    Surprised the NBA hasn't used backchannels to get this banned.

    All I hear is James Harden is the only player who flops.

    I don;t this really applies for this year's warriors. This is when Jackson was head coach.

    My Warriors in 6 prediction still looks good. Curry's found his groove, and they've got momentum. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes to 7 games though.

    Lots of salt here

    Steph Curry is a better player than Harden currently, a tad better. Get over it.

    i saw the game yesterday. The refs gifted this game to GS. Memphis was getting hammered each time they went to the paint and nothing was being called. Flamingo Curry was running around carrying and traveling and nothing was called.

    Lol i didn't see any ref bias at all. Give them some freaking credit. The Warriors adjusted.

    i saw gasol shoved and randolph close-lined in a matter of 2 minutes. That sparked the separation. Im not going to give credit to GS for tying the seriers when the refs clearly helped them.

    If there was any "ref bias" it was that they were calling the game closer and not letting the Grizz get away with their physical style of play. Figures that Tony Allen was a nonfactor, eh?

    That was bound to happen eventually.

    Yes. By the playoffs it was too late. But Kerr and his coaching staff would probably have found a scheme that works for rockets (the same way motion offense does for GS). So that by the playoffs they were a more smoothly running disciplined machine. We know the Rockets have a lethal pnr with Dwight and Harden - we know there are things they do that work - but it seems a matter of chance whether we see them.

    It's so frustrating to waste these years ...

    Tony Allen only played 16 minutes or so. They had to take him out because of GS's defensive adjustment of basically letting him do whatever he wanted on perimeter on offense. and essentially playing 5 on 4 on rest of Grizz
