Fuck yes. Harden Triple Double.

 

[MechDX]

Rockets gonna fuck around and steal game 6, then close it out at home in game 7. BELIEVE

Rudy T! Rudy T ! Rudy T!

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Stay hungry. Stay humble.

See you Thursday, NBA GAF.

Hmm...

Nothing less than a 5< win for the Rockets will get me excited again

Fuck it, they passed my goal and even hit my secret dare-to-hope goal of a 20 point blowout.

LET'S GOOOOO ROCKETS!!

Tbh, I just want them to be playing hard and keeping the game close next game.

Spoiler

And let's hope that there are no buzzer-beater 3-pointers against us this time

 

[DMczaf]

WTF is with this D- crew tonight?

 

[Chezzymann]

Great game by the Rockets. This is the team I remember. Now lets go and force a game 7.

 

[blackaroni]

I hope the Rockets play like this (or better) in the next 2 games!

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

I'd love it if CP3 missed another WCF after being up 3-1.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Cp3 you are 1 game away from the conference finals!! I expect a Spurs Game 7 like performance in game 6.

 

[Chezzymann]

I hope the reason the clippers played poorly wasn't because they are fatigued after winning two 30+ point blowouts and was because the rockets are finally getting their groove back and playing like they did in the regular season. I guess we'll see in game 6.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

All the pressure on the Clippers to close out at home. Will they choke?

No.

 

[Crud]

No.

Yes.

 

[SlackAdjuster]

Surprise, surprise, the Cleveland fans missed the instigator starting shit.

You mean where 3 seconds before the leglock when Gibson cracked him in the neck, or 1 second before where he shoved him onto the floor?

 

[LyleLanley]

Yes.

Yes.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

+1

and this dude pretends like he was "just freeing his leg" and isn't that kinda player. As he attempts to confront little Dellavadova and proceeds to shove JR Smith in the face.

yea ok, Taj.

Yes.

Yes.

 

[dream]

I missed the entire game. How did we lose to those fucks?

 

[Hyperactivity]

Yes.

Yes

Spoiler

There's going to be a massive wall of shame if we lose

A chipmunk and a punk.

ya'll got ya assess whooped.

and the biggest danger is that the Clips let a team that was down and breaking up off the mat with newfound confidence in themselves again. They're not a bad team and awakening a sleeping giant is fraught with peril. Clips better win in LA or they're probably going to lose this series.

A chipmunk and a punk.

A chimpmunk, a punk, and a bitch who can't do anything but dunk pushing each other around. What a world, the NBA is.

 

[WesternHeretic]

James Harden mess around and got a triple double.

Spoiler

And you guys shot 41% and let them shoot 54%.

No one was talking about Dwight Howard, not sure why you went there.

Lack of effort and early foul trouble starting with DeAndre Jordan.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Why does Jimmy Butler always shoot his 3s like a middle schooler taking fadeaway 3s yelling "KOBEEEEE!"?

lol I totally missed this post earlier.

 

[TheSadRanger]

You know I was thinking, Rick Carlisle would do really well coaching the Bulls.

I was more thinking Adam Gase.

New CBA goes into effect after next season. Nobody is opting out after this season. Maybe his agent is a dumb dumb, though.

Yeah, but we all know that's going to be a lockout year tho.

I wouldn't be surprised if it lasts a while either, Roberts doesn't seem like she's willing to back down and it's looking like the owners aren't willing to budge this time.

Rumor is the only way owners will agree to a large salary cap increase is if guaranteed contracts are restructured.

edit: Forgot to link that there's a pretty decent deadspin article on this. It goes into pretty good detail to.

Shaq's kid at freshman is alrady 6'9". Here he is playing basketball. Probably one of the few freshman kids in america who hopes he would stop growing tall soon. He could be the next AD/KD if he really puts in the work. My memories of bvasketball doesnt farther back than early 90's but I think were now experiencing the effects of having a Lebron or KD as the top dudes in the NBA.. Tall ass kids playing like guards.

 

[jmdajr]

Glad to see Rockets just didn't lay down.

Still gonna lose though :\

 

[TheSadRanger]

So did you guys see that the Inside guys signed a long term extension?

http://www.nba.com/2015/news/05/13/inside-the-nba-contract-extensions.ap/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpts

Pretty surprised they got Chuck back since he's been talking about how he wanted to do something else.

 

[flyover]

Maybe he realized that sports analysis is one of the few arenas where you can be wrong about pretty much everything and still get paid to do it.

Got rekt.

"Derrick Rose suffers right shoulder stinger, but is expected to be fine." This is his 2nd stinger.

In my head I imagined Derrick Rose reading this and I swear I just cant stop laughing holy hell lmao

Not convinced until I see him shoot freethrows.

Coach Nick Breaks Down Game 4 Tony Allen Adjustment by the Warriors.

Now before you think this is a praise Kerr video, he points out that the Grizz could've beaten that adjustment with slightly better execution. Allen shouldn't have kept cutting baseline under the hoop.

 

[Chezzymann]

I think fans need to stop dealing in absolutes (I'm guilty of this as well). Basketball, like any sport, is heavily rooted in momentum and streaks. After the rockets got blown out twice by the clippers everyone (including me) was saying that the rockets got 'exposed' and they were a really, really bad team. And after those losses it made perfect sense to say that.

Then the rockets turned around and blew out the clippers.

The clippers were just the hotter team for the first 4 games of this series, I'm not sure what funk the rockets were in but just because they got steamrolled in those games against the clippers doesn't erase the fact that the rockets got the number two seed, won 56 games, and won the western conference, easily the hardest conference in the NBA. You have to look at the bigger picture when analyzing the worth of these teams. Focusing on a handful of games and proclaiming that they're complete shit, even if they WERE playing like complete shit in those particular games, doesn't make sense.

 

[Uno Venova]

John Wall starting tonight, hope that's the right choice, shutting him down and letting him heal for next season is the smarter choice but they/he obviously doesn't want this series to slip away.

 

[dream]

Good for the refs, not calling that cheap ass attempt at drawing a foul by Teague.

It's such a stupid move, but at the same time refs need to stop changing when the exact same moves are fouls or not.

Yeah, sometimes they're not even consistent in a single game. I think it's easy enough to figure out though. If you jump sideways into someone, you should either not get the call, or get whistled for a charge.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

I'd be shocked if the Wiz aren't getting blown out by half time.

 

[Ronin]

Pleased to see Moose getting some work done.

Ralph Samson started that nonsense.

either team getting crushed next round

what a block that was by beal on that fast break but they didn't show the replay! come on tnt!

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Well I guess I'm shocked

Atlanta just doesn't look the same.

Wiz in 6.

Wiz vs Cavs - Wiz in 5.
