Curry so good he scores for the rockets too

 

[Cooter]

How can Rockets fan chant MVP for Harden? Seriously, wouldn't you feel embarrassed?

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Did you bet on a single game or a sweep?

The entire conference finals for the east. My money is safe. LBJ will not let Cavs lose. If Kyrie even comes back (which I know he won't) it's game over.

 

[reKon]

CURRY HAS 45!

 

[Redd]

At least Golden State didn't roll over like the Rockets did in game three. Fought them to the last few minutes evem cutting it to 6.

 

[EatinOlives]

Okay, if you really want to hear it then yes, you are totally wrong.

So they WEREN'T fouling him intentionally? Really? You're sticking with that story?

 

[random25]

No sweep in the WCF. Glad to see the Rockets at least not conceding in this game. GS homecourt is one big hurdle to overcome, but let's see if they can push their chances some more.

 

[ekim]

4-0

When you lose a series without winning a game. So in a best of seven series, losing 4-0. Which the Rockets prevented tonight. The Hawks can get swept by the Cavs if they lose tomorrow.

It means to win the series by not losing any games.

Thanks guys.

 

[RowdyReverb]

That was a good game.

A very dramatic game too. An injured MVP, a flagrant foul, a foul-out, all under a wild thunderstorm.

 

[RedAssedApe]

damnit...had my broom all ready. really poor first quarter but at least they battled and made it tighter than the laugher it looked like this was going to be.

hope this means klay is breaking out of the slump. haven't seen much splash bros this series until tonight combined 12/26 from three.

Jesus. What kind of payout is that?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

So they WEREN'T fouling him intentionally? Really? You're sticking with that story?

lol, I'm saying you're wrong for saying they are cheaters. If they are cheaters then so are your precious Rockets unless you forgot a guy named Deandre Jordan.

 

[dream]

I think it's really a testament to how good GSW is for them to be able to give up a game just so they can win the series at home.

 

[TheSadRanger]

I don't know about that....

Could you imagine if the Rox somehow push this to 7 and make history???!???!??

They would be known as the Goku of the NBA, you beat em to near death and they come back stronger than ever.

 

[Fjordson]

Wonder if the league office will upgrade Dwight's flagrant to a flagrant 2. Would be suspended for Wednesday's game.

 

[Baroquemantic]

I hate how injuries, hard falls, etc. are always replayed over and over.

A very dramatic game too. An injured MVP, a flagrant foul, a foul-out, all under a wild thunderstorm.

Yep yep.

 

[Rainy]

So Hawks gonna get swept tomorrow? What do you guys think?

Also great game Rockets-GAF, y'all played really well.

 

[RedAssedApe]

hortford isn't suspended though?

 

[MIMIC]

I hate how injuries hard falls, etc. are always replayed over and over.

It LOOKED bad, but it definitely wasn't as bad as it looked.

His mom even knew

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Would take four straight performances like the one tonight. Seems statistically impossible.

 

[RoKKeR]

Crazy crazy game. Honestly pretty impressed that GS was close-ish (within 7) near the end of the game after the Rockets just rained in 3's, but good on Houston for showing up and grinding it out.

Think GS will close out next game but that was quite the game to watch.

 

[RedAssedApe]

if you want to see bad...go watch shaun livingston's knee injure.

miracle that dude is playing still

 

[Mr. Sunny]

LeBrawn about to go HAAAAAMMMMM on the Hawks tomorrow.

 

[Dynomutt]

115-128. Who's playing defense? I miss the Spurs.

 

[lovely ladies]

Why is Broussard screaming?

 

[Fjordson]

hortford isn't suspended though?

It wouldn't be for the flagrant 2 alone. You get a certain number of flagrant points in a single post season. Dwight had a few against LAC, so if it's upgraded to a flagrant 2 he would hit the limit for a one game suspension.

 

[Baroquemantic]

It LOOKED bad, but it definitely wasn't as bad as it looked.

His mom even knew

Oh definitely. I just hate looking at it when looks bad, cause sometimes it's hard to look away, like when you see a wreck.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

LeBrawn about to go HAAAAAMMMMM on the Hawks tomorrow.

