2017 NBA Playoffs Thread - CLE @ BOS Game 5 on TNT

[Based Jesus]

Rockets just looking lazy as hell right now

Ryan Anderson made his first 3 of the series a minute ago.

0-11 in Houston.

That is how bad his shooting splits are.

Billy needs to give Taj 30minutes, that is all.

 

[Warmachine85]

Russ needs to chill let his team cook

 

[nick.]

Y'all see Harden try to pad his stats with that rebound?

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

See what happens when you don't play hero ball.

Also, Roberson has been playing extremely well.

 

[HOU$TON]

Rockets playing so sloppy

 

[MVP]

See what happens when you don't play hero ball.

You act like they weren't up double digits most of the last game though.

Beverly with 1rb and that was all

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Why they got these games starting only 30 mins apart? Should be at least a hour.

And they got to double digits by them playing like this, Russ included.

In crunch time though he forgets how to do this.

He won't do this. He freaks out.

 

[MVP]

Going into Steven Adams for offense is not the wave.

I know, that's my point . Then they decided to throw the game plan in the trash and play hero ball.

 

[HOU$TON]

What's with the rebounding?

 

[MVP]

I know, that's my point

. Then they decided to throw the game plan in the trash and play hero ball.

The lead disappeared though the moment he came out of the game. They've played hero ball for most of the season and he's come though far more often this season than not, just didn't happen last game. Role players play better at home so maybe they won't be so tight and passive.

The lead disappeared without Russ in the game. He came back in and said "eff passing", panicked and proceed to put up 18 (mostly bad) shots.

That's how they've played all season though in tight games all Russ all the time. Just didn't pan out last game. 

 

[Based Jesus]

Russ aint panic. That's just who he is. He sees his time to shine and he takes it. He's been doing it for years.

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

That's how they've played all season though in tight games all Russ all the time. Just didn't pan out last game. 

And it'll never pan out in the playoffs, unless they just want to get swept

 

[datznasty]

Yall act like the lead was blown with Russ on the floor. Look at the +/- of his sub. Russ sits down up 12 and literally a minute later the lead is 3. You play him 48, he is tired going into the clutch moments but you sit him, you lose those minutes badly too. O

bviously everyone has come out much more frisky at home tonight and everyone is playing better so far. We just need that confidence to sustain for 48 minutes and not dissipate when the game gets tight

Just want to know why someone as athletic as Oladipo doesn't drive to the basket.

below avg handles and weak first step

He can't dribble.
