Wait till someone posts a video that wasn't recorded by a brisket.

Gordon might have got his arm on that play. It's very hard to say. Could be very minimal, but if its a touch it's a foul.

Don’t have the technology but if you want a laugh go back and watch the slow replay when hardens arm hit Draymond in the face, his arm brushes against Greens face , there’s a sizable pause the Green falls out like he was hit with a ton of bricks, then he lays on the flooor forcing the TO laying it on so thick, only to be back in after the commercial.

Looked like he got all ball to me but it's fast and not great quality

It's not an obvious call if it was a foul anyway so quit your crying.

Weren't they in the bonus with lots of time left in the fourth quarter after they couldn't hit anything?

boohoo

It should never have been close to begin with

rockets should be up 3-1

Yeah that was a funny scene (after watching the replay). It was very Hardenesque.

still waiting and hoping someone takes the bet. Houston fans you gotta do this!

Roughly 1 week ago, both MIL (after Game 1) and HOU (After Game 1 and especially after Game 2) were left for dead by many.

Interesting how 1 Week can radically change things.

Damn Durant tried knocking cp3 teeth out

This always happens in series. Home team wins the first two games and apparently the series is over. Houston looks better at home and squares it up and The dubs are done. I bet GS wins game 5 and the pressure is back on the Rockets.

This series is likely going 7 games.

In saying that, Kerr needs to make adjustments to win. They're too small and Bogut or Looney should be getting mins. You didn't run with green/Durant as your PF C combo all season so why do it now? No paint protection against Harden.

Philly left for dead after game 1, raps after game 3. That’s real GM for you.

Lol. This is what happens when you’re use the refs giving you everything. You start to believe they’re suppose to help you even when you’re not even touched

I came to see GS haters complain about the refs even though Houston won. I was not disappointed.

It's amazing Houston could win a game that was that close in the last minute with the refs rigged against them. They must be the greatest team ever.

That's why I believe the Rockets are able to hang with the Warriors despite being significantly less talented than the Warriors overall. The Warriors have never been more dangerous than when Curry was focal point of their offense. Curry's just a better player at leading a team to great heights.

In RS this is true but in playoffs when everything tightens up everyone knows everyone's stuff in a 7 game series, you need a guy who can break all kinds of defense, and that's LeBron, KD, Giannis, Kawhi, Harden, but Curry is kind if both relying on the system to help him while at the same time helping the system.

That's why KD led GS team looked a lot worse than Curry led GS in regular season, but KD won both FMVP and had two undisputable better post season runs than Curry. Those times Harden and LeBron fell short, is not because they were worse than Curry, but they had worse supporting cast overall. Sometimes no Kyrie and Love, sometimes no Paul. The one time LeBron won, was before KD joining them.

The league initially didn't know how to respond to the revolutionary Curry, some probably started to see the path forward, but couldn't respond quick enough. Hey, a team was still stuck with a Drummond Monroe Smith "big 3" contracts, how to respond? By the time everyone started to catch up, KD joined, and by joining GS he threw a new question mark to the rest 29 teams, a question mark this time round truly had no answer.

To beat them? Just hope you have red hot shooting nights + they go cold + ref at least being fair, 4 out of 7 games. And that's mostly because of KD.

You are right it was a little depressing to see even in game 2-4 three very clean whistled games, there were still a whole bunch of posters complain about referee. I bet in everygame you can post "ah finally the ref started to work", whichever side you seem to think they are rigging. And it's not like those 3 games were boring slugfests, they were all playoff classics.

In all honesty, I think Houston got some favored calls tonight. Maybe one out of bound call against them, but a few overly roughing up in the paint could have sent Curry and Draymond to the line. One Klay foul on Harden was also very very late whistle, took like 2 seconds.

Regarding the posted video above... I don't know if Curry was fouled or not, maybe he wasn't. I do know that the vid is useless. The frames where Gordon's swipe is at it's furthest reach are completely unusable - you can't see Gordon's hand at all. So people see there what they want to see.

How the hell that wasn't a foul when Durant hit Harden in the head?

Durant even injured his elbow on that play how hard he hit him in the head...

Kds getting was pretty angry and aggressive this game. Dudes playing insane.

Hopefully curry stays meth curry

I always question slow motion replays for stuff like that. You have to remember that human reaction time is actually not instantaneous, everyone has a pause before reacting, it's just that the pause is in milliseconds, but if you watch something in slow motion, well now you're going to notice it.

What's your prediction?
