Bigtime performance by the Rockets, I prefer to give them credit rather than ripping the Warriors for choking in the 4th quarter. How many teams survive a Curry barrage at Oracle, fall down 12 in the 4th and win? Probably 1 in 100. CP3 was great in the 4th quarter with his leadership and playmaking. Putting the ball in his and not Harden’s hands late in the game is a huge difference for the Rockets this season. As a Warriors fan I fear that 4th quarter might have very well cost us another championship. A 7 game series is likely which the NBA needs because the Finals are going to be a joke.

The third quarter by the Warriors was unbelievable.  It was an onslaught and the Rockets overcame it!  In The Warriors house no less!

This game was all over the place.  At the end with the foul and I thought the game was over then there were freethrows?  I thought that Holy shit, GS is going to pull a rabbit and get the W!?!?!?!

Thank God that didn't happen...

Good game.  Lots of horrible shots later on.  I never understand pulling up for a damn 3 when you can get the easy 2.  Mark Jackson talked about that and I'm glad he did because it seemed that the teams started to listen.

I thought the Rockets were done for sure after that 3rd quarter.  Really impressive to see them come back like that...especially on the road.

Can't believe KD didn't take the last shot.  That was some bad basketball on those last few possessions by both teams.

I've watched the same thing from the Cavs.  It's like everyone wants the Dagger in the heart basket and not the easy one.

Watching Harden just constantly dribble around the top of the key and then shoot a 3 with 2 seconds left on the shot clock is awful.  I'm not sure if the Rockets even have an offensive system of any type.  Just a lot of standing around while someone goes 1 on 1.

Very different though this last game.

And that's what i meant, when i posted last night that the game was hard to watch. Too much dribbling with BAD shot selections because of it. Harden drives me nuts. I think if i was in the gym he would give me a  headache with the amount of dribbles he has for the game. BOUNCE> BOUNCE<>BOUNCE>a 100 times in one posession!!! I saw a stat that he had over 500 dribbles, after Game 1 i think, and KD, Curry & Thompson had about the same amount of dribbles combined for that same game. RIDICULOUS, really. I know Harden is good, but i really don't like his game. How does he get away with some of the shit he does and gets to the foul line, more then players like LeBron, Embiid & Anthony Davis? (Don't really know if he does, but it seems like he does>LOL)

  Never really cared for Chris Paul either, though i do like his game. He tries to  hard to go out of his way to be a wanna-be tough-guy. I like to see him just go out ther and play his game.

 HOPE for  a good   close, and well played game tonight.

Agree completely on the Harden and Paul opinions. They are both great players, but can't stand the way Harden plays and can't stand the way C.Paul acts, and he is also a dirty player too. I laugh when people call players like Dellavedova dirty for diving for the ball and playing HARD, but ignore the nut shots that Chris Paul takes at players.

I really hope it's not a Cavs vs Rockets finals, as that will be some painful basketball to watch. 3 players taking turns at bouncing a ball for 20 seconds, whilst the others stand in spots for hopeful passes

Yes, Chris Paul is a dirty player. He reminds me of Isiah Thomas as he was a dirty player too. He was a tough guy because he had lunatics like Laimber, Mahorn & Rodman, and the rest to protect his ass.

I hate the Celtics so i do not want them in the Finals. Plus, i don't mind watching the best player in the World playing in the Finals.

That's spot on with Isiah, he's an arrogant little tosser too. He will never admit anything being good about Jordan, he's still salty about his success.
I've never been a Celtics fan, but I dislike Cavs more, so I'm hoping for Celtics vs Warriors.
Don't really care who wins though as I don't have a horse in the race

The surprising Celtics continue on and hopefully they can get to The Finals. If they do their future looks bright for the years to come. However, the league's power structure changes from year to year so staying on top in the the east may become more difficult to remain dominate.

That said GO CELTICS!

Peace

Wobbie

come on, warriors!

I have the bad feeling you’re gonna lose. 

tempo_n_groove

Wow.
That was some game.

Rockets up 3-2...  NEVER did I think that this was going to happen.  I put a fork in them after game 1.

Would the real Golden State Warriors please stand up?

Poncier

Probably getting 2 game 7's.
Commissioner Smeagol will be pleased.

Don't you want to see the superstar team failed??..
Rockets-Celtics please!!..

Chris Paul out for game 6

For me, it's not so much about wanting to see them fail as it is wanting to see someone - ANYONE ELSE - succeed.  Lebron in the FInals every year got stale about 5 years ago.  Cavs/Warriors for a 4th year in a row I won't even watch.  It's worn out its welcome.
