Harden has missed his last 20 3 point attempts and yet the Rockets have outscored the Warriors by 12 during that stretch. That is absolutely astounding.

In 7 games, assuming CP3 can play (hamstring).

Those bad shots look really bad when they're not falling.  Bottom line is guys take a lot of garbage shots these days. The stars have just gotten better at making them.  Pull up or step back shots from 35 are awful shots.  I blame it all on Curry.

I do believe Harden is, at his heart, a choker.  Golden State has just choked worse the last two games.
Yup

I found the way GS collapsed(considering their standards) in the last two games equally unbelievable

Harden does certainly have a history, dating back to OKC, of playing bad in big games. And on top of that there's Houston's big comeback against LAC a few years ago with Harden on the bench.

Gordon won the game last night. Harden was dreadful.

Rockets and Warriors both looked beatable last night. Bad shots, bad turnovers. Not even great D--plenty of the missed 3's were open.

Obviously the Celtics have stretches where they look just as bad, but last night was the first time I felt like we'd have a real chance against either of these teams.
