Man Cp3 on one leg would probably be better than Ryan Anderson or Joe Johnson right now
Fuck you and your momma!! Bitch ass old fart !!
That is absolutely true bro
..But it would be so painful to watch
Right...he better take that easy W.
Exactly. Niggas on the brink of being an even bigger laughing stock than when they flopped with 73 wins.. They want no parts of a healthy CP3. Take the injury win like you usually do and be happy.Right...he better take that easy W.
Rockets don't have a chance without CP3
Nah, I don't wish injury on anyone or any team...Right...he better take that easy W.
The refs put the warriors back in control..No and bad calls can switch the momentum
Lauri >>>>>>>>>>>> the rockets future
Oh
I don't wish injury either but let's don't kid ourselves. Its the playoffs. You want as many advantages as you can have and you guys already have one of the best rosters ever assembled. Take Chris Paul out and its a alley oop. That mean Harden playing point most of the game. That's a W.
Part of me wants to see the Dubs win like this. KD could end up with like 5 rings like this and no would call him a top 5 player. Golden State has done more to kill "ring" arguments the last 2 years than anyone.

Went from all time invincible to praying Paul dont play in a week.
Bro you do know that was the same exact ref crew that called game 2 where the rockets blew the warriors out right?
Y’all got to get rid of that the refs put GS in control... The second had Harden reverted back to the ball stopping and only trying to make a play with 6 secs left on the clock and Gordon after going perfect on the FG in the first half was bricking shots and missing free throws
Went from all time invincible to praying Paul dont play in a week.
Paul has always been injury prone and it was only a matter of time before he got injured again and he gets injured at the most crucial times..
Don’t think it would have mattered tho

That’s not shitting the bed is the game is close like that bruh
Well yeah after both conference semi finals and the first 3 games of the conf finals the media heads and radio personalities were complaining about wanting close games and wanting game 7s.. the League oblige them too smh
Nah the Rockets put the Warriors back in the game. They built a 17 point lead, by halftime the Warriors had it when to 10. D'Antoni should have told them at halftime let's keep steady with ball movement, attack and get good shots, INSTEAD they came out and just started jacking up 3 pointers. When the Warriors were going on that 11-0 run, Ariza got a bumbled pass, had a clear lane to the basket, but instead he ran back behind the 3point line and jacked up a 3 pointers.

You do know Curry, Klay and Draymond attempted 0 free throws right?
I keep telling people that "Kyrie has the best handles in NBA" talk is BULLSHIT. Kyrie does all that dancing around, 4 and 5 moves and most times doesn't do shot with the basketball, Curry does like 3 moves and he's lost you out for you off balance and is going to the hold or pulling up for a 3
Does Isiah Thomas lose credit for the first ring he got? What about some of Magic rings he got? What about LBJ ring he got?? What about the Spurs rings they got?? You cant name one team that has won multiple rings that didnt face a team where injuries played apart in the outcome; or some type of luck didnt either; you sound very stupid at times ...Part of me wants to see the Dubs win like this. KD could end up with like 5 rings like this and no would call him a top 5 player.
The Rockets never consistently move the ball in this series; they arent even a team that is built or play like that; 17 points for any team in the 1st quarter is not difficult to come back from. And of course GS is even easier for them to do. Ariza and Gordon didnt miss in the 1st quarter; did you really think that was gonna last the whole game??
What about ALL they rings tho?
Year one= Every opposing starting PG and two starters from opposing team in finals
Year two= Kawhi cheap shotted after adding KD to 73 win team
Year three= CP3 done after putting you in a clown suit three times and taking you to brink of humiliation
Kevin Durant is seen more of a clown today than ever before. People are questioning is he even the 2nd best player anymore.
None of the big 4 made 1st team all NBA last year. Only KD made it this year. Steph was 3rd team.
No one entertains any Warriors for MVP awards anymore.
Golden State put rings back in their proper context, its a team award. Individually it doesnt enhance any Warriors to win on an all star team.
Seeing the Dubs struggle with this Rockets team designed to beat them, its clear they wont last long term against the superteams forming this offseason. And they cant get better, just older (especially that bench). They better win it this year, cuz this is their last chance.
2nd ring LBJ got spurs miss 4 free throws to win the series in game 6; does that count against LBJ?? im not going to even bring up the heroic shit Ray Allen did
1st ring Isiah got, the lakers starting backcourt was hurt and didnt play one game; does that count against Isiah?? and who ever brings it up??
1st ring MJ got, lakers whole team was hurt except Magic?? does that count against MJ and who brings it up??
What about how the refs cheated for the Lakers(shaq and kobe)??
What about Boston playing several hurt teams to get their rings??
What about Houston playing teams that were hurt??
What you just said is bullshit; unless you gonna make it a point to bring up every time some good luck occurred for all champions...And Ill bet a million bucks, you wont...
ok....Kevin Durant is seen more of a clown today than ever before. People are questioning is he even the 2nd best player anymore.

