Give Curry credit, he was a good sport about it. After the game he said if you’re good with shimmying, then you’re good with getting shimmied on. He also praised Paul’s performance. |

Damn shame, I liked Chris Paul for a hot minute there. He looks like he should have twirling pasties. How do you know what's under that jersey? |

Damn Houston! Didn't think you had it in you! This "NBA Finals" is pretty compelling to watch! Great game! But..... ...wtf??? Seriously? CP3 is hurt? Ok....how many times does this have to happen? Has anyone kept track of how many times the Warriors have benefited from the opposing team losing a key player (or two) in the playoffs? It's ridiculous. It's like they have a witch doctor on their payroll. This could ruin the entire playoffs for me. CP3 IS OUT GAME 6. No guarantee he plays 7 either. God there was a youtube comment on all the breaks the Warriors got. I wish I saved it but I didnt. So it's official no CP3 for 6...and 7, we dont know. bleacherreport.com/articles/2777917-chris-paul-ruled-out-of-game-6-vs-warriors-with-hamstring-injuryIt's official.....Harden or bust. Houston we have a problem....Also for Aj_June as he has been curious too. |

Now CP3 is out game 6 (Maybe 7) I wanna ask harpospoke & Aj_June and actually everyone else can answer too. So here it is: Would you prefer: 1. ROCKETS lost game 5....but CP3 is healthy 2. Where we are. Fun "fake" scenario but I am curious to hear, and anyone else who wants to answer, please do! |

It's ridiculous. It's like they have a witch doctor on their payroll. Like Draymond getting suspended for Game 5 and Bogut getting hurt for the rest of the Finals and Iguodala's back going out and he can barely move in game 6 and still isn't right in Game 7? Or Iguodala being out these past 2 games? Or Thompson getting hurt and still not back to himself. Or Steph being out in the first two rounds? |

Injuries are part of the game. |

Yep, it's funny how people say the Warriors are lucky because their playoff opponents always have injuries, but they conveniently forget that the Warriors have had their share of injuries in the playoffs too. It's similar to how many Patriots' fan after the Super Bowl XLII upset used the excuse that Brady had to play that Super Bowl with a bad ankle, but they conveniently forget that Kurt Warner had to play Super Bowl XXXVI against the Patriots with an injured thumb on his throwing hand. |

Please.....CP3 is arguably the 2nd or best player on the rockets. Not even a tad comparable. Not even close. GSW is insanely stacked, 2 no doubt hall of famers and 2 possible hall of famers. Not even close. |

For me it comes down to depth and conditioning (and luck if course). If there's any luck to be had on the injury front, it's going to go to the well balanced teams (ie: not dependent on one player) with the fittest players.

Or Iguodala being out these past 2 games? Or Thompson getting hurt and still not back to himself. Or Steph being out in the first two rounds? Green, his own fault. Bogut....rim stopper, they were up 3-1 WITH 2 GAMES IN THEIR HOME COURT. They had Green for 6 and 7. Im sorry it's hard for me to say,"poor GSW they dont got Igoudala" when they have probably 2 of the best players in the NBA in Durant and Curry. A guy in Green who can be a walking triple double. A guy in Klay who can shoot the lights out. Lets be real, Houston has 2 all stars GSW have 4. Igoudala while good, is not an "all star." It be like if Green got hurt for Houston, ask anyone who theyd take right now...Green or CP3. No contest. That's shows how loaded GSW are. They got 4 monsters 4. Rockets have 2. Igoudala IS A ROLE PLAYER. That's it. GSW also got to play Portland when they lost their big man, How about SAS when they lost Leonard. (Gotta love Zaza). Im sorry, GSW have benefited off injuries, and i said this WAY before Houston. Comparing Igoudala to CP3 is insanely laughable. BTW...while Steph was hurt, remember, NO also didnt have Cousins either. GSW again got to play SAS with no Leonard. SO no Curry, no Leonard No Curry, no Cousins. |

Not even close. It's not about ranking the players, it's about what the Warriors lose when he can't play, whether his replacements represent a big step down, and whether the key players can rest or have to watch the 2nd teamers blow the game. Durant is better than Curry, but the Warriors can win more easily when Durant's out than when Curry's out. But yeah, Paul has been playing the best and hiding Harden's consistently weak offensive games. But he hasn't been out until they play the next game. |

But yeah, Paul has been playing the best and hiding Harden's consistently weak offensive games. But he hasn't been out until they play the next game. Well it's already official Paul is out game 6. Look I like Igoudala, I feel he is underrated. Let me ask you this. Right now...seeing how both play, who is a better player? CP3 and Igoudala? I think you know. IMHO CP3 is a much bigger blow to the Rockets > Igoudala for GSW. I mean......Id prefer having Curry > Igoudala. I get it, he is part of that,"Hampton 5" and is a solid player. Im not sure it's fair comparing him to CP3. NOW CURRY TO CP3....ok, I def get that. Harden has been....ugh. 0-11 at 3 points, I feel a lot safer with CP3 having the ball in his hand. Does anyone remember how bad Harden looked against SAS in game 6 (I believe game 6). Hell they didnt even have Leonard. There is cause for concern. |

This Cavs series is just weird. All blowouts, 1 second half lead change and 0 fourth quarter lead changes. Not going to happen today, either.

Home team wins every game so far. Smallest margin of victory has been 9 points. All other games were decided by double digits. |

No wonder many people don't put your team along side Bill Russell's Celtic or other absolute great teams. 4 All-stars are not enough you guys also need your bench players. The perennial loser Kevin Durant in fact made your team bad, which is much better led by Steph Curry. Anyway, I don't see Cp3-less Rockets doing anything so congrats in advance. |

Igoudala > Curry? Igoudala > Green? Igoudala > Durant. NOW CP3! We play 7 so: CP3 > Ariza CP3 > Gordon CP3 > Green CP3 > Tucker Now the 2 harder ones CP3 > Harden (Yea, atm Id want CP3 over James. He has been more clutch) Now oddly...CP3 V Capela is where it gets tricky for me. We need Capela. We need CP3...this one is hard but I guess CP3 > Capela IMHO he is the best player for the Rockets. On CP3s best night....he is easily the best. WORST day....still 2nd to 3rd best. (Capela/CP3/Harden are the big 3). IGOUDALA had no pressure on him, MVP why? Curry gets doubled. Klay got doubled Igoudala got open shots. They dont double Igoudala, they do double Harden and CP3. Yes, igoudala is fantastic defensively, yea, he can make the open jay....but you wanna tell me Igoudala over any of those? Durant is doubled, Curry is doubled, Klay is (Green usually isnt because you just cant.) Let me ask this, you got to get rid of one of the Hampton 5...who do you ditch. Anyone who says anyone but Igoudala is being a fool. |

Where we are. Fun "fake" scenario but I am curious to hear, and anyone else who wants to answer, please do! Where we are, Shady. Winning 2 games would be too much for us. Now as it stands we are going to get blown out in Oakland. If Cp3 is healthy for the last game we can hope to compete and if not we can hope for a miracle or that the choker Kevin Durant disappears and Curry has a bad day. |
