At least they get to live in Cleveland

This is why Dwayne Casey was fired...

The other thing the Warriors did so well against Harden (and often have in the past as well), is give him those desperation drives that usually result in a foul call.

Lots has been written about how Houston will attack Curry with switches onto Harden but noone has mentioned how Harden would do on defense. The times when Harden “defended” Curry, he was getting blown by. He wasn’t matched up with Klay because Klay runs nonstop so Harden ended up on KD and, well, “KD has a mismatch”!

You’re shitty at ball

There were a lot of, “These Rockets are specifically designed to beat the Warriors” bits that I actually nodded along with. There’s still a lot of basketball to play, but I feel dumb for taking them very seriously.

Save it for the Dead Letters, Jerry.

Golden State checked him just fine after his flurry in the opening minutes, generously accommodating the Rockets’ desire to match him up with Steph Curry

Why, you could almost say that not all isolations are equal.

“Kevin Durant has a mismatch” is the safest thing to say in all the English language.

Yes, you’re right, literally the only option for a team with two top-shelf penetrators and passers on it is to have those two top-shelf penetrators and passers take turns dribbling away the shot-clock so they can crank up contested jumpers.

Is this the thread where we shit on Harden’s box score?

Watching Harden/Paul dribbling for 23.2 seconds then throwing a desperation pass at a disinterested teammate to hoist up a shot before the shot clock expires will never not be funny. Only way it could be better is if the soundtrack was “Yakety Sax”.

I haven’t watched much Houston basketball this year, and I’m glad I haven’t. It was painful. Harden dribbling down to 5 seconds every possession as you said was so damn boring. D’antoni definitely has more in his arsenal than this, but I guess this “worked” for the regular season, so they’re going to ride it into the…

The weird thing from this objectively terrible season of the show is finding out that Tanya Harding is a better dancer than Nancy Kerrigan, who appeared in an earlier season. It’s annoying to see her story presented as redemption considering her lack of contrition, though.

Doesn’t look like anything to me.

I understand that it’s cool to hate on the Warriors because their fans are herbs (valid reason) and because they win a lot (less valid reason) and because Kevin Durant opted to make a mountain of money while fulfilling his professional goals at his preferred place of employment (which is a bullshit reason to hate on…

He scored 30 points after that, and they were tied at halftime. You are a moron.

You can’t flop for the foul if you are putting up a fight.
