Shoutout to Wardell for intentionally blowing layups and missing his usual buckets to keep my Gentlemen's Sweep prediction alive.

See, the Spurs aren't the only idiots to forget to foul to extend the game. Why Golden State always sweating us?????

SMDH

And it isn't pretty or "good for basketball" but I wouldn't say Houston is totally unwatchable. Especially when Harden is making those step - back dagger three-point shots....

It's the 17 seconds of size up dribbles that precedes the shot that's my issue.

Is this a series again? Curry looked tired out there.

Call me crazy but I would quit leaving Gordon wide open from 3 if I’m Steve Kerr

If it's not that Chris Paul pounds the rock for 19 seconds before passing

Yeah, they've gone away from the pick and roll entirely too much. Especially at end of game situations, but the roster isn't as good depth wise (as last season) on the wings or after Capela.

Think they were a better, more dangerous threat when Harden & Paul were coming off screens and looking to pass or score. They score a ton with the Iso and step back three's, yet they are a lot more predictable.


All that said and Capela still averaged 16 & 11, so he's still eating good....

I'm kind of surprise 23 didn't come in here with his normal Houston offense sucks. But I guess that would be beating a dead bush.

I'd say no. Until they tie it up.

But I've been saying this for a while. When Curry is attacked. His offense can't just get going. Especially if Durant is hot. They don't run a offense. And no flow is established.

I just want to point out the one major plus for Bron not being in the playoffs.. it’s nice to be able to point out when a player looks tired, or when a good player goes 2/17 and we can point out that he played like *** without having to have 10 posts immediately after jumping on you for “making excuses” or “needs help” comments, etc, etc..

Yep they really went right at curry and tired him out. forced him to pick up fouls. weve seen him get frustrated be in foul trouble several times before in playoff games.

Part of the reason I kinda want Portland to pull it out because Dame/CJ will be going right at Steph..

On the reverse, Jokic would pose some matchup problems for them as well. And they probably have less guys to “hide” Curry on as well.
