    The Warriors shot the same FG percentage in game 3 & 4, same number of steals, and same point totals. Almost literally the only difference was the Rockets were on fire and made shots.

    It is really lack of effort or is it just shots not falling?

    We've been trying to beat teams with offense all post-season long, so while defense has been alright in some games, it has not produced most of our wins.

    So, the Rockets got the Warriors best, while the Warriors got the Rockets worst? Maybe the Rockets will get the Warriors worst next game. You never know.

    Breen called Beard "Curry" about three times at the end of the game, like his mind couldn't process anyone but Curry dominating the game.

    Josh played horribly by the way, even though he made his shots, they were horrible, early in the shot clock and he thought after that he was a star.

    I was at the game and I think I saw him do it on his first made shot.

    Jones has gotten criticism from me, even though I like him. He is an up and down player, but I am glad that he had a pretty good game. He is playing better than Brewer in this series.

    Let's hope for a solid team effort in Game 5.

    It was fun to watch this "historic" team squirm at the end and resort to the Hack A strategy.

    We are in their heads. Need to keep being physical. No easy buckets.

    Smash gas!

    If brewer comes correct next game, we have a great chance. Just worried the NBA will screw us with a Howard suspension

    I'm not too worried about that. They would get a ridiculous amount of back lash for that. They would be gift wrapping a finals berth for GSW

    How convenient to leave off assist and rebound per game.

    ESPN :rolleyes:

    Mike and Mike just said harden had the most efficient postseason game ever. They substantiated this claim with two metrics:
    One, was the fact that only three players in post-season history have had 45+ points on 22 or fewer attempts. However, when Jordan (89) and Dirk (11) did it, they both had ~23 free throws, while Harden was 12/13.
    The next stat they had was their productivity rating. Harden had a 41 on their scale, the highest in the last three post-seasons, while the average is about a 10. Not really sure what they take into account here, but it was noteworthy for sure.
    I'm sure that their statement here is a little exaggerated, and may even be slightly for the viewers, but I didn't realize how good of a game Harden really had.

    Mike Breen's bias is starting to annoy me. I can live with biased colour commentators but NOT with a play-by-play guy.

    Let me guess without looking at the stats: Harden's assists and rebounds blow out Curry's.

    Harden: 6.8 Assist / 8.3 Reb / 2.3 Stl
    Curry: 5.5 Assist / 3.8 Reb / 1.3 Stl

    Funny, I thought greatness spoke for itself..what are they afraid of? That people will think Harden has been outplaying Vurry?

    One is being guarded by one of the better defenders in this league, and the other one is mostly being guarded by probably one of the worst at his late stage of his career. I really wish we had Beverley to see how well we could manage Curry.
