C'mon man. He was pumped after that run he had. It's so stupid to tell him not to be excited after that.

I just rewatched what made that poster so upset.

Holy shite, imagine being that miserable while watching sports.

Now dubs need to finish off this pelican trash and we got an awesome series coming up


Meh, it will take a small miracle to see a 6th game with GS imo.

No, the Cavs have NEVER done what you saw in the final 5 minutes of a tight game like you saw tonight. Not even close.


Kyrie took the biggest shot in Game 7 of the NBA finals. It's ok for other people to take shots.

So if Harden took shots, and missed tonight, that would have been better than Paul taking them and missing?

It's just such a stupid argument against Harden. I'm not saying he hasn't done it in the past, but to criticize him tonight when Paul was as incredible as he was is just so dumb IMO.

I can’t stand the Rockets but I am really happy for CP3. He’s an all time great point guard and deserves this.

I cannot decide if I want the Pellies to get this miracle dub or just get on with the main event

I for one knew he was holding back for exactly moments like this.

This also might be the healthiest he's ever been in the playoffs if I'm not mistaken.

Either way, really feels awesome to see him perform at this level.

I mean Harden was objectively bad tonight. Ariza is probably the only Houston player who was worse.

I'll never understand it.

LeBron has one series (Mavs 2011), but Harden sprinkles his throughout many a playoff game.


I mean, he's just not as good a player as Lebron so it's an unfair comparison. I've criticized Harden in the past for looking like he's trying too hard to draw fouls in the playoffs, and it just doesn't work as well when you're allowed to play a little bit more physically.

Congrats Chris On making it to WCF you made the right choice by choosing CC. I also have to congratulate Utah on making it to rd 2. Not many thought they would make the playoffs this year. But they advanced past okc and made it to rd 2. They have a young stud in Mitchell and a great great coaching staff and FO lead by Dennis. They will be in the mix for top 4 seed next year. Good season

Main event, the earliest game will be Friday but I am not even sure it will be then. Could be Saturday and Sunday for the game 1s

The entire Houston team is pretty likable. CP3 and Capela are probably my two favorites, but damnit Harden makes it tough.

I'm not saying he was good. He wasn't. I just think it's dumb to criticize him for not taking shots in the 4th when someone was clearly playing better.

I don't know why i have to repeat as it was super obvious, but the Cavs/Lebron have never done what you saw HOU do in the final 5 minutes of that game tonight.

C'mon man

Bulldogs must be the Gay club in Atlanta because Shaq always mentions it
