He literally made a 3 to seal the title in 2017 and 2018.

Those weren't particularly tight moments. Coronation finals series against a hopelessly overmatched foe.

Not that I think he actually tightens up too much though.

Even I’m standing up and clapping for CP3 and especially PJ Tucker. All heart. You can’t ask anything more from them.

Tucker never gives up. :lol:

Can you imagine a 3PT and 1?


I guess they thought they were only up by 3. Yeah, it was incredibly foolish to even get close to Durant.

Klay is hurting the team.

Tucker is the 2nd best player for Houston today.

we played our game in the 4th but garbage performance through 1-3rd.
I wish Curry can be aggressive like in the 1st and 4th...his basketball iq is really questionable for this series.

Another fitting conclusion to the game where our top two players got opportunities to tie it and missed in the last 10 seconds. I still feel good about the series though. Our shooting cannot be this atrocious night in and night out.

All GS has to do is get stops and feed durant the ball. They're losing because they keep trying to get curry and klay going so it throws durant off his game. Ball movement is great in the regular season but ISO is what it comes down to in big moments.

Hasn't this series clearly proven that's not the case? Curry and Durant had good games but they still lost.


No. They gave up 2 to the Clippers too, it actually hasn’t proven anything. They’re still laughably good - don’t be a prisoner of the moment.

Do you guys have any faith in the Rockets winning Game 5? KD had an alright game by his standards, Klay shot like garbage, and Curry was below par, while Harden was fantastic, and Houston still barely managed to hang on and win at home. I can't see them stealing Game 5 at Oracle, but we'll see.

These two teams are really evenly matched. Even when the Rockets had a double digit lead I never really felt comfortable. Hate to still be bitter about game 1 but this could potentially be 3-1 Rockets if officiating by the NBA's admission was done better and IMO if Austin Rivers played game 1 as well. As much as Warriors clamored about Iguodala's absence in the 2017-2018 WCF, Rivers absence may have been similar for the Rockets. His impact in the playoffs has been enormous especially since House isn't receiving PT and Shumpert can be a knucklehead on the court sometimes.

Role players tend to go cold on the road

Klay still hasn’t had his big game yet

You can see Harden running out of gas little by little
