    You talk as if Harden had beaten the Warriors. But no, Harden and the Rockets got dominated.

    plus/ minus is not a useless stat all great players that positively impact the game have great plus minus stats.. if you are scoring, but giving it back on the other end. plus minus reflects that

    because harden had an old cp3( who got injured) and he was going up againist durant, green, and klay thompson. what did steph curry do this year without a stacked roster. i bet harden and lillard would have had this years warriors team in the playoffs

    harden is looking better next to a post achilles kd than steph curry looked with a fully healthy kd lol

    Harden's Rockets pushed the Warriors to the limit their last two playoff series encounters and never got swept in the first two where they were outmatched. Dame couldn't even beat the Warriors once.

    CJ Urkel let Dame down tonight

    Why are y’all b****ing about Harden? We know he can carry a team to wins. If you deny it at this point, you’re just phucking dumb.

    Chris Paul’s Rockets. Harden without Chris Paul: 4-14 against the Warriors.

    someone on reddit said they calculated it (so take that for what it's worth) and it will be the playoff record for game score and 5th highest ever when including the regular season. 55 on insane efficiency with 10 assists.

    can't believe the 3 straight 3's in OT. you expected them to go in but you kept thinking "they can't really go in, can they?" and they always did. bad job of denver to not double in OT. you can't watch the same thing happen over and over. make someone else make a 3.

    But not 0, which is what Dame is against the Warriors.

    I'd like to see the 4 higher gm scores. 55 points on 97% TS 10 assists 6 Reb 3 blks and only 1 TO is insane.

    It won't be the greatest playoff performance since it was first round... But damn it was nice.

    Ironically the one he missed in OT (where rivers thank God) was the easiest. He had an open look from 24 ft off the pick and roll.
