Why you being a dick?

3 minutes left down 10, you need to score quickly and get stops. An immediate foul allows them to score with no time coming off the clock.

It worked. But it easily could have backfired. It was an unnecessary risk in a game GS had complete control of.

So how do you know this but the pros don't?

I'm not being a dick, you don't like when posters disagree with you.

It's only boring because Cleveland stop having a chance to compete with the Warriors after 2016

Sorry, I didn't want to see Lebron win a title on this Houston team especially with a gimp CP3.

As a Cavs fan I would have preferred to lose to Boston instead of wasting time in the finals and losing to the Warriors in 4 or 5.

I think Lebron gets them 1. I wouldn't rule out a sweep though. I'd have to see when Iggy's back.
Normally I might agree, but his others haven't shown up much & GS is 10x better than Bos - AND GS can win the road.

So......@10HtownRebs what was that about the Dubs better win in 6?

You forget the Warriors had the refs on their team too. Yes they shot 12 FTs to the Rockets' 22 but still.

As a Cavs fan I prefer they beat the warriors and win the ship

Warriors and Cavs are the same for me at this point so not having another team there to possibly win the title is disappointing

Capela gonna cry in the locker room.

Luckily, he will have stacks of $100 bills to dry his eyes on this Summer.

Wrong.

They are sending a 40% free throw shooter to the line.

That means at best they are giving them on average 1 pt per possession and completely slowing their offense.

You’re acting like they were fouling Harden.

Did you see how quick the rockets started getting 2 pts once capela was out??

No.

Because even bad FT shooters can find rhythm when you put them there so many times in a row.

Like I said. Unnecessary risk.

And they got those 2s because GS stopped helping in order to stay home on shooters. Another strategy. That one I happen to agree with given the time and score when they started doing that (under 2).

Houston will never win with Harden and D'antoni, I think that is clear. One of the two, if not both, need to go, and as we all know, the coach is easier to replace.

But...as we all know, Harden's jersey hangs from the rafters in Houston's strip clubs. HOF baby!

No fun going up against a team knowing that you're going to lose for the 3rd time in 4 years. In that case let another team in the East play the Warriors and get dominated.

It's no fun going to the NBA finals? OK then.
