    I'll sh-t all over the Rockets because they should have won, and that's real. GSW with KD or without, Old Cp3 and Scared Clint, Rockets were still mere points away from beating the GSW.. Trash ass Blazers aren't comparable to Harden and the Rockets.

    The idea that Durant going down favors the Rockets doesn't make sense if you were to compare player by player.
    Curry = Harden
    Klay > C Paul
    Green >> PJ Tucker
    Looney >> Capela
    Iguodala > E Gordon

    Warriors are still more talented than Rockets even without Durant.

    6 years in a row Portland lost a series in 5 games or less

    Last 3 years eliminated by a sweep

    Previous 3 years eliminated in 5 games

    Well, at least Portland will always have winning the JV side of the Western playoff bracket this year.

    Networks losing so much money right now; serves them right.

    Exactly.

    It was laughable that folks here bought into the Rockets are favored theory especially given that Clint was no where to be found and CP3 was missing in the series.

    Folks were throwing a hissy fit that Harden single handedly did not carry them to victory against the Curry-Klay-Green-Iggy lineup.

    Next time, add more talent to the team to match your lofty expectations when going against an All time team like the Warriors.

    That team standing there does not look like some dominant team, but they haven't lost a game since Durant went down

    Man people were saying that Boogie going down favored the Rockets too.. I wanted Boogie and his weak Achilles AND Durant and his diet ISO's on the court.

    Boogie's slow ass and Durant going down was the best thing to happen to the Warriors.

    I think it was more of their attitude when KD went out of the game. The Rockets showed no sense of urgency or killer instinct. It’s like they were just playing a regular season game.

    That's on the coach. That's what he is there there for.

    But even if Rockets won game 6, winning game 7 in Oakland would have been a monumental task.

    NEWS FLASH: no one on earth is going to have GSW's talent. I guess we should forfeit all games.

    Meyers Leonard would be a good successor to Nene..... then I looked at his contract.

    You need to learn to manage your expectations given what you have and stop crying like a little girl when things dont go the way you expected them to.

    Go read your own posts about Harden after the series.

    For all his faults, Harden is still the one that has challenged Warriors the best.
