CP0 is a dirty little bitch:

Kerr should put Zaza in tbh

[resistanze]

Harden tries to flop on 3 being guarded by Curry. Good god.

Here comes the third quarter flurry.

[Capt Bringdown]

Green baited Paul into the moronic foul, well-played.

[DAF86]

The Rockets, barely. Don't ever need to see CP0 get a ring, tbh.

More chances of Legoat ringing if he faces CPO and Choke so Harden, tbh.

[Capt Bringdown]

Houston vs Cavs would be a fun series.

CP0 is a dirty little bitch:

Kerr should put Zaza in tbh

You can't even make out what happened in that vid....

[Caltex2]

The problem for Kerr is his rotation has been thrown out of whack. On top of that, Looney is in foul trouble, meaning he has to dig deeper on his bench to give more players heavy minutes they aren't used to.

[resistanze]

Curry cooking.

[Caltex2]

More chances of Legoat ringing if he faces CPO and Choke so Harden, tbh.

If the Rockers beat the Warriors, what makes you think they can't beat the Cavs?

[lefty]

:lol today's nba

[Clipper Nation]

Looks like Curry's "injury" magically healed at halftime.

[Capt Bringdown]

All those blown layups are gonna bite Houston in the arse.

[Bill_Brasky]

:lol today's nba

:lol 2 30 foot shots just change the whole dynamic of the game

If the Rockers beat the Warriors, what makes you think they can't beat the Cavs?

Not saying they can't. In fact, I would probably favour them in a matchup vs the Cavs. I'm just saying that facing the Rockets would be an easier matchup than facing the Warriors.

[RD2191]

Roxs choke incoming

[RD2191]

Roxs allergic to defense

[DAF86]

CP0 statpadding.

[RD2191]

That's game

[DAF86]

Nothing you can do when they just start hitting three after three with a hand in their faces.

[resistanze]

Chris Paul and his soul-sucking, Westbrook-esque play.

[140]

:lol today's nba

[Bill_Brasky]

You just can't let Curry get to his spots. That opens it all up for them. He has good fakes but you should know where he's trying to go and you need to get there before he does.

[Capt Bringdown]

Game over!

[lefty]

Good night

[Bynumite]

Choke Paul trying to upstage Curry at his game :lol

[D-Wade]

Sigh

[Double-Up]

Roxs choke incoming

Are you even watching the game? There's no choking, Curry just caught fire.

[Caltex2]

That's game

This is typical Warriors, it's their quarter. Not over.

[Bill_Brasky]

Eric Gordon is the worst finisher I've ever seen.

[RD2191]

Roxs missed layups smh

[140]

:lol Chokets

[Killakobe81]

hey Jordan Bell he going left ...

[Capt Bringdown]

Choke Paul trying to upstage Curry at his game :lol

His shitty shot selection busted the game open for the Warriors.

[Bill_Brasky]

Get a fuckin rebound.....

[Clipper Nation]

Chris Paul and his soul-sucking, Westbrook-esque play.

:lol Please don't compare a true alpha like Westbrook to that beta bitch CP0.

[D-Wade]

There's the Gerald Green we know

[Bill_Brasky]

I hate how they suck off the Warriors as if this isn't what they're supposed to do.

[RD2191]

Down 10, might as well be 20. Thanks for nothing rockets, worthless bums.

[DAF86]

You gotta grab the rebounds when you make them miss.

[Bynumite]

Series defining quarter coming up. If state has one of their monster 3rd quarters, series is over.

[Capt Bringdown]

Down 10, might as well be 20. Thanks for nothing rockets, worthless bums.

Paul trying to outscore Curry and getting mind-fucked by Draymond Green turned the game around. I couldn't be more unimpressed by CP3.

[LkrFan]

I don't recall any team ever coming back from being 10+ down since Durant joined the Warriors.

If Durbeta chokes this game away like he's trying to do, it's another permanent stain on his legacy.

First good game all conference finals

Warriors choking this so hard :lol

[RD2191]

Bullshit

[Bynumite]

The fuck is Durant doing? Not even hitting the rim on his last shots. SMH.

[hitmanyr2k]

Houston has no shotblocker in the game and these guys are too stupid to take it to the rim :lol

Edit: Someone on the Warriors has a brain after all.

[DAF86]

Solid flop by Gordon :lol

Why is houston allowed to be so physical? 23 free throws to the dubs 9

[Killakobe81]

Rox still got the ball and a lead with about 3 mins left ..
they have the MVP and Da Point Gawd
they should win ...

Don't you feel dirty pulling for those guys? Yuck!

The league is frantically trying to manufacture the illusion of parity, tbh.

