I think the Cavs probably win vs. the Rockets. Not to mention that might be the most unwatchable series in the history of basketball. LeBron iso vs Harden iso. Seven games of one on one with 8 guys standing around in the corners.
I'm with you on the Warriors Simple math says the Rockets should beat the Cavs, but Harden is their leader, so there you go. No way in hell I could pick Harden over LeBron I wouldn't take 2 Hardens over 1 LeBron Lol
Hopefully, Ingram was watching Tatum this postseason Big improvement with his shooting this year, but he may not ever be the shooter or even the scorer that Tatum is Tatum is just pure buckets, way better footwork, silky J, post game/back to the basket/face up/etc., attacks from all over with actual moves and counters, his creativity is already A1 However, Ingram can still be a better all-around player than Tatum, similar to LeBron/Kobe That said, they didn't take Ingram over Tatum..they took Zo over Tatum, so Zo better work out Way too many laughs about LAL taking Zo over Tatum on Twitter last night Lol
I think they WERE 21-0 without CP3 until they lost game 6 but to expect another game to go my way would be the ultimate pipe dream. LOVED watching the Celtics fans disappointed faces. Not a Rockets fan by no means but my hate for the NoCal teams exceeds my fandom.
Harden is going to have to pull a Magic vs Philly Game 6 or a LeBron Game 6 vs. Boston for Houston to have a chance. Not sure he has that in him.
so flat earth irving couldn't make game 7 because of nasal surgery for a deviated septum... hardly a surgery that couldn't have waited little bitch knew leeby was going to be celebrating on that parquet floor and didn't want to see it
GSW has put together some of the greatest 3rd quarters If HOU can just withstand the 3qt storm here maybe pressure can help get them home in the 4th
Pringles did the best he could with what he has: a great one on one player that doesn't play defense and chokes in big games. Glad to see uglyball and smug GM Morey fail.
Yeah that's quite enough Houston over the last year with the whole Dodgers' choke job in Game 7 Sorry Rockets, but GTFO, 27 straight missed 3pters in the game Lol
I still think this is as much a Pringles problem as a Harden problem. At what point in an 0-27 3 point miss barrage do you tell your team to cool it, get a rhythm and then perhaps shoot a three at opportune times? In Pringles' theory of coaching, apparently never. Of course I'm still bitter at him for essentially running Kobe into the ground, and stubbornly refusing to change his philosophy about offense when he had a team ill suited to scoring in the first 4 seconds.
The funny thing is the offense he runs now would be perfect for Kobe. I think their one dimensional offense is an artifact of Morey telling Pringles how to run the team. It's all anylytics driven with no consideration for the dynamics of an individual game or matchup. But yeah, when you're bricking three's and blowing the game, mix it up and try something else. Anything else.
On the double. And now GSW needs to dropkick LeBron's ass and send him our way so we can resume with the Lakers/Celtics rivalry. GSW is showing some cracks, perhaps the right group could catch them slipping next year
