Yeah, basically. This win is no joke; Houston is a very good team in a do or die game.
I can't stand that aesthetically disgusting beard either. It's like a nest for insects.
I disagree. What can he do? He has managed to bring in bodies even though his cap is completely encumbered. And to be fair, nobody is beating the Warriors as currently constituted.
Man I love Steph Curry. NBA version of Brady. Whenever the chips are down, he takes his game to another level and makes the big plays.
Klay was great too. Kept the team in it early when Steph was struggling.

The Durant-less Warriors are really likeable. The parity in the league will make for a really fun season next year if he leaves.
I think his worst decision was trading Lou Will and Harrell for CP3 but he is pretty good otherwise. No comment on my softness. I own it.
He's massively overpaid two career losers, Harden and CP. That's criminal, imo.
Yes. Just not good enough and no assets to facilitate improvement. Last 2 years was their shot. Harden makes this a playoff team every year but elite Paul is gone.
I think D'Antoni gets fired. Kerr outcoached him. Oh well. We needed to build a big enough lead to withstand the late onslaught. We didn't. We were 2 shots away from breaking it open a few times in the 4th but just couldn't do it. And you know late in the game those Curry 3s are backbreakers. I don't know where we go from here. We can't run it back again with Paul a year older, the dude is too slow to be effective against good teams now. I don't know what we can do.
Id argue Harden's contract is as bad as Paul's. Any dollar you're paying Harden to be your #1 is setting your money on fire. He can't even resemble a leader when it actually matters.
He had some bad plays in the 4th (offensive foul on Green, turnover when it was a 5pt game) but these things happen over a 7-game series. Without him we're nothing. There's only one winner in the NBA so Harden will get a ton of shit from everyone for not winning this year, but IMO he's still one of maybe 5 players that you can build a team around him that has a shot at winning a ring.
Is 33 points the most points scored in the 2nd Half of a playoff game after 0 in the 1st Half?
this made me laugh. indeed!
that's what kills me...i'm a GS hater and, voila, btw hating Chris Paul much more vigorously and loving the Durant-less style of play (and I love Steve Kerr, too), all of a sudden rooting like hell for these guys.
Much more fun to root for them.
I'd say that about CP3, though admittedly he was good tonight. Still so happy-making to see that cowardly, cheap-shot-ing bastard go down again.
