Houston is never really out of a game with the way they play. If you bomb a three every possession some have to go in...string a few together and next thing you know it's a 12-0 run.

Houston is about to get run off the court with Harden sitting.

Every single Houston possession is an ISO three with like 18 seconds left on the shot clock. Absolutely no ball movement. You're not beating GS that way.

Fully healthy Celtics squad may be the only thing preventing GSW from 1990s Chicago Bulls like domination in coming years. Still unfathomable that we’re watching a team with a 73-win nucleus AND Kevin Fucking Durant.

Durant ruined everything. Celtics are only team built to compete with them and we don’t have our damn starting backcourt.

This game has everything. Draymond making Harden and his antics seem sympathetic, Harden showing elite skills on offense and his turnstile ways on defense. And Scott Foster and Tony Brothers emceeing the whole circus.

Oh and amazing play by Durant and Thompson too.

So how was that a foul against the player defending Durant?

I am not blaming the refs or anything like that, just a basic question. What is the defender supposed to do there?

HOU has no answer for Durant. Neither does CLE. Wonder how Brad will play it.

Keep his arms horizontal and not up into Durant's body. And the speed of the game makes it both easier said than done as well as tough for refs to call consistently.

Chris Paul will pad his stats with 4 points in the final minute then talk a bunch of shit as he loses by 10+ at home as the favorite. Guy is underrated hateable because he's never played in a big game before.

I don't think Houston is mentally tough enough to get over a game 1 loss. They put everything into this.

I enjoyed the 6 month farce that the NBA is an actual competitive league.

CP3 & Harden on the same damn team makes me cheer for the Warriors. Yuck.

The Celtics, Toronto and Harden were the only teams that actually care during the regular season
