      This no quitting by the Rockets in the last seconds doesn't go unnoticed by me. Good, **** them, make them work.

        Harden has to just explode offensively in Houston.

          Glad to see it was all about Basketball last night. Like how it should be in the first place.

            IMO its probably one of the more evenly matched and fun free flowing series so far.

            Ghost.


            Also, these 10:30 start times in the east are painful. I watch the first quarter or half and call it a night.


            I did stay up for the whole game last night and I'm dreading it. No more of that. Good game though.

              I was watching but it was a work night, school night, toddler clogged up toilet, homework drama, no one cooked dinner, etc. I was barely able to watch much less watch and post on OS.

              But yeah, Dubs still so sloppy to me at times, take foot off gas way too often. Sloppy play at end of game was painful to watch. Did they want Houston to tie the game in the last 20 seconds? Curry hero ball when we go up by 10 or more always lets Houston back in the game. Fake double tech by the jittery ref. Harden focused on shooting instead of flopping is a dangerous sign (for Dubs) if he continues to do that. CP3 tempered his emotions but neutered himself in the process (except for that nutmeg on poor Looney). Thank goodness Draymond called Durant from the parking lot that day because without him...

              Also Kerr accidently stumbled into a magic lineup when Jerebko came in (he was READY to play) during first quarter but Kerr was to dense to see it and never went back to it. You have 2 ENERGY HUSTLE guys in McKinney and Jerebko that you can insert for an automatic injection of high effort....dude use it. Hopefully one of Kerr's interns points this out to him like they suggested he start Iggy in the 2015 finals. Freakin intern helped change the course of Warriors history.

                Houston is in trouble. GSW is locked in but then they still go into that mode like the last minute of the game where they don't finish. I like Houston's fight more it's just hard to beat GSW when their locked in.

                  Agreed. I'm glad he now keeps 2 of the Big 3 on the court now instead of 1. I mean that's the advantage that was suppose to have been used the whole time. Neither team has played great honestly. Houston has shot the 3 well but it's still not enough because they don't get any points in the mid range.

                      The Warriors caused a lot of turnovers early with all the trapping they were doing. I got to finish the fourth quarter in a few.

                        It's kinda crazy to keep gambling on that and the coach never adjusts from it.

                        For whatever reason the Nash Suns were so much more enjoyable to watch, but they had too many lapses of never playing defense which was a drag.

                        They did at least have Amare who could shoot a mid range jumper and did it well enough that it was used frequently, but this team man.. take away the lobs and Clint Capela looks spooky on offense.

                        PJ Tucker hit shots he'll likely clank more than make as the series goes on.

                        Chris Paul shrank in the 4th like, he had no presence.

                        I'm not seeing the "better than last years team" here. They've not been playing particularly well for awhile, and even with their answers they could never really erase that double-digit deficit.

                        The Warriors might do better on the road because they don't try to get ooohhs and ahhhs from the crowd doing unnecessary flashy stuff that backfires that results into turnovers which they've never corrected all of this time. That's one area Houston hasn't been able to exploit for some odd reason and its killing them.

                          The NBA is rescinding the technical fouls given to Draymond Green and Nene last night. Green is back to 3 technicals for the playoffs.

                            It was bogus, but why don't they stop quick tech ed malloy from just blowing the whistle just because?

                            Draymond got elbowed in the back of the head, stood up and said nothing,and dude gave him a tech.

                            This isnt his first go round either.
