Rockets-Celtics finals

We're almost there

Not if CP3 is a no go in game 6.

this will go 7.
I mean it should, but the Rockets should have beaten the Spurs in game 6 who were without Kawhi last year too.

GS on the ropes with that team. Pretty laughable if you think about.

They seem to be abit of a front running team/chokers...when they are blowing out teams and rolling over them its all good. But get hit in the mouth and teams play a little physical with them and they falter.

But its not necessarily surprising. Warriors/Durant blew 3-1 leads. and Durant basically came to the warriors so it would be "easier" for him.

Celtics could actually win the championship this season. That is beyond insane
Exactly my thought watching tonight's game - and the first time I've ever considered it.

I’m just asking the question, no implication implied. Simmons has said several times that had the Warriors won the title in 2016, Durant WOULD NOT have gone there. I trust Simmons on this as he appears to have a tremendous rapport with Durant. So I just wonder if them being “unneeded additions”, in a sense, hurts their markability and legacy.

League is thinking both Rockets and GS are vulnerable. And for this reason the NBA will try its best to give Lebron all it can to "assist" him in making the Finals.

the only way we can prevent that is if we shoot lights out, blow them off the water and prevent the likes of Tony Brothers in making calls that will help LeWhine advance specially in game 7.

Gotta be pretty bad for him not to even make an effort to get back on defense. Hopefully just a mild strain though, I believe the Celtics matchup far better against Houston.

Just looking at facial reaction after he did it I'd say he's done for the series.

Sadly, I can't rule this out as a possibility. Ugh.

Kind of reminiscent of Showtime and Jordan's Bulls, imo. They looked invincible whenever they were destroying their competition, but in close games their record left much to be desired, at the very least. Just look at the 1998 ECF.

Hard to say, but it did look like he was trying very hard not to let on how bad it was hurting.
