    I truly believe Curry missed dunk will be the turning point of the series.

    This was a masterpiece by all of them and add Shump. So proud of this resilient team! Thank you Rockets for what it’s worth!

    Congrats, breh!

    If I had not known any better, I would have thought of years of a family man with numerous kids already!

    Alas, a close but great win!

    My personal play of the game: With 7:45 left, P.J. Tucker, having been knocked on his butt 30 feet from the basket, leaps to his feet, comes flying in to the basket, and snags a board that was about to become a Warriors putback. Everyone else standing and watching, one guy giving his all to make a crucial play.

    PJ is the heart and soul of this team. The guy goes all out on every play, and refuses to be outworked by anyone. Those rebounds tonight were MAN-SIZED. We would be down 3-0 if it wasn't for PJ tonight.

    One huge positive is that Harden was hitting his floaters. Looks like he finally got over the Gobert PTSD and hopefully he looks for that shot more than the Capela lob which GSW is intent on stopping. That floater is there all game long.

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one with that feeling! What a tremendous stroke of luck. Such an easy basket keeps the Warriors in reach of a W with less than 26 seconds left...and Steph misses!

    Tucker has been pretty much the MVP of this series for the Rockets, being our most effective defender against KD and securing clutch rebounds. Him and Curry sitting on the bench at the start of the 4th was what allowed KD to go off.

    The Warriors rage quitting after that was pretty amazing as well.

    Harden had that Bounce in his step tonight.

    That’s the harden that I like to see and this team needs.

    When he’s bouncing with that dribble and aggressive, he’s unstoppable.

    Gordon is legit our 2nd best player he needs the ball more than anyone but harden. He’s just a really good offensive player and I love that he’s taking it to the hoop like he is. I think those drives actually make him a better shooter from three it gets him in rhythm.

    Cp3, I need more shots bro and whatever u we’re trying to do to end the 4th was dumb. Should have been in hardens hands anyways but still your tiny pull up for the stop and pop I don’t know why he was trying to go all the way to the cup with a guy 7 inches taller that him on his hip.

    Clint was better.... still needs to improve a lot tho.

    Green shouldn’t play anymore nor should house.

    Rivers shumpart and nene are the only guys that need to be coming in off the bench.

    Had rivers player game one I think we’re up 2-1 not the other way.

    Either way this whole series has been close every game has been in Finger’s reach for both teams so I’d imagine both teams will
    Have a chance to win game 4 and everything after that.

    But if we get this harden we will win the rest of the team feeds off his aggressive play.

    And tuck is a dawg if he can stay out or foul trouble kd wouldn’t be an issue.

    I just want to say, shout out to Nene this series man. He's been productive every single minute hes been on the court, if he was likes 3 years younger maaaaaaan.

    Also shout out to Clint for his bounce back game.
