I say Iggy plays.
And Warriors squash the rockets.
And we have a meme of CP3 and Morey crying. |

No way Houston wins. Harden is going to choke, I guarantee it. |
Harden had like 10 points in an elimination game last year....I don't think he will pull a rabbit out of the hat especially now that the Warriors will focus their defense on stopping him knowing that CP3 ain't there. |

I say the game plan is let Harden get his in the first half.
Don't let anyone else hurt you.
Then harden runs out of gas in the 2nd half like he always does. |

He knew the youngsters would choke and didn't want to give LeBron a hug at the end of the game  |

It’s going to be funny watching them try to defend GS. |

Harden getting exposed in this video. At the end it also addresses the Rockets fans complaining about the refs in game 6.

Actually I think LeBron would beat the Rockets. He won't beat the Warriors though. So I want to see the Warriors win tonight so they can beat LeBron in the finals. |

I'm unsure what you mean
4 of those 6 were definitely fouls (2,3,4, and 5) and the 6th one is questionable but a non call is fine as long as they let bodying up like that go both ways (that second one, he turns side on and draymond gets "favourable call", how is that an argument that the reffing wasn't bad? his leg is out and that makes a foul on the chest not a foul? um you know the leg and chest are different parts of the body right?). The first one certainly was clean and is pretty much textbook verticality.
I didn't even watch the game live close enough to notice the reffing (was doing two things at once) but the ones he chose were just bad calls.

I am LeBron fanboy, the guy is simply sensational.
Still far and away the best player in the league, amazing.

What's comical is forcing the bron as goat narrative down our throats. It's all opinion and imo, he is a great player but not GOAT. It is impossible to pick one consensus GOAT across eras because there is not one consensus criteria. It's ALL opinion.
3-5, soon to be 3-6 is not something I am in amazement of. |

| I wanted Hous to win tonight but now that bron made finals need warriors to make it. Instead of bricks by smart/Rozier/Brown it will be Klay/Steph/Durant shooting |

I don't see them winning it all tho until they make a trade for a top 5 caliber player. I don't think a player like that will being available for trade in the foreseeable future and they will never be a premier FA destination. Maybe they the take the approach where they will always have a solid team and in some down years when the best team is injured they can steal a ring. Ainge will make sure they always have assets to reload and stay young. |
Kyrie Irving and Hayward can be considered “huge free agent signings.”
You should expect improvement from their young players although they will need to worry about Horford’s decline soon. They are young, play defense, and coached well. I hope they strike out in the draft. |
Call me crazy but I don’t think that Hayward signing is going to work out for them, especially if they now have to take time away from Jaylen Brown or Tatum to get him some playing time. Irving was really all they needed in this series to take it.
The worst possible scenario for me is that dreaded Anthony Davis trade people have been talking about for a while now. If they can manage to pair AD, Kyrie, and Tatum together? Dear god. |

Hayward is really good and you can’t have too many long athletic talented wings in the NBA. Rozier is gonna be the one who’s playing time takes a big dip. |

rozier/Brown/Sac 2019 pick can get them a superstar (KL, AD or someone whose unhappy) if they are willing to part with those. |

True. However, it strikes me as an odd bit of irony that the guy who brought us the modern super team in Miami is likely to lose in the Finals for the second straight year to another super team. (Then he may move here or to the Sixers or elsewhere to form a counter-super team.) |

I was curious about that too but report came out today and Ainge says Kyrie had a surgery for a deviated septum.
Now, its probably true but I find it odd. They couldn't re-schedule? I would imagine Kyrie would have rather been at the game and done the surgery today?
Either way, that's the explanation. |
