    It's no shame to say that. If you are not a Rockets fan it's hard to like this team.

    No one can score outside the trio of Kawhi/Siakam/Lowry.

    Who would have thought Lopez would be the leading scorer with Middleton and Bledsoe scoring single digit points?

    Which is why I favor the Bucks to win.

    IN addition, Lowry has been hot this game but there will be a number of games where he will be cold.

    It puts a lot of pressure on Kawhi to score on this Bucks defense and win.

    To think the Lakers wouldn't even play Lopez, didn't want him back, and chose to surround LeBron with utter garbage.

    Thanks to Magic Johnson's genius. :D

    Lopez carrying the bucks. Best player by far this game. Imagine if rockets had someone to take the pressure off harden. Got 250m tied in useless crap lol. Houston rockets are a loser team let harden play with some real players please u ain’t winning anyways don’t ruin his career too.

    If Harden doesnt score against this Bucks defense = choke.

    If Kawhi doesnt score against this Bucks defense = fatigue.

    Despite Kawhi resting for a number of games all season.

    Why dont same people that criticize Harden ask where Kawhi was in the 4th, instead of giving him a free pass?

    It's not easy scoring against the #1 defense, is it?

    Very winnable game for Toronto. They're going to kick themselves when they look back at game tape, decisions, etc. Wasted the best game of the playoffs so far, for Lowry.

    I agree for most other guys but for Kawhi he already has a championship and a FMVP, if anyone deserves benefit of the doubt it's him.

    Who would have thunk that Brook Lopez could out score Giannis?

    Not as the one leading the team.

    I am not criticizing Kawhi btw. I am a Kawhi fan.

    I am just pointing out the bias against Harden.

    Look for KellerMan to make excuses for his BFs kawhi and Giannis. Between their set of balls he cant rest that tongue of his this series.

    Why goes for a two when you are down by 8 points with 25 seconds left?

    Bucks didnt particularly shoot the 3 all that well this game and they won despite Lowry being on fire. Lowry is not going to be shooting like this the entire series.

    In order for Raptors to win Kawhi has to score in bunches against this tough Bucks defense.

    This.

    Kawhi disappeared for the entire 4th quarter.

    Giannis was ineffective all game, got his ass saved by Lopez.

    But yeah Harden is the real choker. :rolleyes:

    I can't wait for both of these fools try to take on the Warriors and get swept when Durant returns, then be told by the media that somehow the East tried their best.
