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.


Gotcha, yeah, he really has no business taking shots given his performance for 3 quarters.

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


Mhab should be playing more. We got a pretty good taste of the tucker at center line up tonight, ironically without harden, i am curious to how much we see that next round.

Capella is playing so well it will be hard to keep him off but they are going switch on to him all night

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


That's fair. There's also a much larger talent gap between Kyrie and Lebron than CP3 and Harden. CP3 is one of the best 5-10 PGs of all time and he was on fire. I probably shouldn't have picked at your argument, I just would have done the same thing if I were the Rockets.

That still falls well short of all the haymakers that just happened.

Chuck just said GSW/Rox series wouldn't last five games

Why couldn't you say gentlemen sweep Chuck?!?!?!?

Yeah but Draymond doesn't have near the shot blocking ability of Gobert. I guess that's not worth mentioning.

All of sudden the potential defensive player of year is a bum.

I got plenty of concerns about the next round.

Well can I say that Steph let Klay Thompson step up in Game 6 against OKC in 2016?

Is that a better comparison?

I'm really just trying to say that CP3 is a good enough player that it's ok, and even makes sense for him to take the ball in crunch time sometimes.

Rubio would have made little difference. I can't watch this garbage anymore.

For guys that played basketball they sure have some real simple views on what's what.

Gobert was not good this series. Draymond will be much better defensively than Gobert was.

You're WAY better than this.

It's legitimately incredible how much teammates want to find or just give the ball back to Lebron. Kyrie took a big shot? So has Allen. So have countless people.

CP3 was NOTICEABLY keeping Harden out of their plays. He was very aggressive in NOT letting Harden touch the ball.

Gobert was pretty solid defensively all series. He was actually very good tonight. He had 5 blocks and Capela had 5 points. Rockets will get to the rim easier against Draymond than Gobert, just a fact.


Gobert is a 7-1 shot blocker. I noticed tonight Eric Gordon was super hesitant going to the rim and he passed up a lot of drives because of Gobert. Not going to be the case against GSW.
