[Lawful Metal]

That was the most illegal moving screen I’ve ever seen

We already have Lawful Metal to break down referee conspiracies. Please do not help his paranoia.

Not a conspiracy.  Rockets have been fucked over from the second quarter on.

3rd quarter summary incoming.

Third Quarter Summary:
Almost every positive thing that could happen for the Warriors happen.

LOOK AT PAPA SHANGO TONY BROTHERS FORCING THESE CURRY SHOTS IN THAT THERE BUCKET FROM WHEREVER HE DAMN WELL PLEASES AND/OR PARTS UNKNOWN.

[Niners Fan in CT]

Rockets would have been up 20.  They didn't call back to back 3's where Harden was fouled and then they took back a 4 point play to start the 3rd.  That's 9 maybe 10 points right there.  Now the Rockets are down 7 and won't come back.  

It's not about the use of capital letters or conspiracies it's how the game actually played out.  

[Lawful Metal]

They stopped calling fouls in the paint. Again. And moving screens are again legal for GS. Real easy to hit open threes when you can drag defenders away from the shooter.

 

[Niners Fan in CT]

Don't worry these same posters probably didn't see anything wrong with Lakers and Kings game 6 either. I don't often agree with you but you are right tonight.   

[GuerrillaMonsoon]

Yep - should have been a 4 point play on the Thompson foul. No doubt.

Since then, Curry's shooting them from The Outer Reaches Of Your Mind and not missing. Rockets went 0/7 in that same time from far more manageable shots. Harden's dropped his head already.

[elizium]

Maybe stop shooting 3's when you're 0/25.

[_MJ_]

Also those Ryan Anderson minutes were bad.  Real bad.  Superbad.  If he's not hitting threes, I don't know why they put him out there.

Chris Paul is seething.

Houston has a lot of issues.  Their shot selection has been poor as well.  I'm just saying that if they would have gotten the calls they should have it'd be a tight game.  

[Dewar]

Rockets have missed 25 3 pointers in a row. I'm impressed.

[GuerrillaMonsoon]

Far easier to hold onto a 17 point lead than it is to have the ridiculous self-confidence necessary to throw up the sort of shots Curry never looked like missing when down by 17 in game 7 of a conference final. 

[Niners Fan in CT]

Also,  of course the loss of CP3 was something that they probably couldn't survive.  

[GuerrillaMonsoon]

How many playoff series is it now where that's happened to him? 4?

...and that's the Warriors best advantage this game.

It's likely the reason why I had to watch Ryan Anderson attempt to play defense on Steph Curry for multiple plays.

[Niners Fan in CT]

Warriors and Cavs Part 4. Only one of the previous 3 series was interesting.  This will be 5 games at best.  Yawn.  

[Lawful Metal]

I hate basketball 

[elizium]

Why did the Rockets just stand around and let Golden State bleed 48 seconds off the clock? I have no dog here, but the last couple minutes have been perplexing by Houston.

[Elsalvajeloco]

All the Rocket fans on Twitter wanna fight Trevor Ariza so bad. 

[Contentious C]

It's funny how there was just a big puff piece on ESPN about how important Trevor Ariza was, and then he barfs up an 0-12 night.

Rockets/Celtics would have been a way more interesting series, had either of them shot worth a tinker's damn in their respective Game 7.

[_MJ_]

As soon as Chris Paul's hamstring died, I knew this was inevitable.  I sighed.  I whined.  I dreaded it.  I even turned the game off after the first couple of minutes in the fourth to run from it.   I hate you, Thanos.

[GuerrillaMonsoon]

Ariza fouling out in game 1 was far more damaging than what he put up tonight.

Somewhere John Starks is the happiest non Golden State fan in the world right now