40 points on 40 shots while being wheeled onto the court in a full body cast.

 

[RedAssedApe]

ah...figure baby dwight would have more flagrants under his belt lol

 

[Cooter]

Yeah, I'm confident it will be upgraded. He back handed him with a closed fist to the head. If that's not a flagrant 2 then what is?

 

[EatinOlives]

lol, I'm saying you're wrong for saying they are cheaters. If they are cheaters then so are your precious Rockets unless you forgot a guy named Deandre Jordan.

Hacking is bullshit, period. It's bullshit when the Rockets do it, it's bullshit when the Warrior's do it, and it was bullshit when they were hacking Jordan. It's an illegitimate use of fouls and truly sad to see players literally running toward a random player to foul him, no matter who's fouling who. It slows the game to a crawl and is just bs basketball.

And yeah, nice try. They're not "my precious Rockets", they've been garbage this series and don't really care if they go. I'm sure you've bitched at the Rockets hacking "your precious Warriors", but are quick to "not care" when it's the other way around.

Smith needs to practice his damn FTs too.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Dude just dropped 45 on the best team in the NBA. Hats off to you, sir. Good job.

 

[mashoutposse]

Home court advantage teed up to finally demonstrate itself for the Warriors in Game 5. The conditions will be harsh for Houston.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Dude just dropped 45 on the best team in the NBA. Hats off to you, sir. Good job.

Honestly, this performance deserves more praise than Lebron last night. It was insanely efficient.

 

[timetokill]

You guys are missing actually awesome playoffs over in the NHL. Ducks and Blackhawks going to OT for the third time this series, with the series tied 2-2. Blackhawks just tied it with one of the most improbable goals I've seen with 40 seconds left.

 

[Chezzymann]

Even if we lose next game, I'm glad Harden had this crazy game just so that I wouldn't hear that nonsense of people thinking the second best player in the league is crap or something again for the whole off season. Good game by the rockets. 4-0 in elimination games. Let's steal one in Oracle now. One game at a time.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Honestly, this performance deserves more praise than Lebron last night. It was insanely efficient.

When is your hard on for Lebron going to get flaccid? We get it, Lebron shit in your cereal, at least pretend that you're somewhat okay with it, damn.

The Lebron hate is sickening because it still has no substance.

Has nothing to do with hate. I would have made the statement regardless. Calm down.

If he had a hard on for Lebron wouldn't that mean that he likes Lebron?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Why is Broussard screaming?

He was born deaf, blind and dumb.

 

[eBay Huckster]

If he had a hard on for Lebron wouldn't that mean that he likes Lebron?

I'm assuming he means a hateboner

Flash flood warning for another hour and 45 minutes...those folks are going to be in the Toyota Center for a while.

dream, noooooooooooooo....

Harden the second best player in the league? Hmm...

 

[TheSadRanger]

Honestly, this performance deserves more praise than Lebron last night. It was insanely efficient.

Yea, ppl give Harden a lot of shit for driving to the basket and throwing his arms in the air trying to draw fouls. But he can make some incredibly tough shots off the dribble and driving to the rim. 45 pts off of 22 shots..........

It's so weird to see a player go -20 in the differential one game, and +20 the next.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Harden the second best player in the league? Hmm...

Who is your #2 from this past season? Kobe?

Second best player on the court maybe. Second best in the league? Nah.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Yet, you can't help yourself and have to find some way to discredit him at ever chance you get lol. It's transparent

If he had a hard on for Lebron wouldn't that mean that he likes Lebron?

That's exactly what it means lol. Except it's to the point that he hates to love him

 

[Lionel Richie]

Remember that Barkley quote on Drexler trying to beat MJ? "Clyde was trying to play like it was Game 7 against Michael, and that's probably not a good idea. When Michael is driving his kids to school, he thinks it's Game 7"

I think that's why Kerr went all in on this game instead of conceding. I'm okay with that.

 

[TheSadRanger]

It does kind of remind me of D.Wade how Harden can look disinterested and have a shitty game and come back and dominate the next one........
