2017-18 NBA (Playoffs): A gasping, wheezing thread begs message board poster arguing how Jordan never lost a Finals to just let it die in peace (2 Viewers)

just stepping back in to this game after halftime

did he just say the Rockets had missed 27 threes in a row?? or 27 shots in a row?

3s.

 

[msudaisy26]

Not sure what one has to do with the other.   A team can be getting hosed AND be shooting poorly.  It's possible.  Really, it is.

But can one person complain this much about the refs AND not look foolish doing it. Unpossible. Really, it is.

 

[ghostguy123]

The refs have had no affect in the outcome of the game. 

Ummmmm, interesting.  All I can say

Same difference.

You are complaining about me complaining.  

At least my posts have to do with the game.  All yours have to do with me.  

Get a life

Warriors used cheat codes at halftime. Make all your shots, play good offense, put refs in back pocket, and make other teams hoop super tiny.

Complaining/talking about the refs is the most banal form of sports conversation.

They said that after Suns-Spurs in 07 too

"Try not to miss any shots on the way to the parking lot!"

So you are saying the refs have never wrongly influenced a game?

Well then, I admire your faith in the system my good sir.

 

[sho nuff]

End of the third is why Harden over LeBron MVP is awful.  Over a minute left in the quarter where your team went from 10 up to 7 down at that point and he sits. LeBron?  Not so much.

 

[Jayded]

When Houston got it to six, how do you then decide to keep leaving the three open? Just asking for the dagger.

He is saying they didn't influence the 947 times a game you try to make it seem.

Sick

Lebron did the same thing in game 2 against the Celtics. Plus it is a regular season award.

I literally never said that. You just came up with that yourself. 

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Well, I was really hoping to see Cavs/Celtics vs Rockets this year for the Championship.  Oh well.  

Scary how good the Warriors are at this time.  Steve Kerr talking about how bad they are playing and only down 5 after the 1st quarter, 11 at half.  Come out in the third and just kick it up a notch and before Houston can blink they are down 10.    Crazy

 

[ghostguy123]

You do know I reference the terrible calls both ways no matter who is playing right?  Just havent had many, if any, against the WArriors today.  

 

[Zegras11]

Hockey game over... what happened since the half?

 

[sho nuff]

It’s game freaking 7 at home.

And who doesn’t know it’s a regular season award? 

 

[Prince Myshkin]

Durant has put on a clinic the second half. Can score so many ways

 

[GOB]

I don't want to be that guy that complains but,

The Magic should be picking 5th this year

The Rockets missed 27 threes in a row.  I mean, this is a totally different game if the Rockets were simply shooting "terrible" from 3 rather than all time abysmal.  

 

[need2know]

Warriors really need to foul capella at the end here?  Jeez

 

[GoBirds]

Splash Babies back to the finals. Woo. Hoo.

Dubs made every shot, Rockets missed every shot.

 

[Jayded]

I can appreciate greatness when I see it, but with the finals having the same teams again? Count me out.

 

[scoobus]

Really bad strategy by the Rockets missing all those 3's.  Should've made them.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

I am sure the bandwagon GS fans and NBA  die-hards will watch. 

 

[ghostguy123]

Cavs were +500 for the title before this game.  Gonna be what now like +750?

 

[ghostguy123]

Rocket need to hack a someone and get 15 more possessions

 

[Dedfin]

Really bad strategy by the Rockets missing all those 3's.  Should've made them.

 

[fred_1_15301]

I am sure the bandwagon GS fans and NBA  die-hards will watch. 

And all the lay fans (who normally don't give 2 ####s about the NBA).      

 

[Ghost Rider]

Harden has looked like anything but an MVP for much of this series.  They had a chance tonight with Chris Paul out if he had stepped up and played like a true MVP, but he gagged. 

 

[ghostguy123]

Dumb as ####.  they need to be fouling

 

[Capella]

Cavs were +500 for the title before this game.  Gonna be what now like +750?

No way in hell they were +500

 

[ghostguy123]

I still have not seen Ariza make a shot in this series. 

Repeat...............they look like they gave up, FOUL FOUL idiots.  Just blew threw a full minute.  Stupid

 

[Doctor Detroit]

NBA ####### sucks so bad 

 

[Daywalker]

No way in hell they were +500

That is about 20% right?  Sounds right.

 

[GOB]

Ariza, bruh.

 

[dickey moe]

Really bad strategy by the Rockets missing all those 3's.  Should've made them.

Next time they'll try harder.

 

[ghostguy123]

No way in hell they were +500

Yes.  I looked this morning.  +475.  Warriors were something like -250.  Rockets +150

Something along those lines.

 

[msudaisy26]

NBA ####### sucks so bad 

Well bye

 

[flranger]

I don't want to be that guy that complains but,

Would have been third if they lost that last game to the Wizards.  They were even behind in the fourth...  F Vogel.

 

[Capella]

That is about 20% right?  Sounds right.

16%. I would expect them to open around +280. Maybe I’m wrong but 500 is outrageous. 

 

[RUSF18]

I'm a very casual fan. I'm more likely to watch this matchup for the 4th time than LeBron taking on Harden and co for the first time. I would've expected either West team to win easily (obviously) so at that point I'd rather see if LeBron can take out the most dominant team.

 

[phandango]

It's not the Finals we want, but it's the Finals we deserve.

 

[ghostguy123]

16%. I would expect them to open around +280. Maybe I’m wrong but 500 is outrageous. 

Well if it was +475 before this game with the WArriors in the -250 range, logic say it will be greater than +475

 

[tjnc09]

No way in hell they were +500

Ya it's something like that.  the Warriors are huge favorites
