2nd Round Matchup: Houston vs Golden State

[ulosturedge]

They couldn't find a better defensive strategy with Durant out? Just play some fuckin' D and you win. You knew if the Warriors could keep the game close they would win. Nothing shocking here. Houston playing their part as expected. What a sad team.

[ducks]

Rockets steal in balance pass drain a three rockets

[hitmanyr2k]

Harden about to be at the club.

[Dirks_Finale]

A D'antoni team cant buy a stop late in a critical playoff game. Some things never change

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I'm disappointed even those I don't care about this game much. Rockets just beat themselves - probably are PROs at beating themselves

I expected much more from this series - but it started like shit right from game #1 when they just complained not getting fake calls

For a rockets fan this is like watching ATL for the last 20 years

[Capt Bringdown]

Crazy how thing always work out for GS. Cousins going out was a net gain, because Iggy was off-the-charts phenomenal in this series.

Iggy is the MVP for this series.

[dbreiden83080]

How are Rocket fans just not booing the fucking team?

Pretty easy-going forgiving Fanbase I guess. I mean they have great regular season’s and they do have a star player that certainly puts up numbers. But no they are never winning another championship as things stand.

[DC23]

Time to move on from Mike D'Antonio

[Thanos]

Imagine letting Kevon Looney kill you in an elimination game :lmao

[AlexJones]

The Warriors would have lost this game if Kevin Durant had played.

They are simply better without him against THIS team.

[RD2191]

Man, I fucking hate the rockets and even I feel bad for them :lol

[ducks]

Since taking their seven-point lead, the Rockets have made 4 of 12 shots. Just two have been from deep and one of those an open Tucker corner 3.

[Capt Bringdown]

Can anyone beat GS?

25 percent from deep is not great

He hit all those free throws late to stat pad

[timvp]

Second best thing to watching the Spurs win is watching the Rockets lose.

Curry >>>> Durant ... still.

[hitmanyr2k]

Turning point to me was the chance to go up 9 when they had a 3 on 1 fast break. Instead they blow it looking for a 3, turns into an Iggy 3 on other end and lead cut to 4.

They had a ton of momentum leading up to that sequence.

Yep, but Houston is just conditioned to chuck a three or bust. That's what they live and ultimately die on.

None of this matters because Milwaukee will crush to the chip, but it just goes to show you that Durant will ALWAYS be a beta male and they don't really need him.

The horrible defensive strategy against Klay in the final 5 minutes of the 2nd probably lost them the game IMO..

[Reck]

I'm dying watching Harden give a title away :lmao

Rockettes were never going to beat the Warriors anyways. Their best case scenario was a game 7 and get demolished in it.

[daslicer]

This Rocket team has now the same legacy as the '90's Knicks,Jazz,Pacers, and '00 Suns. All 4 teams are teams that could never ever get over the hump mentally. Rox just didn't have the mentality to be champions.

I agree. Leonard is a Warrior killer. GS great but they don't look like they are peaking. Rockets just being Rockets in this case. Helping make other teams look better then they should.

[GusT15]

Raptors
Green lock down Thompson
Leonard Lock down Durant

You can't lock down a catch&shoot guard,Danny can't do shit against Klay.

Leonard after his usg% went up sky high both in '17 Spurs and this years Raptors NEVER guards the best player,he'll probably be on Raymond.

Raptors will get swept from GSW.

There is only one team that can challenge them and it sure as hell isn't Toronto.

Raptors

Raptors are Leonard and a bunch of dummies. Not impressed.

Maybe Denver might be interesting. At least they roll to the rim occasionally, and they've played at a more or less consistent level throughout the playoffs.

Similar to Houston, Portland is almost purpose-built for getting beat by GS. You cannot out-jump shoot GS.

They're not twelve year-olds so it's hard to see Malone in either of them.

Denver matches up well with Joker and Milsap. Plus they attack the basket and move the ball unlike Houston which Iso's Harden to death.

That game becomes more hilarious as time passes as it becomes increasingly clear how much more talented that Rockets team was ....

