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

Man, I don't know. At least from what I'm seeing on my timeline, fans have had enough.

Fed up with Harden and his disappearing act after April. Fed up with Capela. Fed up with Paul. Fed up the fact that latter two are basically stealing paychecks from the Rockets.

And I'm like...y'all loved this garbage all year, when Harden was scoring 30+ every game and chanting "MVP" during his 40 FT attempts a night...so what happened? Fans, man. Bucks fans like, "Is this your king?"

Who would've thought that at the end of this season, the two most liked players on this team would be Steph's future brother-in-law and Tucker.

I dont mind paul but I cant stand Harden. He is so overrated its not even funny. I dont think he will ever average the type of points he did this regular season again not even close and he always chocks and is style is just not fun to watch. The BS calls that he gets that no one and I mean no one gets greatly improves his stats and makes him look better than he really is. Some one who takes like 13-14 3 pointers a game should not be leading and leading by a mile in FTA.

This is a good one. CP3 denied Curry shooting session before the game. Wouldn't even share the court with him lol.

That's hilarious.

As much complaining as we heard about this series, a little injection of old school petty gamesmanship wont kill anyone, lol

Steph got the last laugh.

Late response, but that's crazy 6 times they got away with this play. A simple side PnR smh. Horrible PnR defense tbh. Just looks like the rockets gotta set their guys to "stay attached" lol.

We'll they're also bringing Klay up top at the the same time around a double stagger on the weak side but


Either way like OJ said it was pathetic defense.

Warriors have done this with Steph and Dray all season to keep teams from leaving Dray out there when his shot REALLY was trash earlier this season.

Yeah, I agree with you. But I'm 42 and grew up on 80's and 90's era basketball.

Trust me (if you will), this current generation don't roll like that....at all. It wasn't well received.

Working in pro sports one of the biggest things I had to get over was this was not my generation anymore...a new generation with their own unspoken rules and view of things. Many of my friends especially those 10 years older than me will never accept it.

It's like Fresh Prince said "Parents just don't understand."

Completely threw the Rockets. We probably won't see a team guard the Warriors better for the rest of the playoffs....but they weren't ready for it.

I see what jeebs was getting at..not anything groundbreaking....but it was a smart wrinkle to go to after the game had stagnated a bit.

This is the stuff they've bailed a on a lot so that KD can attack his mismatch...they should get back to it.

I remember that one. That more or less started the annual tradition of burying Harden in the playoffs. He went like 2/10 in that game.

They've been running this all season even with Durant though.

Jeebs was acting like they did something monumentally astounding and no one else has done it before.

Houston choked and played some trash defense down the stretch

Not in this series though, hence all the Durant iso's...Houston had been stifling all their actions.

I guess you can call it trash defense- but I thought pulling that out at the end of an elimination game was good coaching....pick and roll is the hardest play on the game to defend...and with that personnel its about 10x harder. I can see how HOU couldnt quite adjust. If there was a Game 7 they probably would of been more prepared.

It's like when yall get on OJ about his Curry gameplan...it just ain't easy, lol
