So what do you do if you're Golden State and Curry is still borderline on Sunday?
I'd still sit him because I like chances to win game 4 without him. Also, if you put him in and he reinjures the ankle, he will be more likely to be affected seriously into the next series. Even worse, if you lose game 4, he may not be able to play the rest of the series and if Houston plays out of their mind, you could lose.
I'd fly him back to GS for treatment and get him ready for game 5.
Agree. Sit him for Game4 unless he's really ready to go. GS shot horribly (for them) and still almost won. So, if you're Kerr you like your chances to get game4 without Curry.

This is one of those rare moments when the entire basketball other board are rooting for the rockets. This is weird but I like it. We won't let y'all down
The one AND ONLY thing the Rockets have done consistently this year is let people down.
Watch above dwight's head...
Looks like some dudes who don't like Harden.
Dudes that are benched
It could be that they hate Harden and wanted to lose, but I don't think so.
I didn't cheer after that bucket either because of two reasons: 1) They just stupidly threw the ball away almost costing them the game, that shot made up for that mistake...it didnt push us forward 2) There was still enough time on the clock for the Rockets to choke the game away. For 82 games this team has proven that no lead is safe, no matter how large, and how little time left on the clock. After that play, Harden jogged off beating his chest and celebrating. Once he saw his teammates he actually immediately refocused and got moved on to setting a defense. Maybe that was a good thing...
These guys lost a 17 point lead at home to a team that didn't have it's best player. Im glad they didn't celebrate too much. That haven't really accomplished ****.

How do we **** up two inbounds plays in the last 15 seconds?!?!? Why was that ball ever thrown in the backcourt at the last second. Good lord.
I'm sure this was already discussed.

Is it possible to hire JVG today and have him for the playoffs?

quote:As they should. Everybody at Toyota Center knew the game was lopsided from an officiating standpoint in favor of the Warriors. The free throw discrepancy loomed large and only looked a little bit tighter due to two intentional fouls on Howard, and then the one on Beasley at the end of the game. They were getting away with the same **** as usual, and I lost count of how many charges they drew. The and-1 for Harden that got waived off took the cake in the 2nd quarter. I am glad the front office, coaches, and players are at least speaking up about it.
HOUSTON -- The Rockets' front office, while happy the team beat the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 on Thursday night, had some strong comments on social media about the officiating and criticism from former Rockets player and current TNT analystCharles Barkley.
Oh, and Barkley is and always will be an a**hole
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andrew Bogut, and Andre Iguodala act like they never commit a foul....yet complain about every touch (especially Iguodala).
The refs will not call the illegal screens and the stuff Green and Bogut get away with under the basket is amazing.

Bogut gets away with murder on screens and away from the ball. He grabs the help defender to keep him from getting across to help position constantly.

And then flops like a beetch when he gets barely touched
While we are beotching about the Warriors not getting called for anything, the one thing that has stuck out to me the last 3 times the Spurs have played GS is how blatently Curry shoves Parker with his left hand before jacking up one his 3s. It's going to madden me if/when they meet in the WCF.

Sounds good to me. Then you guys can dispatch the Clippers in Round 2 and then we can let the hate start flowing again on this board.

I can't stand Green for this exact reason. He absolutely bludgeons people under the rim and rarely gets called for it.
NBA came out and said Harden's shot should not have counted because he initiated contact. Nevermind the multitude of calls/no calls that went in Golden State's favor, apparently the Warriors were cheated last night

What does this accomplish?

It is supposed to be in the name of transparency after the Tim Donaghy incident.
I loved checking the 2-minute report last year to confirm that Z-Bo fouled Harden at the end of the game and didn't get the call. It was the ultimate "Yea I know I F'd up, but I am not going to do anything about it" from the league. And really thats all this report is.
Im now 1-0 lifetime at Toyota Center after Thursdays game
Well, get your ass there tomorrow.

You're probably the only one here that still has a perfect record so you're gonna have to be the one to go
Mines probably under .500. Got to watch us beat down the Mavs last year though.
Spurs/grizz game going long
There isn't much worse than bandwagon Warriors fans.
**** it! Rockets in 6
Dwight got a haircut. He's going to play well
Boom! 12-2 run ends the 1st
WET!
