Y’all acting like GS didn’t play well.. losing KD is irreverent if everyone in the court is playing good. It’s not like Houston blew a big lead or GS was awful once KD went down.

You have to see how much of a missed opportunity that was for Houston. You have to. Lol

It might go 7 maybe but I'm glad this series is almost over.

Touch game, hate to see KD get hurt though. No matter how much animosity or whatever their is, guys getting hurt just sucks all around and I hope it isn't anything too serious. Just have to bring it for Game 6.

Warriors definitely stepped up but the Rockets should have been able to take advantage of that. Paul and Harden disappeared again in that fourth quarter after KD went down and down the stretch. Figures.

I guess we have different definitions of a landing zone. That’s not plenty of space. He didn’t get hurt because of Shump so I’m not even mad at it. I’m just saying that when anybody from the Warriors especially Draymond’s feet were even remotely that close to anybody shooting a jumper all hell was breaking loose about dirty play and we had to have pages of discussions about landing zones and now not a peep on any basketball discussions that I’ve seen about landing zones?

KD is fading away+ he lands on his right foot first not his left.

I think if this is your definition of taking away his landing space then pretty much everyone would have a different definition of the situation.

Also your picture misleading, as KD’s left foot is actually behind his other foot, and not even close to Shump’s as it looks in your picture.



To me if this is taking away landing space then every jump that isn’t open is someone taking away landing space. They look further apart on the land than they do when he starts to jump.. not even close IMO.

That's why the Rockets are the biggest joke in the NBA. KD out for the entire fourth quarter, and these jag offs still can't win. Forfeit the series please.

That's part of my point OJ. After Kawhi got hurt every Warriors closeout including ones exactly like this was overanalyzed to death and people were calling foul and we literally had arguments on this board and on other basketball discussions around the net about every close out and what was and wasn't a clean close out. Hell the Rockets were just bitching up a storm about closeouts when Harden was jumping 50 feet across the court into people about landing space and now it's crickets when KD got hurt. All I was saying was I found that funny.

2 WORDS I never want to hear again after this season


Camp

Landing Space


You'd get laughed off the playground, out the park, off the court for trying to pull that kind of language/nonsense

I get what you’re saying, but there were only like 4 of us posting when this play happened and pretty much nobody felt he was in his landing space or had anything to do with the injury. So I don’t know what you are expecting. GS took 85 shots tonight, if you’re expecting this one to get questioned then we might as well toss in 30-40 more for both teams. It was pretty routine.

It wasn't really looking at JUST here. I was just looking at all the basketball discussion spots on the net including here and I didn't see any mention about landing zones. I even saw a couple guys flat out said it was karma for "all the players GS has injured." So it was humorous to me that that was the exact type of closeout that we were having all kinds of arguments about here and other places online and now nobody wants to talk about that especially after the Rockets were JUST bitching about landing zones when HE was the one jumping into people. It was like the NBA's version of what's a catch for a bit there with the landing zone talk.

Just finished the game what a crazy end to the game and man hope KD is ok. If you are the rockets after losing this game you are kicking your self hard. Curry and Thompson finally had some moments even though where still not great and man that end where Thompson almost had the turnover.

Re: 2019 Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

As OJ mentioned, that contest was pretty typical...which is the biggest reason why no one has anything to say about it.

Why are you pushing this so hard man? [emoji23]

I'm not even pushing hard for it. Y'all keep throwing in your two cents. I explained where I was coming from, y'all could have left it at that and kept the discussion going about the game. I'm just responding to responses at this point.

I felt what you were saying King


Good game though I guess.

Like I said, can't wait til this one is over. It just needs to be for the sake of basketball talk in general.

I heard LeBron James Harden only took 1 shot in the last 8 minutes.
