectations this season and were basically done in the waning moments of game 5 when cp3 went down. no shame in that.

[nikster]

The Warriors played like hot trash for at least 24 of the 48 minutes of this game and got bailed out by Ryan Anderson's 8 minutes and Houston missing a bajillion 3s in a row. I love my Warriors but they really need to get it together.

Sad thing is they dint even need to get it together to win easily

They didn't win that easily. Had Houston hit even 4 of 30 instead of 1 of 30 of those threes, they probably would have won this game going away.

I meant GSW will win in the Finals against Cleveland easily, even if they dont get it together

Yes.

But Houston had clean looks too and you can't blame that on the refs.

[xfactor]

Swaggy P and JR should hit that green together HARD

who says they're not gonna meet up before game 1?

Lol how? He helped carry his team to victory in Games 4 and 5.

[thelead]

The Rockets lost a winnable game but the refs completely took them out of their game in the 3rd. I'm boycotting the finals.

HOW IS THIS NOT A FOUL?!?

Watch on YouTube

Because Green didn’t foul him and Bell was an established defender who used the principle of verticality to avoid a foul from a smaller player who jumped from within the lane toward said established and taller defender?

What are you watching??? Green hacked him across the arm and Bell clearly is jumping towards Gordon while fading out to the baseline in-air. He clearly is going straight up and down.

[Boognish]

Well, it was fun while it lasted, but the Warriors fulfilled the odds pegged to their comeback chances and took care of their business in the end.

Great season, Rockets. You are a championship-level team, even if it can't be officialized this year; you just had the misfortune of playing against the most stacked team of the modern era, compounded by CP3's infelicitous injury.

Props to Curry and Durant for spearheading the second-half comeback; by doing so, they've staved off what would have been an irrecoverable blow to their legacies. Their confidence crescendoed when it mattered the most, and they made me retract all words I made to the contrary earlier.

Still not looking forward to Warriors-Cavaliers Part IV, but I've already steeled myself for it for some time by knowing that the basketball gods would be disgracious as usual.

Congratulations in advance to the champions-to-be Warriors, FWIW.

great word
