Thought I was gonna hear "Got some news for you and you'll soon find out its true, and then you'll have to eat your lunch I'll by yourself...."
....'cuz I'm already gone"


That's a damn good tune....in fact, that Eagles' album came out right around the time I was in Boot Camp at Lackland AFB in San Antonio.
(The Spurs were still in the old ABA back then.)

Let's count how many times Harden flops and also count how many times Durant flops and see who the king flopper is..

Harden is an unstoppable scoring virtuoso but some of the push offs and steps he gets past the zebras are borderline absurd.

But I will give it to Houston. The Rockets have played with a little more fire and grit. You can't ask for a better ending to this series. Game 7 win or die!

Okay...I've seen enough of JBell in this one...I like the dude, but he's overmatched.
I'd rather if Kerr went with McGee in the 2nd half. He brings more energy, blocks shots, rebounds, is a better passer, sets solid screens, and is more of an offensive option than Bell. I wonder if he's in Kerr's doghouse for some reason?

No way!

Bell has been good.

McGee has no chance against the Houston pick and roll. You won't see McGee again unless he gets the TT matchup in the Finals.

I told you clowns it wasn't Iguodala being gone that was the problem. Look at them today

It absolutely was the problem against the complete Houston team.

Against the version that only has 6 rotation players and is missing it's 2nd best guy, it doesn't matter.

You know what?

Considering his relative age and health... Klay Thompson could end up challenging Curry's spot as greatest shooter of all time.

No way.

Klay is fantastic.

But the degree of difficulty on Curry's shots is next level. Klay can be number 2, but Curry is number 1. Klay not passing him.

Iguodala actually played a fairly insignificant role for most of the season. This new "Hampton 5" idea for this series gives him some input, but when Thompson and Curry shoot like they did tonight with Durant that's all they need. The only reason they lost games 4 and 5 was because those three failed to show up in the 4th quarter.
I hear you about Paul though.

Translation:

Iggy doesn't score, and because I don't understand basketball I don't think his impact matters.

Just stop and think for a moment about who is absorbing his minutes. I can't phathom how anybody could not see his impact after watching games 4 and 5.

meh, i'm used to it...

having to deal with my wife's side of the family has prepped me well...

racism IS ignorance, but i just actually feel sorry for those people...

Some people just refuse to learn. No excuse after some of the past conversations on here regarding that term.

Lol and less than likely isn't saying much.

That could easily mean at the moment there is a 51% chance he doesn't play which is basically a toss up

Could also mean it is a 5% chance.

I still think he talks his way into the court. If nothing else, his presence could provide a Willis Reed like boost for the home crowd. That is the Rockets best chance to win game 7.

And if he does play, how effective is he going to be?

Iggy's another Draymond on the court in this case.

Ask your self this - whom would you rather be on the court, Bell, Looney or Iguodala?

He's a wing defender that can be put at the 3 or 4 and is a legit 3-point threat. The other two aren't. That's why Golden St. hasn't bee at their best the last 3 games.

Having said that, they need Iggy for game 7.

Tonights game was Rigged and fixed

You are right.

Clearly Houston tanked it. If they had just played hard for the last 3 quarters they would have won by 68.
