1) Houston Rockets vs. 2) Golden State Warriors

Can we please stop re-litigating the past, and try looking forward instead??
None of that matters tonight.
This is game 7.

No

The term 'Oriental' is outdated, but is it racist?

Yeah - there are plenty Asian slur words that are much more offensive than oriental that I can think of

2016 they had a hobbled Curry and Iggy was clearly not right health wise (in game 6 he couldn't even jump for a rebound).

It's unfortunate for the Rockets that CP3's hurt and not able to play. But no one brings up Iguodala not being on the court since game 3. Shit goes both ways.

Iggy is a role player. Paul is a star and their 2nd best/most important player

Iggy would be the same as Houston missing PJ Tucker or Capela

No

Iggy allows Golden St. to use their death lineup. He's a 3-point threat and someone that could play the 4 and allow Draymond to swing to the 5. Iggy may not be the caliber of player that Paul is, doesn't mean he's not as important.

We are in the last days on basketball.

This convo can take us thru June.

Capela is a great comparison.

He still not as important as Paul.

Without Paul on the roster this year, they don't finish 1st and likely dont make it to the conference finals.

Sorry but iggy isn't as important as cp3 and never will be...especially not when there are 4 top 25 players on that roster

I get Iggy is important but CP3 is a much greater loss..........Harden is the only guy who can handle the ball now......There is a reason the line is GS-6......If just Iggy was out Vegas prolly would not adjust a line.

I never said Iggy being out was more important than Paul being out.

I'm just debunking this attempt at blowing off any injuries Golden St. is going through over what Houston is going through. Notice that Golden St. hasn't been the same since Iggy went down until the 2nd half of game 6.

Capela is a great comparison.

And if Capela was out of the game, that paint opens up real quick for Golden St.

LOL....I totally understand all that....but let's save all those what ifs, ands or buts... the 2nd guesses, and the hindsight 20-20 stuff for then.

Yep.

Like Iggy, he's not a star.

But, he is essential to their success.

I hear ya....

We don't want to beat that horse to death when we still have ball to watch.

But, it is inevitable....lol

Good article. Margaret Cho has it right. White people are afraid to say anything to negros about race so they tell the Asians how to feel.

The start of the game will immediately tell us whether the Warriors came to play tonight or were just planning to coast through a Chris Paul-less Rocket team.
