    total choke game by Harden and they still win. Crazy to have the ball in his hands for their last shot.

    Curry wide open. Warriors miss last 9 threes.

    And Houston has home court advantage back. Curry has never beaten Paul in a playoff series. Paul was last PG to beat Curry in Western Conference playoff series.

    from realGM:

    This feels like the 2016 finals. Warriors are great at splashing threes and dancing when they are up big, but get anxious when things get close.

    So true.

    Golden State should trade Klay. No way is he worth a super max contract.

    Will be interesting to hear the ESPN douchebags' "first take" lol. They have been dick riding Golden State the likes of which I've never seen. Ugh. Fuck anyone who makes me root for Houston.

    He was the high scorer in the game. I guess everyone choked?

    Maybe he is not a choker; maybe he just doesn't have the stamina to perform in the second half. He scored something like 4 points in the second half; was 0 for 5 on some pretty wide open 3's.

    I argued that David Robinson should win MVP the year the Spurs tanked for Duncan. I see you hold similar views.

    The weird thing about the past couple of games of Rockets-Warriors is that they've turned on DEFENSE. I think people were thinking we'd get 140-135 type scores.
