We'll see if the Warriors recover from the end of the season stretch of stinkers.

Again, you are not getting my point.

I’m talking about when the two were matched up against each other one on one.

If Lebron is clearly better, he didn’t show it on the biggest stage when they went head to head.

which is like 90 percent of the current rim protectors, cant guard mobility or small ball lineups.

Gordon is just really streaky which isn’t ideal. Joe Johnson is a total corpse now.

Again, what I said is accurate (see below). Neither one of them can stop the other one on one and there is no shame in that (what with them both being top 5 scorers of all time).

They lost by 9 the last game. Kyrie would have made it for that. And they wouldn't have been down 19 in the first quarter.

It's basically just Anthony Davis.

Houston choking hard here (especially Harden). Gordon I think just sucks.

Yep. This is why Harden is a famous choker. Absolutely could have daggered the Warriors. If GS scores on this possession, it's over

[Why Not?]

Wow. Nice D that last possession. Big win for Houston

[Al Bundy]

Warriors just gave them that game.

[Al Bundy]

Rockets going to win this series in 6 or 7.

[-King-]

Called this series going 7. Sticking to it. I don't see either team winning 2 in a row.

Hahaha the Warriors choked that even harder.

Such a beautiful sight.

[KC_Connection]

Refs put 0.5 seconds on the clock? Damn, they really want the Warriors to win this.
