Durant 3-11, not shocked at all.
what are the chances durant loses tonight and calls LeBron

“I need more help. Join the Warriors”

At the very least I want Durant to demand his deserved max salary if the Ws lose. Like, if the teams isn't going to guarantee a championship every year, players should at least be looking out for themselves. This would hopefully lead to Klay demanding actual max dollars and that farce of a team falling apart.

I am not 100% sure I want Houston to win yet (would rather Lebron gets crushed and GSW provides the best opportunity), but knocking out the unstoppable force would be a great story regardless of who wins tomorrow night.

LeBron? What makes you think LeBron is going to the finals?

Jerry West is a snake-oil salesman. He has this knack on selling players to form super teams either by tampering (see the Shaq Signing) or collusion to circumvent salary cap (see Durant signing)

Jerry West knows more about the frustration of losing than almost any other former player.

To be honest, I want the Warriors to extend this to 7. I don't really care who wins as long as they both beat up each other.

No no no no...I want Houston but I agree if game 7 guarantees a HOUSTON then game 7 otherwise Houston can take care of business today


Yes give me Houston please. Celtics have a chance against Houston.

Agree. Would like another game to make them even more tired, but I’d be fine with Houston winning tonight and guaranteeing their spot in the Finals. I think a Houston/Boston series is a toss-up, with us even being favored if Paul is still injured.

Hold your horses, Boston still needs to take care of business tomorrow. And it's also a Game 7 so no cakewalk either.

Worst case scenario for Houston so far to start the 2nd half. Of course that loose ball found Klay in the corner for the wide open 3.

Trevor Ariza with the Marcus Smart shot selection, ugh.

Don’t know how Draymond got away with blatantly holding PJ’s jersey, but then again, it’s Draymond Green

Man Houston can be hard to watch as a 65 win team. I'm generally a fan of higher scoring, analytics basketball. It's only natural that the game evolve. But watching these guys shoot step-back 3 after step-back 3 after fast break 3 gets pretty lame at times.

A Houston win tonight is bad for us.  The NBA knows the Cavs can't beat GS.  They MIGHT be able to beat the Rockets.  So if the Rockets win the already ridiculous officiating we all know is coming tomorrow will actually be even worse than we thought.  That way the NBA can give Lebron a better chance at another manufactured ring.  At least if GS wins, our series will end first and if we can somehow overcome all odds and win at home, we ruin the NBA's hopes and dreams.