dude all this is kool, u made some great great references but missing the free throws shit is as useless as tits on a bull frog....
injuries can't be deny, ref cheating I'm on the fence if thats a reliable thing(but I'm ok if folks use that)
YES..the Rockets are a good 3 point shooting team so when they got hot early I THOUGHT it was gonna continue but they started jacking up nothing but 3’s. When the Warriors started that run they panicked and was not only jacking up 3’s but started really really turning the ball over. Once GS caught up and passed them they stopped jacking 3’s and started driving and trying to draw fouls instead of make the shot just like they did in Game 1, most of those drives by Harden and Gordon you could tell they weren’t even concentrating on hitting the shot, that’s how Harden kept getting his blocked or stripped
A Boston win Sunday will send Al Horford to his first Finals – and exorcise his Cleveland demons
BOSTON – In the spring of 2015, Al Horford believed he had a shot at his first NBA finals. Horford’s Atlanta Hawks finished the season with 60 wins, powered past Brooklyn and Washington, and entered the Eastern Conference finals with home-court advantage.
There, they faced the Cleveland Cavaliers. And the Hawks got swept. Horford’s stat line in the Game 4 clincher: Two points, two rebounds.
Six games into these conference finals, and familiarity has bred (some) contempt. Jayson Tatum has been manhandled by the Cavs’ perimeter players, leading to some frustrating moments. Jaylen Brown, a role player in Cleveland’s five-game beating of the Boston Celtics in last year’s playoffs, has battled with LeBron James, even needing to be separated from James after a battle for a rebound in Game 6 got a little too physical.
They are starting to dislike the Cavs. Horford? Horford has to hate them.
No Celtics player has as deep — or as ineffectual — a history with Cleveland as Horford. In 2016, Horford played in all 82 games. The Hawks won 48 of them, and marched into another matchup with the Cavs in the second round. Again, Atlanta was swept. In Game 4, Horford scored a respectable 15 points, but grabbed just four rebounds and missed four of his five 3-point attempts.
How about last season — Horford’s first in Boston. The Celtics charged into the conference finals with home-court advantage … and were eliminated by the Cavs in five games. Horford’s line in Game 5: Eight points, three rebounds.
These matchups with Cleveland haven’t been just bad for Horford — they have been nightmares. Dig deeper, and they get worse. Tristan Thompson, Horford’s longtime nemesis, has dominated his matchups with Horford. This series has been no different. Horford’s per-36 minutes with Thompson on the court: 9.1 points, 7.8 rebounds on 32 percent shooting. With Thompson off: 22.7 points, 9.7 rebounds on 62 percent shooting.
Game 6 represented a chance for Horford to exorcise his Cleveland demons, and he came up short. He went scoreless in the first half, and was part of the defense that allowed the Cavs to turn a five-point first-quarter deficit. This time, it wasn’t just Thompson, but multiple defenders Cleveland rushed at him.
“I was getting doubled as soon as I caught the ball,” Horford said. “So every time I didn’t really have one-on-one position. They did a really good job of doubling, making it hard.”
On the perimeter, too. Horford, a high-level outside shooter, is one of Boston’s most reliable options on pick-and-pops. In Game 6, the Cavs rushed him with different defenders to force him off his spots.
“They’re late switching — what we call veering — a lot of pick-and-rolls when [Horford] does set them with Thompson,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. “Thompson is tremendous defensively, but one of the things that makes him tremendous is his ability to switch. George Hill is into Al’s legs. And right on the catch or on the dribble, they are going, so they are doubling. If [Horford’s] touching the ball and making plays out of the double, then his number of field-goal attempts are going to be less.”
It’s been said before: Horford’s value to Boston goes beyond box scores. He’s a facilitator on offense, and the lynchpin of the Celtics’ top-ranked defense. Boston’s coaches cite Horford as a role model for Brown and Tatum, and his leadership has navigated the Celtics through one catastrophic injury after another.
“He’s been such a stabilizing force since he walked into our locker room,” Stevens said. “He provides a very calming influence to the younger players.”
Yet the Cavs are Horford’s Achilles’ heel, his kryptonite, the white whale he has chased for 11 years, with no success. The Celtics believe Thompson’s defense on Horford can be overrated, but there is little doubt that against Boston’s favored small lineup, Thompson’s physical play has an impact. And, as Thompson said earlier in the series, it’s a matchup he asked for.
Game 7 on Sunday means a lot of things to a lot of players. For LeBron James, it’s a chance to get to his eighth straight NBA finals — and extend what could be his last season in Cleveland a little longer. For Brown, Tatum and Terry Rozier, it’s a chance to shock the world.
For Horford, it’s different. At 31, Horford is coming off one of his most complete seasons, and the youth of the Celtics guarantees they will be back in this position next season. But he plays for a team that won’t hesitate to trade anyone, so for Horford, these opportunities can’t be wasted.
For years, the Cavaliers have stood in front of Al Horford. On Sunday, he may not get a better chance to climb over them.
