    I love MDA's post game interviews. He's just so freaking nice. I bet the reporters love to talk to him.

    Harden misses that no pass step back 3 99% of the time

    Something about GSW I haven't seen discussed anywhere... GSW can say they dont have any pressure on themselves and they "like where they're at" and not worried. However, have they really faced any REAL adversity in the Kerr era??

    For as stacked as this team has been,
    - 2015 - none of their opponents had their starting PG. Rockets were without Bev and DMo (before DMo went full r****d). In the finals, no Kyrie or Love.
    - 2016 - only year they faced adversity going down against OKC 3-1 before Durant choked, and then they choked away a 3-1 against the Cavs.
    - 2017 - Durant joins the team and only lost 1 game all playoffs and any chance at potential adversity against SA, enter Pachulia to injure Kawhi in game 1.
    - 2018 - steamrolled through the 1st 2 rounds... until NOW. Now they're going up against a team they're now 3-5 against this year.

    As stacked as this team is, as much as they bark, shimmy, etc.. do they have the mental fortitude to overcome? Just look at how games 4 and 5 ended...

    On the other hand, Harden, CP, and D'Antoni have all been through their own adversities leading up to this point. Really hoping CP's hammy is ok. Either way, gonna need Harden, EG, and the bench to step up big time!

    Forget about game 7, let's expose them for what they are (mentally weak) and just end this crap in 6!

    Her body will carry her a few more years. She’s like 23. Looking 34.

    Wouldn’t have been a crunch time if Harden even has an average game

    Just a history of lucky breaks for that team. If we finish this game healthy with CP3 I'd be laughing at all this "We like where we are" nonsense.

    It's like even if you can compete with the Warriors you'll get some major injury for them to have their way. I have no idea what this team did to get so fortunate.

    I canceled my meeting for tomorrow.

    My excuse: I’m feeling very sick.

    I hate that word so much.

    If Harden could have made some shots, CP wouldn't get hurt. Damn it.

    You gets no argument from me lol. And if our boys would've hit at least 4 more threes. It wouldn't have come down to scrapping for everything. And most importantly Paul probably wouldn't have gotten injured.

    I’d bet my last dollar they’re performing human sacrifices

    game 4 closed -8. line moved form 8.5 to 8 after iggy injury. they'll get him back for game 6, have the home elimination motivation, and cp3 injury to account for the line jump.

    Harden has tradition of playing poorly in G5 and G6.

    I start to worry next game.
