    Better team don't matter in basketball when it comes down to one game. The NCAA proves that every single year man. Every year it is proven. Said this before the game. Kenny Smith said it. Warriors could win one single game, all they needed to do.

    Their guys, Quinn, Jerebkoo, Bell, all of these guys outplayed everyone not named CP3 or Harden.

    I'm not giving anyone a pass, just stating facts.

    This isn’t the NCAA man. The better team always prevails in a 7 game series. Everyone knows that (maybe not). We matched up with them even when they had KD and now you wanna flip script and say otherwise? We had the better players and team on paper the moment KD left. Media talking about a Rockets blowout, Vegas had us as a 7 point
    favorite.

    Also, It wasn’t 1 game. Everything was equal up until the moment KD left. 2-2 series anybody’s game heading into the 4th. The Warriors are better at basketball than us with or without KD. Truth hurts I know, just stating facts.

    Take on a bad contract from the hawks and also get trae young...trade Capela and Gordon to the hawks. Would the hawks agree? We are assured of a great shooter who can space the floor.

    it was one game. klay helped carry the load too. curry and thompson are hot and cold when they get hot which is random its hard to beat. just accept that rockets were not meant to beat them. doesnt matter what anyone does. you can trade harden but youll be in same place as now. no championships. the problem is paul and capelas contracts and getting out of those.

    Yeah, I’m really excited right now and celebrating like it’s the summer of 1995! I’ll try to keep it down.

    Cp3 almost made Shaun Livingston's knee jerk when he slammed Livingston to the he ground start of 4th quarter.

    It was one game cause Harden was passive and didn’t TAKE game 5 when it was there for the taking. He made things harder for himself and he doesn’t do well under pressure anyways so it ended up being 1 game.

    Curry and Klay getting hot is random? Weird, they seem to randomly get hot when it matters the most. Why can’t Harden randomly get hot in crucial moments when he’s facing elimination? If we won like we could have/ should have CP3 and Capela’s contracts wouldn’t look nearly as bad. It’s all a mess now. Again, not blaming Harden entirely but as the leader of this team and “MVP” of the league he didn’t come thru for us. If you think he did enough then agree to disagree I’m not going to change your mind.

    everyones to blame. whatever seasons over. warriors need to give capela an honorary ring though forreal. play him all of reg season max minutes to justify his pay and keep a real C fresh for playoffs. that turd deserves 50% of the blame at least.

    Y’all need to stop it with these HORRIBLE trade proposals. Would the Hawks agree? U know good and well they would never do something that stupid.

    I mean it was one game though? KD wasn't out for the series, it was one game, NCAA is still basketball, Warriors had to win one game.

    I literally called this after game 5. The Warriors post game comments showed that they took a one game approach, win one for the gipper, one shining moment...they knew what was up. Never underestimate the heart of a champion, that's what happened tonight.

    You're right, better team prevails in a 7 game series.

    Rockets have one all-star, GSW still has four, still had three on the court to our one even while missing Durant.

    Paul pretty much gave everything he had left in the tank in the third quarter but in the fourth he was quiet because he had nothing left.At this point he is not even a star anymore so if you think someone will be dumb enough to take that deal then good luck. Our best bet is to package Clint and Eric to get a legit star back

    I say get a new coach and have them run set plays every now and again. You can’t keep a defense honest when you run the same play type into the ground.

    Pop knows multiple offenses, and he has run different schemes throughout his Spurs dynasty. Kerr is one of his disciples.

    tf is this hot take?

    He's been carried by KD all playoffs. And in game 6, he was carried by Klay and the bench up until the 4th quarter.

    Please stop.