Without Durant they are more likeable
Do not like Kerr and curry

Nah she was 12 and had the baby at 13 IIRC

Real talk: Morey is stupid for not taking the Philly job when they offered it to him.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

I knew Houston would lose bc thats what Chris Paul and James Harden do in big games. They lose. Legacies on the line and they lose. And Houston still has to pay Chris Paul 40 million for the next 3 years. Talk about a dumpster fire of an organization. All this talk about how the Spurs are screwed bc of Demar but nobody mentions Houston being screwed bc of Choke Paul. I rather be in the Spurs shoes going forward tbh

Never forget

"The Golden State Warriors suspended Draymond Green (http://www.slamonline.com/tag/draymond-green) for tonight’s home game against the Atlanta Hawks after he reportedly called fellow All-Star teammate Kevin Durant (http://www.slamonline.com/tag/kevin-durant) a “bitch” during a heated verbal exchange Monday night in Los Angeles."

"Green called Durant a “bitch” multiple times, sources said. In a summarized version, sources said Green shouted, “You’re a bitch and you know you’re a bitch.” The rhetoric, sources said, continued even when Kerr attempted to direct the team’s attention to his whiteboard.But what ultimately led to Green’s suspension, sources said, was a remark in which he dared Durant to bolt in free agency next summer. Durant has a player option for the 2019-20 season, and the Warriors want their superteam intact for the opening of their new arena, the Chase Center, in San Francisco next season.
Green blurted to Durant something along the lines of, “We don’t need you. We won without you. Leave,” sources said."

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Nah she was 12 and had the baby at 13 IIRC
Hard to say what's worse. Him raping a 12 year old. Him impregnating said 12 year old. Or him not even helping his kid out financially or being in his son's life at all to the point where the son doesn't even consider him his father.

[GusT15]

And Kerr just said coaching Curry is like how it was for Pop to coach Manu.

:rollin

[Capt Bringdown]

I guess we all become coach Bud and Bucks fans now

I've begun to appreciate Denver. Jokic is a beast, and the way share the ball is fun to watch.

I don't think Giannis plays smart enough to beat GS.

[testies]

I hope Giannis and Bud can get a ring for that shithole of a town

only problem is his supporting cast is fucking Bledsoe and Brook Lopez. I kinda like Middleton but thats it

Hmm, yeah you're probably right.

They're just going to run it back again. CP3 will morph into Dallas Jason Kidd. No way they run some gimmick movement bullshit to take the ball out of Harden's hands--double down on him and ISOball, hope he pulls through one time like Dirk in 2011. It's the optimal strategy against Golden State despite what national media idiots have to say about it.

[AlexJones]

And guess what- Houston was the only team to challenge GSW last year. They were the only team to challenge them this year. They will STILL be the only threat to them NEXT YEAR.

Houston won the same number of games against them as the Clippers did. The only difference is that Durant stayed healthy for all of our series. We also didn't have a so-called "superstar" and "MVP" on our roster. "Only team to challenge them," my ass.

That's nuts. Golden State deliberately injured Leonard, which directly led to him leaving.

Leonard is a once-in-a-lifetime superstar. Spurs are extraordinarily lucky to have a few play for them. We may never again.
Leonard's injury will likely echo through the ages for Spurs fans. That echo was deafening this year, as we were bounced in the 1st round.

Leonard is a once-in-a-lifetime superstar. Spurs are extraordinarily lucky to have a few play for them. We may never again.
Leonard's injury will likely echo through the ages for Spurs fans. That echo was deafening this year, as we were bounced in the 1st round.

Spurs fans want to see GS dead.

Like Timvp said that injury was minor. Uncle Dennis and #2 took out the Spurs and not the Warriors. Think about it if #2 was willing to play out his contract with the Spurs then the Spurs would have had 2 shots to take out the Warriors in the final 2 years of his contract. Don't get me wrong what the Warriors did with Zaza was dirty but if #2 wasn't a douchebag the Spurs would have gotten revenge on them.

To think these two choke artists took as many games as the Clippers role players did even though KD missed the last two of the series :lmao..

ClipperNation get in here and rub this shit in..

[Clipper Nation]

The Clippers had to deal with a fully healthy Durant who was putting up new playoff career highs damn near every game, a fully healthy Curry, and the Warriors even had Cousins at first. We had no all-stars and none of the ref help that Frauden and CP0 get every game. Under those circumstances, winning two games at Oracle is more impressive than anything Houston has ever done in the Frauden era.

