By Trey Go To Postboy please, Warriors finna rain threes like Harden rains crusty bands on strippers and escorts.Klay usually plays like shit against us, plus we would have Ariza on him for a entire series, not Harden. We'll hide him on Barnes most likely.
Even if Curry/Klay get all the points they want, I don't see anyone outside of Iggy being too much trouble.
By Colonel Nasty Go To PostHey fuck you guys for not mentioning meIf you're a Rockets fan, silly you for that bump.
By Vahagn Go To PostRBK - you're one game away from picking my avatar for the year. In no way did I expect this, but congrats on kinda sorta being right.
On another note, to rockets fans complaining about "no one picked us". That's just cuz everyone hates your team and harden and Howard. Not because we thought having HCA and CP3 missing two games and hobbled for another 3 was a recipe for clippers success. Based on the way the chips fell, this should have been a sweep or a 5 gamer at the most. But Harden and Howard had to predictably play like ass and McHale had to be thoroughly out coached for the the first 90% of the series to end up where we are.
That's why this McHale praise is rich. You needed to come to 7 games against a team that was effectively starting Austin Rivers at PG for 4 games and your coach couldn't figure out a way for Harden and Howard to be effective all series, but a monumental collapse and Josh Smith nailing step back 3's and all of a sudden McHale is out coaching Doc? The shit is this?
The only people who say this are people who do not watch Rockets and Clippers matchups. The Rockets had lost like 10 in a row to the Clippers before the last two regular season games. Statistically they are Harden's achilles and have been since he came here 3 years ago. No Rockets fan would have picked this series in 5.
I agree on their play and coaching though.
By The Frankman Go To PostOver/under 5.5 flops for Harden where afterwards he's mad he didn't get a foul call?Under.
It's a home game idiot.
By RBK Go To PostUnder.You act like it matters. Cute.

Did the playoffs end already or something?

Aye Moris, do you want to discuss how the Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals was one of the worst officiated games of all-time?
By RBK Go To PostAye Moris, do you want to discuss how the Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals was one of the worst officiated games of all-time?Or those Celtics got away with tons of fouls through-out the season/playoffs and didn't get away with it when it mattered most.
When was the last time you saw it?
Damn Lakers fans stay lying. They let them play for 3 quarters...that 4th came and it was whistle galore.
I remember it vividly because I only watched it live.

Watch it again, your salt is fucking with you.
I'm watching it right now and there was like....one bad call 9 minutes through the 4th. When Pau tried to do the arm sweep on KG and that was like 50/50.

The overwhelming fact is in the playoffs calls he'd get in the regular season he won't get as much now. We've seen that be a trend in the postseason, unless you think JJ Redick is a lockdown defender.

Happened in the regular season as well.
Add Frankman to my idiot list.
Plus I'm pretty sure Harden was close to his season average in the Dallas series as well.

Made this point weeks ago and posters laughed it off.
Harden's FT attempts in the playoffs are just about his regular season average.
The problem is the inconsistency. He has games where he gets 17, 15 and 13 FT attempts and games where he gets 8,7,6,6,5,5 FTAs.
Houston is 4-1 when Harden gets 10+ FTAs and 3-3 when he gets less than 10.

By db Go To PostMade this point weeks ago and posters laughed it off.We laughed it off because your argument amounted to a .9 FTA difference.
Are you for real RBK? Your reply to me last night was to shut up and stop picking on McHale and now telling me to stop posting long replies to you. It's kinda hilarious considering the fact I don't think you know how to respond to them in a civil manner and if we total your massive amount of bs posts in this whole forum it would surpass a few of my long posts.
You're basically a Clutchfans poster to me here. You actually make me want the Rockets to lose when I see your posts just so you will shut up once and for all about them.
That's saying something, cause that's one of the reasons why I don't post there anymore.

By Moris Go To PostHarden's FT attempts in the playoffs are just about his regular season average.Which coincide with certain ref assignments in all probability. Look, we all know there are the playoff games that suddenly refs decided to call tons of FTs... My question is his FT rate mirrored with his usage rate... I mean he handles the rock or is involved in an almost Westbrookian level of plays despite the team being pretty healthy. If he doesn't get to the line an absurd number of times and those flops turn into turnovers/fast breaks for the other team/dead possessions... what the fuck can Houston do? He has to look to play a more normal game and if the Clips are in the penalty, THEN do his Flop City act.
The problem is the inconsistency. He has games where he gets 17, 15 and 13 FT attempts and games where he gets 7, 6,6,5 FTAs.
Houston is 4-1 when Harden gets 10+ FTAs and 3-3 when he gets less than 10.

