LOL what in the F is GS doing?? They had a timeout left, and they settled for that crap??  :o

That very well might've just cost them this series. My God, just dumb, dumb basketball...

EDIT: Yeah, Reggie, that bogus shot was CLEARLY better than them calling a timeout and setting something up for two of the top iso players and shooters in the league  ::)

What ugly offense by GS. All they do is throw up 3s. Curry looked awful. Good. Let it go 7.

Kerr should have called time out once he saw that possession falling apart.

So what do we think happens in Game 4 tonight between Houston-Golden State? Golden State takes care of business in easy fashion, or Houston shows tremendous fight to even this series up?

A lot of reputations are honestly on the line here. If Harden has a dud tonight in a game where the Rockets need him the most, then he'll just forever be known as a choker. Same with CP3. And D'Antoni saying "the pressure is on the Warriors" LOL. As long as Houston's offense relies on your iso-ball, Golden State wins big.

That said, for some reason, I think Houston will actually shock a lot of people tonight. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they did lose by 10+, but it just feels like it especially when you hear the media and almost everyone just automatically assume it's 3-1 Warriors right now.

It will take herculean efforts from Harden and CP3 though, and their role players will have to shoot extremely well too (like in Game 2). However, if Curry goes off again, there's nothing much HOU can do, but I think they actually do a better job on Curry tonight.

Prediction: Rockets win a thriller at Oracle Arena, 108-105, to even up the series.

BOOM!!!

WHAT DID I TELL YOU ALL!!!  ;D

I doubt it'll cost them the series--they're still a much better team.  But Durant's fourth quarter shot selection was shockingly bad.  It was comparable to Gerald Green's at the beginning of the quarter, and only got worse after Green was yanked.

Lol I can't believe Steph missed that. Somehow got a wide open corner three and couldn't put it in.

Man, GS just gave up that game. Could be very, very costly for them.

Didn’t get it off in time anyway. I watched frame by frame.

Hey, I thought GS would win in 6 pretty convincingly, but I'm all for Houston winning this. We have a legit shot of beating them in the Finals, so Houston can prove me wrong for all I care.

That's as far as Rockets will go in terms of winning. Kevin Durant will be exploding in Game 5.

Come on man you know better. Our series is FAR from over.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Game 5 tomorrow night but also super nervous about it lol.
