GS was the best team in the league before they got the weakest top 5 player in the NBA. Weakest? Did you see him bully Harden pretty much all night? Say what you want about Durant, he's the best player in the league IMO.

I thought Houston quit after the missed backcourt violation with 3+ minutes left.

Say what you want about Durant, he's the best player in the league IMO. we will never know if he is the best player in the league? thats my point. He will never lead his own team to a championship and to be considered top 15-20 all time, you have to have done that. He has 0% pressure to perform. If he doesnt even show up they win this. They had already won one champ and were on their way to another before he even got there. If he went to another team with some other players and they put something together with him as the lead dog then fine, but that is STEPH CURRYS team, not his.

Anyone who thought Houston had a chance to win this series was crazy, I thought they would be lucky to win one game. I wouldn't be surprised if they got swept. Which works in Lebron's favor because now he can go play with Chris Paul who is his best friend and be the savior of the team. Golden State is 27-3 in their last 30 playoff games, in that time that is still one less loss than what it takes to lose a series. This is season is done and GS will be world champs. Plain and simple. The fun series will be Celtics/Cavs.

So Bron is going to Houston? or are they going to LA? I don't know what kind of contract CP3 has.

Well that didn't look good for Houston. We may be lucky to see this thing go 5 games. Houston was running too many iso plays and the shot clock seemed to always be under 5 seconds when I looked up at it. May not have been what Houston was running so much as it was Golden State's Team Defense. Warriors ran the Rockets off the 3 point line all night, which is Houston's bread and butter. If you live by the 3, you die by the 3. Houston has always been streaky when it comes to their shooting. They had some good shots that they missed that they usually make. Not to mention Gordon couldn't throw the ball in the ocean last night.

So pre-Durant, when Curry got hurt, what kind of numbers and winning % did GS put up? When Curry got hurt this year, was it different? Yes, it was. It's Durant's team. Who do they interview after just about every game? Courtside interview, not post-game press conference.

DerVor, did you see the GOAT just getting whatever shot, whenever and wherever he wanted it--all game long. Houston has no answer for him.

One championship and should have been 2 in a row. so yes they were the best team in the NBA by a lot. Durant can take plays off, do what ever he wants, he could break his leg and this team would cruise to a trophy.

Rockets in 7- More PNR, defensive switching, and heavy iso is what will win Houston the series.

Some of the blame for this also falls on D'Antoni. Despite having some great teams in Phoenix and now Houston he has never been to the finals, nobody plays defense, no accountabliity and the team has no leadership. Look at the last 5 minutes of the game, Houston down by 9. Harden had 3 turnovers, one 3pt made, 1 assist and 2 ft's, and played exactly no defense, when they needed someone to step up Harden is arguing w the refs and getting blown by on def by Curry, dude is a choke artist.
