+1 The Rockets-Warriors series is the only one I find interesting at the moment. I was into the Raptors-Sixers until the last blowout. Hope Hou-GS goes to game 7, which I think it will...
Warriors take the next two IMO. They made it interesting (by not playing well) but it's time to lock it up and rest so they can trounce either Portland or Denver.
Rockets lost a good opportunity last night. Capella needs to sit until he can prevent being a liability at both ends. Nobody took the reins to run things in the fourth (should have been Harden). CP3 is not playing up to expectations either. I hope Durant is not out long (if any).
Durant out for game 6. There's an opportunity. He might be half the man he is for Game 7, if he can even make that. Now it's gettin REALLY interesting.
Durant won't get re-evaluated until next week so definitely out Game 6 and prolly Game 7. As much as I hate to see him injured, this definitely changes the complexion of the series. I look back to last season's Conference Finals when the Rockets were in control and CP3 went down in Game 5. The parallels are eerily similar but GSW has the start talent to step up with Curry sending it last night end of the 3rd and 4th quarters and Klay and the others stepping up too. Remember how good GSW was before KD came to town. Can they return to that level of play with the Splash Brothers, Green, Iggy, Livingston is the question. Regardless, the series got a whole lot more competitive and exciting. Look to Toronto and Denver closing out both series tonight. Is Embiid still under the weather will be the question. If healthy, the Sixers stand a chance. Rip City might take tonight's game with Dame and CJ going big but I still think the Nuggets win the series even if going 7 games.
This is what my crystal ball shows me... Someone send Embiid to the hospital already. Simmons can't shoot. 76ers are done. It's the KLAW vs. The Greek Freak. The Greek Freak could very well be the MVP of the season, but that doesn't mean a damn thing to the Klaw... the silent assassin. Both players have subpar teammates imo. This series will show who is truely the better player. Klaw comes out on top. The Beard eliminates GSW with the Snake being out. The Splash Brothers and Splash Others are shells of their former selves. They relied too much on the Snake to bail them out. The Klaw vs The Beard in the Finals. The Klaw reminds the Beard what he did to him 3 years ago and wins the championship. The Klaw becomes the only player in NBA history to win the championship ... by himself. The North celebrates. The Klaw moves back to L.A.
Game 5 was really difficult to watch. With all the flopping and the acting - has it turned into soccer, or WWF wrestling????
Steph has a clutch mode like no other. All those free throws were clutch. Not a single jitter in his body. The man is legendary.
Rockets deserve alot of credit for putting up a great fight against a juggernaut of a team. What a series.
Heartbreaking loss for Rockets. GSW has too many weapons. Curry and Thompson can elevate their game at the most critical moments. So clutch in the 4th quarter.
Rockets must rebuild, they will never beat GSW in this form. They need an alpha leader, Capella and Paul need to go (don’t perform to their contracts), and to be stronger mentally.
Crazy ending to the raptors-sixers series. I really thought all top seeds would advance but these 2-3 matchups today were so close.