[Jonnyblue19]

There was no way Houston would ever win with they way they are constructed. It is basically Harden and 4 spot up shooters, and no matter what Harden will dance around for at least 10 to 14 seconds almost 90% of the time and he will either do is step back 3 or attack the basket with a few seconds left on the clock.

The times that Paul was attacking the basket he was either scoring or lobbing to Capela. The clippers were picking and rolling the Warriors to death and these idiots with 100 times better personal wouldn't do it. And considering Durant got hurt the Warriors lost another 7 footer they had absolutely no interior defense, they should have kept going to the basket.

There was a 3 on 1 fast break and Tucker stopped at the 3 point line didn't shoot and they missed a 10 footer and then the Warriors came back and made a 3 point a 5 point switch right there.


If Durant is out for the rest of the playoffs and the Bucks advance the Greek freak will average 35 against the Warriors interior defense. They are too small to stay with him and if they double him they have enough 3 point shooters to make them pay. And they have actual ball movement.

As much as I wanted the Warriors to fail it was great seeing Houston fail again because they don't play basketball at all.

[Clipper Nation]

This didn't age well:

"A lot of people see the wins and losses, but it's the culture of our team," Paul said of the Clippers in the clip. "If you aren't trying to contend with the Warriors, then what are you doing? You know what I mean? … If you aren't trying to contend with them, then what are you doing?"

Honestly not a good comparison. Without a 30 point comeback and Lou going Jordan that game it's an easy sweep. It was a very fluke series for the Clips.

You can just as easily point to "flukes" that went in Houston's favor. KD getting hurt, Austin Rivers actually playing above a G-League level for a couple games, PJ Tucker shooting 48% from three (his career average is 36%), etc. Between KD's calf and Curry's nagging finger/ankle injuries, the Rockets never had to face the Warriors at full strength and they still choked in embarrassing fashion. No excuses for last night's loss when KD didn't play and Curry was scoreless at halftime.

[Spurtacular]

Har_en > Kobe? That's hot :wow

Replace him with Kobe in the years the Lakers won and same results, tbh.

People know Kobe's efficiency went down and was frankly dreadful in crunch time.

You want to slobber on Kobe's nuts some more?

you sound stupid af. This pussy couldn’t take over in game 5 or 6 when they needed him the most. Don’t be such a moron

Yup, he wasn't the alpha dog to get the ring. Then again, Kobe wasn't either. He folded in the Suns series when given that chance.

[MultiTroll]

Capela get royally burned on this?

97-97 4 minutes left.
Rocket drives in from arc, pulls up for midrange, fakes shot and passes it to Capella right under the hoop.
Donkey Breath is out of position about 8 feet away. So he does the logical thing and intentionally fouls Capella. Lunges at Cap then hacks his arm. In doing so ball goes off Capella and out of bounds. Foul on Donkey, right?

Nope.
No whistle. ABC Warriors tv color suck up guy What a great block by Gaymond slurp slurp.
No replay.

2008-10 Kobe would have physically pulled injured Durant off the court then proceeded to drive to the paint the rest of the game

Harden is 29 yrs old. Lebron wasn't much different at that age. Just how this new generation is.

I noticed the no-replay as well. Draymond's supposed greatness is based on no-calls.

Har_en was up 7 at home. No KD. Still lost. PATHETIC.

Kobe closed series at age 21. Shaq and Kobe show for the first 45 minutes. Last 3? Kobetime.

Har_en proved last night why he never made it to the Finals. Good li'l regular season player tho. :tu

He really can't handle crunch time in the post season. He freaks the fuck out every single time. Almost like a panic attack with some of the shit he does, very similar to Chris Paul in his Clipper days (except of course when he had to be super clutch against the Spurs in that first round) :madrun:lol

[AlexJones]

Laker fans feeling threatened by a guy with no rings? Goes to show you how big of a fraud Kobe was. Duncan fans wouldn't have to defend TD's Legacy against Karl Malone

True.

[ambchang]

Durant, harden, curry have all surpassed Kobe if we are being objective. They did say more with their teams as alphas than Kobe every did with his.

Curry just bricked another layup
