**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

Curry don’t get calls cause he’s a damn jump shooter. Stop acting dumb

Harden took almost twice as many 3’s as Curry this season

So is he not a jump shooter?

-Warriors killed on the glass again.

-They had a shot to win or tie after being outplayed again. I think they can win this in 6.

-Steph needs to stop trying to draw fouls while shooting 3’s. He’s not getting those calls. He’s all off balance.

Y'all told me W's with Iggy would win in 5

You don’t hoop and you dont watch games. Not sure why here??

Except for the fact that, I don't know, the bucks were a far better team all year.

“There is no legitimate reason to think this series won’t be close.” I’ll always remember this when your paying Gordon Hayward

The funniest part of the Celtics pulling off the most lopsided trade in history was that the team they traded with ended up in a better longterm position.


Life is funny like that I guess.

Dont worry my guy..Iggy will be semi finals MVP in six. dont @ me or whatever kids say nowadays to show how confident they are

Gonna have to settle for 6.

I think Draymond wasn’t his best tonight. Some bad rotations, fouls, TO’s..and gave up some pivotal offensive boards.

Like him pushing it tho. Rockets so queued in to touching the warriors scoring 3 that he has free reign. It’s almost like bait tho. It works some...but encourages that over settling into what they do.

Houston plays gimmick ball which I hate...but MDA is smart in baiting you to play out of character.

Dray needs to work on full speed full-court layups for the next two days in practice. Regular layups too. Same with Iggy.

gsw has been playing basically 100 games of championship basketball for 5 years. they are bound to slow down at some point. they have been mentally and physically drained all year. i wouldnt be surprised if they won the series...not surprised if they lost either.

This dude citing every match up in league history. might as well say “boogie vs KAT”

 

[drunken cow]

I don’t see how y’all praise iggy when Harden was working him the last two games. Hell, harden worked the whole team. And now the team finding their shot, rivers, Gordon, and tucker. See ya In 7.

Iggy has been very good. I'll always give credit where credit is due. Just an asinine statement that people believed they'd win in 5 last year if he was healthy tho

Can't blame him really, Harden cooks everyone and now that he's starting to go back to his bread and butter and mixing up the drives and stepback's...even had a midrange stepback on KD tonight. Sheesh. Bag alert

Did this ***** stop watching hoops after ‘01

Did this ***** stop watching hoops after ‘01

His decisions as GM would make you think that

Look how he assembled the Lakers


How you build a team with no outside shooting in today’s game

Steph was waving himself off. Lowball disgusting.

TARGETED.
HUNTED.
SOUGHT AFTER.

Steph my guy, but seeing it in person, he wants no parts of that pick and roll
It was good to see him attack the rim more. His wiggly isn’t what it once was, but he can still get to where he wants to on the floor.

Durant is special. If you haven’t got a chance to see him in person yet, do it before he declines.

Draymond pushing the rock is a gift and a curse. Since the playoffs started he’s doing his job.

Klay.......son gotta chill. He’s taking bad shots because the defense is playing hard.

GS Bench......


I will say Capela, has been taken out of this series so far, the Rockets aren’t looking for the lob as much as they usually do.

CP3 is a *****. A lot of dirty ish goes on the camera doesn’t show. He’s been reduced to flopping around, throwing his body mad awkward.

PJ is playing his tail off. No slander from me. He’s making everything tough for KD.

I don’t like Harden period. But minus his antics and flopping, he can score the ball. He’s legit. I missed the push off argument but it’s valid. He nudges not extended the elbow, the defenders try to overcompensate to challenge the shot(why not just jump straight up?) 4 point play opportunities

Eric Gordon, he’s hoopin. Rockets would be done without him. GS might want to stay at home on the shooters regardless who’s in the game because they’re rotations have been trash since they cut the bench useage down.

I had GS in 7 and I’m sticking to that. [/QUOTE]

when the rockets brass get their head out of their @zzez and start letting them shoot mid range shots, harden is gonna be unstoppable. IMO

2 W's for me in the past 3 days and a good GoT episode yesterday.

Sorry my guy

Szn 4 is lowkey the best season tho

in a series against the warriors, not sure if I'd trade 3 pointers for mid range jumpers. houston won on the strength of their 3s falling in games 3 and 4, especially those from their role players, Gordon, Tucker, and Rivers. Gotta play the percentages and continue to let them shoot. I dont see any of those guys suddenly taking more midrange shots, plus, hardens dribble step back to the three point line creates so much space for an open 3. only reason i'd want harden taking midrange shots is if he was coming off screens like klay.

They don’t value the midrange shot. Their data tells them 3’s, FTs
