NBA 2018-2019

Just saw the predictions from the ESPN staff writers for the Warriors/Rockets series now that KD is out. Got to admit I was very, very surprised. Out of the 20 who were polled 19 still think the Dubs will win. I've got to admit I'm usually a supreme pessimist but this seems like taking optimism on the Dubs behalf to another level. Just hope they're right.

Bookies have started to correct it though , Warriors still favs as per bookies but it's coming down to 2.6 for Rockets from 3 yesterday

They are leading 3-2 and the eventual 7th game will be on Oracle. They're still favourites, but it is quite close now.
 
GSW winning the rebound battle.

Warriors leading by 3 and steph has not scored.
 
What a series. These playoffs have been amazing.

The biggest reason for that is probably Lebron not being there. Makes the east so much more wide open.
 
This game does wonders for KD's legacy. Congrats to the Warriors though. Insane team. Klay Thompson and Game 6. Gives me PTSD.
 
Let's hear it again. This is not Steph's team. 31 second half points.

Does more for Harden and CP3's legacy (good game notwithstanding, completely disappeared in crunch time).

This will go down as one of the key games in Steph's career. Showed elite championship mentality.
 
Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo! No surprise! Stephen Curry you are a beast. Thirty three second half points. Nobody ever, ever, ever better say he doesn't come up in the clutch.
 
Put some respect on the Warriors. What a performance . So many of the Steph curry haters can eat shit now
 
Was not expecting that.
i dont understand trapping curry with green as the screener. green is an excellent passer. you cant let them play 4 on 3 with the ball in his hands

Absolutely right.
 
Even though he has blocked me. If someone will reply to this so @syrian_scholes can see it I'd like to say congrats on another great year. The Rockets are a really good team.
 
Houston are one of the most aesthetically unpleasing teams to watch, no ball movement, no player movement without the ball. Just give it one person (more often Harden) and see him take a three.
 
Yes but Mike D'Antoni isn't really a coach either.

As a Suns fan who saw the 7 seconds or less era that has defined current play in the NBA, I take offense to that. D'Antoni is a visionary but Kerr is the better coach. Doesn't mean D'Antoni is bad.
 
:lol: He was insane in the last five minutes but klay came up big time too. Two key defenses and a 3 to finish it.

They needed to. Steph has had his struggles but came through in the clutch, but Klay, Draymond, Livingston, Iggy and Looney had huge moments. Steph might get the credit, but the rest carried him and kept them in it until he took over. Looney for MVP.

I don't know man, feels like he is stuck with one way to play basketball.
 
Congratulations, this was a great win. D'Antoni to be fired now surely ?
D'Antoni is forever going to be the nearly man. Always gets his teams on the cusp, but fails to get over the top. Doubt he'll get this close again, especially not with the current Rockets. They'll forever rue last season, which imo, was their best chance even with CP3 out for the end. Goes without saying, though, that losing to GS at home without KD, will also be devastating.

It's just awful, as a Warriors fan these 6 games completely drained me specially because with kd even the warriors went iso heavy .
