I did not either. Even when Green held his position and they called blocking foul on him.

There are mistakes and pure absolute garbage refereeing and I know the difference.
Green was greeting the guy 'Wakanda forever' o and the referee called that a blocking Fowl

Durant got hot. If harden had not taken a hit in the first q, momentum does not switch the way it did. Most of rockets shooters were cold. Any 2 of these 3 go our way next game, and we have a shot

I feel you but I don't like that angle. Harden was hot as well and you are playing a warriors team that hardly gets carried away with a win in a 7 game series. Remember they've been here before

I pray the players do not listen to any commentators or analysts saying rubbish about the series. It will give a false sense of security. I don't want another GSW-OKC series abeg.

It will be a lot harder in game 2. They will double team KD on each possession and it may get to his head.

We would need more offence from Curry to stand a chance but we can leverage on Harden going to mean because he has not shot this well from 3 all playoffs long save today.

Everything we do is predicated on good D but we need way better rebounding next time out. I think they edged it and on some other day it could bite us if they can attempt another 3 from such possessions.

Capela to me is key to their game. How to get him in foul trouble will be very important. Harden should keep being made to play D so his core and leg strength will give way.

Harden should not be that accurate from 3.

Draymond Green is an All Star. Now people can see why he made it.

I have a feeling the warriors will be coming for the jugular in game 2. They can smell blood already.
And oh doubling Durant is suicidal when you have roaming klay & curry who won't make only one three point t in subsequent games.

They will double him. That is what they will do.

Today they hedged on Curry and perhaps without KD we might have lost. But Curry was eating close to the rim which was useful as it will change the way they guard him.

The greatest problem was rebounding. Rockets outrebounded GSW in dangerous ways.

They had 17/32 from the paint while GSW had 15/17. I don't like those extra 15 possessions they had at all.

I am just satisfied with the knowledge that his legacy will never recover from that move no matter how many rings he wins. I'm just satisfied knowing with KD there wardell will never win finals MVP.

I celebrate the little victories.

Don't celebrate too soon.

Curry was arse against Celts in game 1 of regular season. 49 game 2.

Please let us not go over this again.

Even this very season Bron was trying to recreate a super team.

I don't know how you cannot see that if Bron is the best ever player that ever was...then you cannot complain if overachieving ninnies form a team to beat him especially when 3 of those players were DRAFTED.

We drafted Curry..Klay and Draymond.

You people keep forgetting.

Well that's the problem. If they are hell bent on putting KD off by double teaming him, then Curry will go off.

grin I hope you know Durant can easily get 7-8 assist ? Doubling him will lead to so many open shots,that curry may get red hot?


By the way, i always knew klay would be the major x factor in this series because of harden's sloppiness on defense. Durant and curry will always get theirs but if Klay keeps hitting 5-6 uncontested threes per game, this series will be over fast..

Y'all seen when Coach Kerr was giving some words of encouragement to Curry during the game,telling him he will get his rhythm back...
Am not a Warriors fan but that was brilliant from Kerr...Guess why the Warriors are not just champions for nothing......

Color me surprised.

Everyone was yapping about Pheonix deserving a number one pick and now.. they have it..just like Orlando did in 92 or Knicks did in the 80s when Shaq and Ewing were available.

Bron is hitting rhythm 3s


But it appears he has conceded that he won't be driving any how against these lengthy athletic defenders or is he saving energy for the 4th?
