hello friends it's the 2018 NBA Playoffs, a place where dreams GO 2 DIE

god dammit chris make your fucking free throw

what r u allowed to do w .5

of course the dubs have a timeout....

CHRIS PAUL GETS THE GAME WINNING REBOUND SUCK IT HATERS

Warriors played their last possession like a bad college team.

can do anything as long as theres at least 0.3 left

Just end it, jeez

hehe jordan

wowwww

PHEW

wow what a great terrible game

damn that was a look

how did they get steph wide open there

kerr not calling a timeout on the second to last possession was malpractice

OTM and WTF

cp3 gotta miss that 2nd ft too lol cmon

that was super weird

both teams lost their minds in the last few mins there

no way have to make the second one

I can see the argument I guess, but they could def get a rebound in 0.2 secs and call timeout to get a look for the win. if you make the FT you take losing in regulation out of the equation

i think they prob would’ve had to go for a tip

yeah i dont think .5 is enough to do all that, but i guess sometimes the clock operators/refs allow weird shit in those situations

probably...but if they somehow called a timeout with 0.3 it would be a disaster

xp

i dont think theres much chance the dubs wldve had as good a chance to win as they got when he made the ft

realistically it takes at least .5 to secure a rebound in the actual world

Houston played 7 guys, and the 7th was Gerald Green (12 mins).

Man what a game. I was having game 7 ‘16 flashbacks the way the offense just stopped for some reason. Kd looked bad all night even the shots he made looked bad. This was a def #firekerr game for me. Once the play broke down and there was nothing there you gotta call a TO. Warriors basically played like they had the game won as soon as they got it to 82-70.

Warriors had about 8 chances to put the game away way earlier tho.

I don’t understand how the default play when everything is braking down is not the STEPH KD PNR. I mean wtf they were running Steph Looney pnrs!

das why they shd run it more during the season imho shd be second nature

yep, the rockets knew their gameplan and the warriors just .... expected to be able to do stuff

btw david griffin has been working on nbatv a bit and he's really good.

The Warriors went 3-18 from the field in the 4th quarter (16.7%), their worst shooting quarter this season. pic.twitter.com/DvUZVUDcwA

can't believe Fan would say that

Much as I hate their game, credit to the Rockets for stepping up big on D in the clutch. Though like Spottie said dubs were making some boneheaded decisions, especially late.
With Klay and Iggy hurt I don't think GSW have it in them to win two of the next three. We'll see though.

idk GSW only lost by 3 and I don't think they could possibly play a worse quarter than they did in the 4th. I'd still wager that the Dubs win it.

do we know how bad those dudes r hurt neither seemed super srs

def cld tilt the series thoooo

klay's jumper looked pretty ugly after he went down. Next game shd be a fun one.

this is prob reductive but i'm not sure durant is shooting 9-24 again this series in which case...

there are all sorts of scenarios that can happen in basketball games guys!

feel like kd was def taking it personal last night trying to be the hero, dubs really need to have steph playing point guard mostly, their offensive cohesion kinda got exposed as not being that great, they had a ton of games missed to injuries/rest this year, the hamptions5 didnt really play together as much as im sure they wldve liked, mostly they have enough talent to paper over that but last night it showed

not having iggy was obvs big too, and klay rolling his ankle, theyre thin

Harden is 26 for 86 from beyond the arc since the beginning of the Jazz series so my suggestion is he should get better at shooting threes.

KD had CP3 on an iso several times late and massively bricked jumpers

the rockets are so insanely better when harden is driving and kicking rather than taking step back threes

he needs to tune his game to the playoffs a lil more, expect all that perimeter dribbling to be guarded a little better and to get fewer calls when driving, conclusion go faster and kick more