[Capt Bringdown]

Got a feeling the dubs win this

It would be shocking if they didn't, and if Houston can pull off this massive road win I think they've got the series.

A mighty big if.

Warriors are just a few 3 balls from killing the Rockets.

[Caltex2]

Rox still got the ball and a lead with about 3 mins left ..

I see what you did there.

[RD2191]

Wtf harden :lol

:lmao cucky

[RD2191]

Harden choking

[hitmanyr2k]

Warriors deserve to lose this game. I can't believe how stupid they're playing. The tallest guy on the floor for Houston is 6'7 and these MFs are chucking the worst shots.

[TheRemix]

Dubs look shook. Houston playing so aggressive and the dubs cant find their offense

[monosylab1k]

Harden choking so hard :lol

Harden with a terrible 2nd half, CP3 needs to save it

[RD2191]

Just horrible shots by both teams. You can tell neither of these teams can mentally handle adversity.

[TheRemix]

No reason to chuck shit up like that. Fucking low iq from both teams

[Bill_Brasky]

I mean, why chuck 3s? If you get 2 it goes so far towards icing it. What a dumb way to play.

[140]

Chokets trying so hard to lose this :lol

[resistanze]

Dribble Dribble

[monosylab1k]

We all know how this ends. Dubs hit a 3, Rockets choke, Dubs score again.

It's easy/lazy basketball tbh. Chucking 3s doesn't take much effort.

[140]

Finally they go to the rim :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

Yep. Rockets had the Warriors down and out, but somehow managed to blow it.

Best team in the league out choking a team with D'Antoni, Harden and Paul :lmao

[Bill_Brasky]

GTFO refs. Game over.

[RD2191]

Nice rack

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao Absolutely embarrassing for the Warriors. They should be sweeping every series they play in with how badly they've stacked the deck. Getting taken to at least 6 by these chokers is pathetic.

[hitmanyr2k]

They deserved to lose just like that. That was without a doubt the lowest IQ 4th qtr I've seen in a long time from both teams but especially from Golden State.

[AlexJones]

Useless. Absolutely useless.

Ha ha...nothing can happen in .05...RIGHT?

[daslicer]

Chris was very stupid. He should have missed the last free throw.

[monosylab1k]

LOOOL choking is like crack for the Rockets, they can’t help themselves. Even in a win they’re gonna choke to the bitter end.

All he had to do was hit both FTs, ffs

[Spurs da champs]

Warriors out choked the Rockets, lmao.

The GD Rockets almost legit choked it away. How the Hell does Steph get so wide open on the last shot?

[AlexJones]

ROCKETS IN FUCKING SEVEN

[DAF86]

:lol Damn, you're shameless. It's not LOL Rockets, it's LOL CP0.

That's a decision that is made among everybody. You could see on TV Paul discussing it with Harden and the rest. D'antoni should have called the shot.

[djohn2oo8]

The GD Rockets almost legit choked it away. How the Hell does Steph get so wide open on the last shot?

Who cares. Win game 5.

[Arcadian]

What a bizarre game. Both teams alternated dominating every quarter, resulting in an overall close game.

Exactly.
Of course it is physically impossible to catch, turn and shoot in .5 seconds, but hey, this is the NBA.

Not saying trash, but he is Phil Jackson 2.0..Won mostly with overwhelming and superior talent..

[Clipper Nation]

That's a decision that is made among everybody. You could see on TV Paul discussing it with Harden and the rest. D'antoni should have called the shot.

:lol As if CP0 ever actually listens to the coach. He's a control freak. It was his decision. He's just lucky Curry out-choked him.

Watch the haters spin this one...:rolleyes

KD and Steph choked plain and simple ...
no excuses ...sure iggy was out but he always nicked up ...

btw lol that either of those teams could beat MJ Bulls, Shaqobe or Showtime Lakers.
Horribly shitty execution down the stretch on BOTH sides ...
either play like that vs Lebron thats a loss ...

[Thebesteva]

Damn warriors are such vaginas when the temperature increases

[Budkin]

Goddamn I'm so glad the Warriors out choked the Rockets.

[DAF86]

:lol As if CP0 ever actually listens to the coach. He's a control freak. It was his decision. He's just lucky Curry out-choked him.

Did you see all those statpadding plays he did tonight? :wow What a shameless POS, tbh.

[spursistan]

For someone as decorated as Curry, it is still weird that we are kinda still waiting on this dude to have a signature playoffs series.

[InRareForm]

Warriors lost and Draymond got dunked on and then also misses a dunk. Great night

[Caltex2]

We all know how this ends. Dubs hit a 3, Rockets choke, Dubs score again.

