    They're desperate to fill time on their shows. The Jazz didn't expose anything. Harden shot fine. He and his teammates were lackadaisical and got outhustled. That's not exposing the Rockets. It's outplaying them.

    BTW, Kellerman. You know why the "play Harden's left hand" defense works for the Jazz(well, relatively speaking)? It's because they're funneling him to Rudy Gobert in the paint. The Warriors don't have a defensive player like that.

    they exposed rockets offense in general.

    we live by 3pt line. so the best antidote for that is force rockets to drive to the basket and close passing lanes and let Gober do the rest.

    we're doomed!

    lol dude relax. we're up 3-1. Literally nobody is on the Jazz's side thinking they are going to come back or even have a remote chance of winning. You folks just flip out after a loss.

    Unless there is a monumental collapse, this series was over once Rockets went up 3-0.

    It isnt this series I am worried about, its the next.

    We needed to wrap it up to get some rest and recharge before the next series.

    Unfortunately it looks like Warriors will have that advantage as well.

    Wasted opportunity.

    Series was over before it started. They won an elimination game at home. Big deal. Rockets will beat the brakes off these mofos game 5.

    Don't we both play game 5 on Wednesday? If so then we'll both get the same number of days of rest. At least they won't have more days than we do, but it would've been nice for CP to be a bit more rested.

    This idiot talks like every other star players doesn't have bad games in the playoff.
    What makes the warriros so good is there are 4 star players & a former all star player coming off the bench on their team.
    They're so good that most of the time they usually get 1 on 1 coverage because teams couldn't afford to double team a specific player & leave another open. And thats what makes them so efficient because star players feast on 1vs1.
    And if one of those ****ers are off they can still easily win the game because there are 3 other star players. and it's just something that isn't talk about because they're winning games over all.

    Can't stand how these idiots calls Harden a choker when it has always been just Harden that brought the team to the playoff & if it wasnt' for him there wont be any playoff.
    And when you play a 7 games series of course he'll have a bad game & opposing team has 7 other chances to mod their defensive strategy against him.

    Very true. Curry and Klay have off games but they're rarely losses because someone else is having a good game.

    Kellerman doesn't really know anything about basketball. He doesn't even watch a lot of what he discusses.

    He is a boxing guy.... problem is that being a boxing guy only doesn't pay the bills and boxing just doesn't matter anymore.

    So that shove him opposite Stephen "Money Maker" Smith to be the foil.

    So who really gives a **** what a boxing expert thinks about a basketball team that he has seen play maybe 5 times all year?

    I don't..... at least Stephen "Hairdresser" Smith watches the NBA when he isn't counting his money.

    yea, the series is over for us if Capela plays any worse from the sickness and passes it on to our own players somehow.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Jazz fans put some **** in Capela's food to **** us over.

    The series is over when the Warriors is in the same bracket as the Rockets. NBA wants a Rockets and Warriors series, they know it because outside Mormon country who wants to watch Jazz vs. Warriors?!?!?!?!?!? The refs will be on our side for the rest of the series unless in Utah.

    James Harden is not that dude. Lets all face the music. James Harden... is not that dude. You know who is? Chris Paul. Give this guy the ball down the stretch. Harden... go stand in the ****ing corner and let Chris Paul go to work. Please for the love of god, let the greatest point guard of our generation carry you to the promise land.

    The writers are desperate

    Max and Stephen A are making like 10-15 million a year off people watching the show and people reposting their videos on youtube

    they are living the easy life

    Yes, both teams play Wednesday night, but we could have had the additional 2 days of rest before traveling to Oakland to start the next round.

    Not really sure what they were even talking about. Harden's play doesn't really have anything to do with much of anything.

    What happened in games 3 and 4 is that the Rockets lost the ability to suck in the defense when Harden goes right and goes in the paint to either get open shots or dunks from Capela. Harden was masterful in games 1 and 2 because of this even without huge Harden like regular season scoring numbers.

    The Jazz also had to play the most insane defense sustained for two games that I've ever witnessed. To be able to give Harden an open driving lane and still have the quickness and size to cover the gaps he'll find for open shots or dunks..... is quite impressive honestly. Few teams have that ability to give up a lane to the basket with the ability to still guard a purposefully broken defense. The Warriors will not have that kind of defense unless Bogut can play up to the level of Gobert as a rim protector.

    The Jazz STILL lost game three though even with this incredible defensive ability employed. However.... the Jazz are a different team at home so we'll see if they can still keep it up another 3 games in a row.... 2 of which aren't in Utah.
