"ain't over 'til it's over"...

Warriors luck out again.


Last year it was Kawhi Leonard.

This year it’s Chris Paul.

Maybe Klay, Dray, KD and Curry need to stop whining to the refs and they will win OR they could just wait until CP3 can’t play and win the series, yeah that seems about right lol

all they need now is green suspended for game 7 so they can have alternative facts as to why they choked....
Too late. This will go down as one of the biggest choke jobs in NBA history. Completely lost their poise in the 4th quarter of games 4 and 5.

Agreed but again, they lost 2 games where their 2nd best defender and 2nd best facilitator was out, and lost them by basically one bucket. He matters. Doesn't excuse some crappy play in both games, but it's not like Houston smoked them. The Warriors have work to do but they are by no means finished. If the Rockets and their fans are already celebrating winning the series, that makes me very happy as a Ws fan.

This article says it well:

Paul's latest postseason injury comes one win away from NBA Finals
I'm not really buying the Andre excuse but they did play hard in game 5 they just went away from their game at the end in both games 4 and 5.
Watching Curry throw up that wild runner at the end and then Green trying to back tap the rebound when he was the only guy there and then bouncing the ball off his knee at the end was hard to fathom. Perhaps the people who are saying the Warriors have no experience in close games to draw on are correct. It just seems inexplicable.
Lastly, if we all see that they are playing iso ball ala the Rockets, doesn't Kerr see this and put them back in their offense?

Its very hard for me to feel sorry for Paul because I despise him but he has been huge in the last two games. If he can't play in the last two games, then I agree, the Warriors have a chance. All things being equal though they lost the series by blowing game 4.

This is simply false.
I don't know man. The look on Curry's face after he bricked 3 after 3 in the 4th quarter looks like maybe he has. Durant has lost it as well and there is no excuse for that. he can shoot over any man who guards him so if he is missing its not because of the defense on him.

CP3's shimmy was hilarious but I gotta give props to Curry for taking it (and the postgame questions about it) in stride.

This kinda sucks, I wanted a clean series. But I'm glad it's not Curry or Klay.
It happens though - Remember the year Karl Malone joined the Lakers? - Got down to the finals and the Lakers lost Malone and the finals - With Malone - the Lakers should have been able to win. Either way the Warriors just lost two games because Iggy was out - so I don't see where the Warriors have been any more lucky then Houston

I get that losing Iggy has an impact, but you can't compare losing Iggy for 2 games to (potentially) losing CP3 for 2 games.

Thats like when (some) Warriors fans tried to act like losing Bogut for 1.5 games was on par with losing Love & Kyrie for 11 games.