That's how it should have ended. Not only did the Warriors get a shot but it was a wide open 3 by Steph. Paul almost choked by doing something positive, making a free throw. Miss it and State has no chance.

[Capt Bringdown]

Durant put up Kobe numbers, 9 for 24.

[Killakobe81]

Damn warriors are such vaginas when the temperature increases

yep ...
lets be jonest exvept for that clutch 3 by KD last Finals ...they have been dumb late in games ...

That was an amazing defensive effort by Houston. For all the crap D’Antoni gets, that was a great defensive adjustment by the Rockets in the 4th quarter.

[baseline bum]

That's how it should have ended. Not only did the Warriors get a shot but it was a wide open 3 by Steph. Paul almost choked by doing something positive, making a free throw. Miss it and State has no chance.

Huh? Miss it, GSW rebounds, and calls timeout with 0.2 seconds left and advances the ball. Then they just need a lob to the basket and a tip-in to force OT. Paul did the right thing hitting that second free throw.

[Double-Up]

What the hell happened to Joe Johnson? :lol

Cashing his social security check...

[Caltex2]

The Warriors are gonna regret letting the Rockets hang around and they just lost another star. They should be up by 20.

I said it, I said it. They actually blew a double digit lead twice.

[Killakobe81]

Nice of you to remind us of your failed jinx attempt, tbh.

He had no one to bail him out like he usually does with Klay and Curry choking today.

Don't look now but the Rockets won at Oracle while shooting 39% from the field.

[Caltex2]

Kerr is such a trash coach carried by the most stacked team in the league.

Did you see what the Warriors were like before he got there? He's a great coach. He just made some mistakes. I thought he coached well tonight.

[MultiTroll]

He had no one to bail him out like he usually does with Klay and Curry choking today.
Final possession (well before the 0.5 CurryChuck) you could tell Durbeta did not want to take that shot. Absolutely not.

[DAF86]

Kerr is such a trash coach carried by the most stacked team in the league.

If it wasn't for Kerr, Curry and Thampson would still be taking turns running pick and rolls with David Lee.

[Killakobe81]

Nice of you to remind us of your failed jinx attempt, tbh.

was no jinx ...
I admit im rooting for State, but i dont hate Rox now that McHale is gone Ariza and Harden i have followed since HS.
as long as Boston dont win im cool but i also dont dantoni or morey either so ...i root for State.

[Killakobe81]

Final possession (well before the 0.5 CurryChuck) you could tell Durbeta did not want to take that shot. Absolutely not.

it was dumb he had tucker backpedalling ...

What do you mean no? Only 0.3 seconds has to tick off the clock when the team rebounds the miss. If they bobble it game over, but if not they're getting that timeout with 0.2 seconds left on the clock.

[MultiTroll]

How about that no-call on the blatant moving screen by Klaynus on that last shot by Curry too. :lol
pathetic. Would have died if the lil phaggots shot went in.

[FkLA]

What do you mean no? Only 0.3 seconds has to tick off the clock when the team rebounds the miss. If they bobble it game over, but if not they're getting that timeout with 0.2 seconds left on the clock.

I'm pretty sure a lob hoping for a tip-in is a much lower percentage play than a catch and shoot heave. There's also the chance that it isn't a heave and the opponent gets a clean look, which is exactly what happened.

[Caltex2]

Dubs could've won it if they just took it to the rim but they wanted to go for the 3. Durant should've just posted them up

Why wouldn't they go for 3, did you see the way Curry was stroking, just make sure it was a good shot.

[DAF86]

Have you ever seen anyone ever pull that off...ever?

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao CP0's media support is just unreal. He did everything he could to choke this game away, and this is the media's narrative:

999143002286280710

I swear, this guy is the most coddled, protected star the NBA has ever seen.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Did you see CP0 do everything in his power to choke the game away at the end? :wow

Harden and CP took turns to choke during the game. They were outchoked by KD and Curry in this game

[baseline bum]

Have you ever seen anyone ever pull that off...ever?

I was thinking Dwight Howard's gamewinner on Duncan, though he caught and dunked it since there was 0.8 left. You lob that ball up to Durant or to McGee and if the tip goes in it's automatic OT. In the days of instant replay you're running a huge risk of your shot being called off if you're trying to catch and shoot a three with 0.5 seconds left.

[DAF86]

Wait, just saw what originally looked like the final play of the game again. Where's the suppossed foul on Paul?

[Chris Fall]

Not just a lob attempt, but the chance of a foul being called on the lob attempt and Golden State getting the homecourt call for two free throws. How about a fluke foul getting called on the rebound off the missed free throw and no time running off?