By RBK Go To PostFirst thing, stop posting essays on here.
When I say everyone, I mean everyone. Overcast is definitely one, Cheezyman/Crud, the frequent Rockets posters on GAF because Smokey, Matrix, Vyer, whoever else weren't.
Once we drew Dallas, it was a wrap.
Give me proof of all of us saying we were first round fodder before we drew the Mavs. I never saw it here and I stopped looking at GAF NBA threads. You said all of Rockets-age said we were done in the first round before we even drew an opponent, again that didn't happen.
Crud said we were first round fodder? I don't think I have ever seen him post anything negative.
By db Go To PostNo 20+ fta games?Well he only had 4 of those out of 81 regular season games.
By RBK Go To PostSo you're agruing the FTA discrepancy is consistent regardless of regular/post season?
Quit whining.
Quit being a jinxing bitch posting shit that makes no sense at all. Where the hell did you come from anyway? I don't even recall you from GAF.
By psychintellect Go To PostWell he only had 4 of those out of 81 regular season games.
It was more than once.
By db Go To PostIt was more than once.I don't follow?
We all have our flaws. People hate a guy who has dropped nothing but truth bombs since Day 1 while the rest of SL&ENT have taken mighty Ls in the process.
At the same time, Matrix pulls off the act of being "rational", yet constantly bitches about "McFail" and won't even credit him for key wins, says Rockets fans "move on" and contradicts himself days later, and truth be told, the majority of his posts here are the equivalent of of the Game threads on ClutchFans: constant knee-jerk responses for every unsuccessful play. Yet I'm not allowe to be happy for the comeback because of "jinxes" and attempts of saving face because he would much rather be right of McHale than actually seeing a title.

The Utah road loss I believe I know is one where people were constantly whining about "this team isn't serious".
Crud said we were first round fodder? I don't think I have ever seen him post anything negative.
No, I'm not going to search to 100s of pages to find quotes. I'm at work.
By matrixHarGod Go To PostQuit being a jinxing bitch posting shit that makes no sense at all. Where the hell did you come from anyway? I don't even recall you from GAF.I only posted on GAF for like 5-6 months before I "account suicide" back in April I believe.
By RBK Go To PostSo you're agruing the FTA discrepancy is consistent regardless of regular/post season?Not aruging anything just observing, chit chatting. Not everything is an argument main.
Quit whining.
What's interesting is that if you look at Harden's abilitiy to get tons of FTs in the regular season, Harden got over 10FTAs 39 times.
Let's take a look at who those teams were:
Charlotte
OKC
Dallas
Sac
Toronto
Washington
Minny
Indiana
Denver
Orlando
Clips
Utah
Denver
Detroit
Cleveland
Clips
Minny
Toronto
Dallas
Suns
Portland
Milwaukee
LA
Suns
GS
Indiana
Utah
Memphis
Portland
Denver
Sac
Minny
Milwaukee
Dallas
LA
Miami
Philly
Boston
LAL
It's almost like he pads his FTA stat against losing teams, he's obviously capable of doing it against winning clubs but POR, MEM and CLE are about the only winning squads on that list who have a good defender at the 2 spot.
Klay Thompson isn't a good defender?
It's a good observation, but you're kind of looking too deep into when really the bad teams are bad for a reason. If he's getting 20 FTA attempts against a shit team like the Hornets, is it really surprising?

Wow your longest post ever.
Stop talking about yourself with this truth bomb bs and L's. Like you predicted that last W down 19 and the Rockets doing it with Harden on the bench.
No you just summed up the majority of Houston sports fans who have been burned their whole life. Mcfail is a shit coach.... fact. Who in their right mind would have expected Smith to hit those clutch 3's in the 4th? Truthfully. I'm not giving him credit for jack shit other than him sitting an ill and off Harden, which took some balls. Congrats to him for making up for almost fucking us over in the first half with his hack a DJ.
I'd rather be right about McHale than see a title? God damn... you're fucking hilarious.
By RBK Go To PostRockets can take the L on Sunday too, CP3 has my back guys.lol you shook. Actively rooting for your team to lose so you won't have to risk wearing my avatar smh.
By Forever Go To Postlol you shook. Actively rooting for your team to lose so you won't have to risk wearing my avatar smh.What?
In the rare chance the Rockets lose, the Clippers, not the Warriors will go to the Finals. I don't know where you got that I want the Rockets to lose from that.
I don't care that much about you or the bet. Vahagn is a whole different story.
By RBK Go To PostI only posted on GAF for like 5-6 months before I "account suicide" back in April I believe.
Well that explains why I have never seen your posts before. You must love it here.
By Forever Go To PostAdmitting to caring about Vag is possibly an even bigger L.
lmao
By matrixHarGod Go To PostWell that explains why I have never seen your posts before. You must love it here.Well Moris invited me. GAF moderation is terrible.
By Forever Go To PostAdmitting to caring about Vag is possibly an even bigger L.Vag talks more shit than he could actually back up.
Your bet came out of nowhere. We don't have no long standing feud plus who cares about the Brooklyn Nets?
By RBK Go To PostWell Moris invited me. GAF moderation is terrible.
That I do agree with you on.
By RBK Go To PostVag talks more shit than he could actually back up.lol plz you're new here so you have an excuse but I'm just letting you know that to everyone else a feud with Vag looks hilarious.
