No kidding. I only watched this game in bits and pieces because of all the other non-competitive games. I happened to check the score and saw that Houston had stormed back late in the 4th Qtr so I was able to watch the last 4 minutes of the game.Finally a decent game.
1 more game.
Lets got Rockets!!!
I’m hoping he guts it out knowing they need him and he tweaks it in a win, causing him to miss the entire series against the Celtics.
Im guessing Paul misses game 6 so will probably be a game 7. Hopefully he can make it back for that one.
The first Rockets/Celtics finals was when where I first started watching the NBA. Hakeem has always been my favorite player and I also liked the Celtics as well. That was more of a teenage rebellion as my dad and brother were Laker fans. If they both make it I will have a nice finals to watch for sure. Will want Houston to win of course.Celtics vs Rockets? Yes, please.
I was actually going to skip this year's NBA Finals because I didn't want to sit through another Warriors-Cavs matchup. Now there's a very good chance that neither team will be making the Finals.
If he isn't 100% they aren't beating the Warriors.I’m hoping he guts it out knowing they need him and he tweaks it in a win, causing him to miss the entire series against the Celtics.
Well now he's officially scrapped for Game 6 so the result is a foregone conclusion.If he isn't 100% they aren't beating the Warriors.
They barely scraped by in these last 2 games with him playing great and the Warriors being up and down, there's no way they're pulling out a win if he's 80% or whatever.
Yea, I mean I still favor the Warriors in a game 7 assuming either Iguodala plays or Paul is somewhere around 80%.Well now he's officially scrapped for Game 6 so the result is a foregone conclusion.
Dont count them out just yet.Sucks that the Warriors are catching yet another break.
The only way I see the Rockets winning either of the final 2 games is if Harden finds his stroke again and goes crazy for 40+ points.
He's a really good regular season coach. If you have a solid roster he'll get your team to 50+ wins.
I really dont know much about D'Antoni at all but my brother (who follows the NBA much more than I do) wasnt too thrilled about the hire. Sounds like he did exactly what my brother said he would do.
So the Jason Garrett of the NBA. FMLHe's a really good regular season coach. If you have a solid roster he'll get your team to 50+ wins.
His problem is once the postseason rolls around he lacks coaching skills to get past talented teams led by upper echelon coaches.
BTW, Harden really shit the bed as well in the second half of the last two games. His final numbers look good, but he completely disappeared when his team needed him most. Unacceptable for the supposed MVP. Coming up small in the postseason is becoming his calling card.
