NBA 2019 Playoffs Thread

I find myself actually rooting for GS in this series simply because of Harden and the refs. If the C’s can make the Finals dealing with that all series would be maddening.

Rockets already down 10 to a Warriors team with a hobbled Curry and hobbled Klay.

Shooting 5-21 from the field and 1-14 from behind the arc.

Oh, and Harden is shooting 2-9 to start. Why does that not surprise me...

I picked HOU to win in 6, but the truth is, if one thing is stopping them, it's probably Harden choking (again).

Me too. Don't want Houston to win because of how they play. Boo Harden-ball.

These referees are pretty bad.

Klay Thompson keeps fouling Harden on 3s and he refs are not making the calls.

I'm glad refs are making harden play to earn it.  None of this tap on the wrist making him fall over sh*t.  I hate harden with 35 points after 20 from the free throw line...make him earn it.

The Rockets style is literally just Harden dribble, dribble, dribble... until the shotclock goes down to 5, and then either a fadeaway 3 attempt or a pass to someone who dribbles a bit and takes an awkward shot themselves. Somehow it works well for them, but yeah it's just ugly basketball. Basically only 2, maybe 3 guys touching the ball each possession.

But their 3s started falling in the 2nd and now it's a tie game.

Those plays Klay is making are the type of play they used to get Kawhi out of their series with SAS two years ago. Frankly GSW should cut out that garbage punk play. It is dangerous.

I think he is flopping myself...begging for a foul call.

Klay was doing what Pachulia did a few years ago, did it twice in one half (at least) and no call

Yeah I was going to say, those non-calls are the kind of plays that injure someone, like Kawhi 2 years ago.

Even the ref consultant on tv said those were fouls. Not sure why you see otherwise.

I don’t feel sorry for a guy that literally makes a living baiting calls. Hopefully that changes in these playoffs but I expect a whistle fest going forward.

Remove superstar calls first.
