I just saw on the screen watching Jalen and Jacoby show on espn that 8 Golden State Warriors players have defended James Harden. James Harden has made at least 1 field goal on all 8 defenders.

I've always thought when your going against a really great player on the other team that IF you have the personal of 2 or more guys than can guard that 1 guy, You should switch defenders guarding that 1 guy to give him different looks. But it all depends on the personal you have on your roster. I've thought also that certain guys can get in a rhythm/ groove when they are guarded by that 1 guy the whole time. It's not always about this guy is constantly scoring on this defender and we need to switch the matchup, but perhaps switch defenders on certain players constantly to prevent this guy or that guy from getting too comfortable.

The 4th best player on the roster is supposed to get the crumbs left by others.

Harden is getting all the defensive attention from the Warriors. They changed their starting lineup with the sole reason to defend him. They've put their best defenders on him. And he's averaging 36 ppg on 57 TS% in the series against this defense.

But arent the Rockets putting there best defender on Curry. That would explain why he is shooting so bad. If the Rockets where defending someone else as the main focus, Curry's numbers would shoot up right?

When you got 4 allstars, you can't complain about the refs. Thats the price you pay, sorry bud.

I was poking fun at the Rockets for making a report. The refs have missed dozens of calls in every game in the history of the game. It's just the Rockets complaining about it is the irony to end all ironies.

The Rockets are putting their best defender, PJ Tucker, on Durant.

Winner of Game 5 will win this series IMO.

The Clippers stole 2 at the Oracle. I wonder if the Rockets can steal Game 5. The Warriors will be prepared for sure.

90+% of posters here will only mention reffing that perceive as hurting their team (or helping their hated team). So < 10% have any credibility.

Watch on YouTube

Yet another great job by ElGee here. I'll fully give durant credit for how well he's playing, but with the continued piling on steph this video is important.

Thanks for posting that. I didn't know ElGee was producing content. Good stuff.

You should check out the other videos. They're all really well done.

For the ratings, the NBA want it to go to 7.

Too bad it's not up to the NBA.

Are people still trying to convince themselves that GS won’t make the finals this year?

As Nas said “It was written”

Golden state isn’t losing 2 out of 3 at home. The Clippers series was interesting too until it wasn’t.

Rockets need hca more this time around than last, I think that will be the deciding factor in this series.

Well they only need to lose 1 out of 2 at home

Who's it going to be?
