Yeah 8-31 was a massive hole, and I knew of all the injuries, Quickley just got back and is on limited minutes, I think this is the first time the last 2 games with their full rotation, all of a sudde

Cool - that's reasonable enough.  However, after seeing the G-League lineup they played last night, I think I better wait until the start of the next season to go...

It might be the most shocking trade I've ever seen. Superstar for superstar and it came out of absolutely nowhere.

Some of the calls in this Golden State / Houston game have been absolutely brutal. Finally there's an actual game going on at least.

 

If James was 4 for 16 in these playoffs, Cavs would be down by 30. He’s the real MVP in literal sense of the word

This is a good stat

 

of the 56 playoff games so far in the NBA

 

when a team built a 20-point first quarter lead, 46 times so far, they always won the game

 

46 of the 56 playoff games this year have resulted in 20 pt 1st qtr leads? Ok..........

Celtics cruised to a comfortable loss, giving half a s*** with game 7 on the horizon. Fun game to watch anyways.

 

This can backfire, Dantley got a concussion and the Microwave had to sit for most of a game 7 for the Bad Boys, costing them a series when they were a much better team than the Celtics in 1987. Should have swept Boston....

Sorry for giving you hard time before. Didn’t know where those opinions were coming from but then I read about how you were going through a rough time:

Hope you guys can work it out and you figure out a quick next step

Chris Paul out for game 6.

 

That take the honest effort of Houston from 25 percent to barely caring at all tonight

 

Shocking!!!!

The best howler is the announcer start telling us that Tatum has great stats during wins and bad stats during losses.

 

No guff.

The fix was on. The NBA wants a Game 7 for each series, especially with those big names.

 

Lol. Ok onwego.

 

So the be clear, Houston must’ve been in on it to lay down and get clobbered by 30? If so, I’m just wondering how that goes down? The owners pass it down to coaches and then they break news to players in the pre-game?

Coming off the Alex Jones stuff.. has there ever been an advance statistics attempt to quantify home field/court advantage?

 

Pretty crazy how that works out. I guess not crazy but just not something you can quantify. It’s obviously been the entire difference in East. The best way I’ve heard it described is the role players particularly seem to play much better at home.

Sure. James Harden probably had his friends drop huge bones on the game in Vegas by telling them we're not showing up tonight, so bet against us.

 

lol I'm busting everyone's chops.

 

Though I'm sure regardless every league, whether the NBA, NHL, or MLB, they all want a Game 7 because of the money.

Lol. I really thought you meant it. People really do think that way. I can understand maybe a whistle here or there that you could debate but when you talk about a team not showing up it gets Alex Jonesy pretty quick.

 

Definitely the NBA has made out big time but it was only one year ago when both teams cake walked to finals

Both semi finals were very evenly matched this year, they had a gentleman’s agreement to let the early dominant team win each of the first 6 and give us a game 7

Like with the Han Solo movie, I think people have some Warrior fatigue. Ratings will prob be better if Houston wins. LeBron is like the Yankees in that you either watch him cause you like him or watch him cause you hate him, so he never gets old

He’s Mike Trout x 4.

 

No.

 

You’ll appreciate him when he’s done playing

 

I do appreciate him, I just want the f***ing Raptors to have a modicum of playoff success for once.
