Durant just really suckered the refs there. Really an underhanded play.

I'm saying it. If the Celtics finish off the Cavs, they will take either of these teams to at least 6 games, and could very well win the whole fucking thing.

Amazing that the Rockets are shooting 36 percent and 28 percent from 3 and only down 1.

Harden, CP3, Gordon are 11-for-40 from the floor and 5-for-25 from 3.

Would love to hear why they wouldn’t be competitive against this pretty shallow Houston team that relies on a guy who rents out his brain to a Celtics’ bench player.

If they win tomorrow night I'd feel they have more of a shot for a competitive series but right now the road struggles are real.

The other fear of mine are those cold stretches the Celtics have on offense every game. Things could get ugly quick against these two offensive juggernauts.

Houston has spent all night dribbling out the clock and jacking up bad shots. Celtics can defend the shit out of this team.

I actually don’t think Paul is playing very well; he’s just gotten lucky on a couple of shots.

There is WAY too much Kevin Hart in these NBA Playoffs.

Shit I wanted to go to bed but this game is close. What happened to all blow outs in the conference finals?

For all of their talent; GS’s offense has looked really poor and unsophisticated. I think Houston’s ability to switch most matchups takes away some of their strength; but Kerr needs to get these guys running a real system.

IMO the Celts can't play at this kind of pace for a series with 7-guys.

They'll be burned out/fouled out.

Houston only plays 7 guys.

Golden State usually plays 9, but every minute they give to Quinn Cook and David West is a minute they aren't giving to one of their starters which is fine by me.

Let's also not forget: Tatum: 20 years old, Brown: 21 years old, Rozier: 23, Smart: 23, etc.

I'll take the C's young legs, who have all received a ton of rest during the season because of the way Brad steals minutes against Chris Paul all day long. Rozier will run him around in circles for 3 quarters.

High-class problem. I'll give it a shot with our youngsters. Tatum, Brown, Rozier could run all night. Rockets aren't all that youthful (avg age of their regulars is over 30)

Larkin would get plenty of minutes and Semi could be of use. That's 9 bodies for you, is that enough?