People may differ, but I would have made the second free throw too. Fluke shit happens sometimes. Derek Fisher. So I’d rather be up three than two. The previous play looked like .2 seconds and the referees gave them .5 so who’s to say they don’t get another generous fraction of a second on a timeout after rebound?

Either decision makes it unlikely for Golden State to win. But both decisions still leaves a possibility, whether how unlikely. I’d rather be up three than two.

[Caltex2]

Wait, just saw what originally looked like the final play of the game again. Where's the suppossed foul on Paul?

Harden was tackled.

[DAF86]

Harden was tackled.

And why was Paul shooting the free throws?

In the days of instant replay you're running a huge risk of your shot being called off if you're trying to catch and shoot a three with 0.5 seconds left.

It's far more likely to be deflected by the other team. No one would guard the 3-point line and the defense would presumably have its tallest players in.

[baseline bum]

It's far more likely to be deflected by the other team. No one would guard the 3-point line and the defense would presumably have its tallest players in.

And what are the odds of catching and shooting, hitting the shot, and beating the instant replay on the three? This wouldn't be the Derek Fisher shot where the refs just have to call it on the floor.

Not just a lob attempt, but the chance of a foul being called on the lob attempt and Golden State getting the homecourt call for two free throws. How about a fluke foul getting called on the rebound off the missed free throw and no time running off?

People may differ, but I would have made the second free throw too. Fluke shit happens sometimes. Derek Fisher. So I’d rather be up three than two. The previous play looked like .2 seconds and the referees gave them .5 so who’s to say they don’t get another generous fraction of a second on a timeout after rebound?

Either decision makes it unlikely for Golden State to win. But both decisions still leaves a possibility, whether how unlikely. I’d rather be up three than two.

I agree I'd rather be up three and force a miracle catch and shoot three vs a tip in, but the rules wouldn't allow any less than 0.3 seconds to be ticked off the clock on that hypothetical rebound.

And why was Paul shooting the free throws?

You probably tuned out after Klay missed his shot...there was a foul on Paul. He made only the second of two. State called a time out and because Klay held Harden, Curry got a clean look.

[Caltex2]

And what are the odds of catching and shooting, hitting the shot, and beating the instant replay on the three? This wouldn't be the Derek Fisher shot where the refs just have to call it on the floor.

If GS had to rebound the free throw, they'd be lucky to have .2 left assuming they got a clean rebound.

Put a bet on the Warriors son. Easy money.
I have a bet on the Rockets to make it to game 7. If they do, I win. I wouldn't bet game 7 though

I'm talking about the Klay missed shot. The game didn't end there because suppossedly there was a foul on Paul, but I didn't see it.

I doubt it, a clean rebound and the refs are taking the 0.3 seconds off the clock that the league requires since you can't go to instant replay to hear/see when the timeout is called. You can call timeout in the air as long as all of your body is above area that is inbounds.

For Game 6, yea.

If Rockets can win game 5 vs the Warriorettes, this series will become interesting. Good win by the Rockets tonight though.

It looks to me like the Warriors quit in the middle of the 4th quarter in this game. Durant was chucking everything he could even under double and triple coverage. I almost feel like this was thrown for Vegas purposes.

[KimmyGib]

Both teams were out of control in the final minutes. Gerald Green shot selection made Durant look good.

Cashing his social security check...

:lol

Good win son :tu

I believe Tony was heading out of town and dropped his hamburger and it rolled back there.

:lmao CP0's media support is just unreal. He did everything he could to choke this game away, and this is the media's narrative:

No doubt. if you take away Steph's and 1 layup, and the two threes CP3 created for Gordon and Ariza that was one of the most atrocious displays of execution, I have seen down the stretch of an important playoff game. Even when the Nets played Spurs in the finals... shots were missed, but at least those teams ran some good stuff they just lacked elite shooting/scoring which both of these teams have. Plus those teams were playing great defense. Rox was applying great pressure, but that was more about state not countering the pressure and on other end Rox was getting the switch on steph and Harden still forced up soem fade away 3's.

IF State loses this series, this game was the one that decided it. Rox weren't playing well late and they STILL beat state at Oracle. KD, steph and Kerr all played a hand in their own demise. Kerr should have came back with Livingston (with no Iggy) when Rox went small. KD cant defer on a game tying/winning possesion with the ball in his hand floor spread and his defender backpedalling, curry after that hot third took a couple of atrocious hero shots, got blocked twice on open layups and twice from side/behind on jumpers. CAN NOT happen whith your two best players who are former MVP's.

And media/sportstalk should call them out for it today too ...
