NBA/ Basketball thread

Makes me nervous when we go up this big in the first half. We always lose form in the second half.

Go Rockets!

Clutch City 2.0

Didn't have to wait till second half.

Great half of basketball.

I'd love for Chef Curry to return home to Charlotte! He's absolute money.

Well Houston made it much closer than I thought they would. I don't think this is gonna be a "Warriors in 5" like many were predicting.

 

[ilikecheese]

Helluva game that.

Yep.

Need to see how bad Howard is injured. Wish he was on the floor instead of Smith in the 4th. Tough game, good job Warriors.

I turned it on and texted my mate as we were 14points up and then it all fell apart.

Rooting for Golden State. I'm a Celtics fan by birth - lived in Boston in the Bird/Chief/McHale glory days - but as a University of Arizona alumnus, I am excited to see Steve Kerr excelling, particularly with a club like GS.

What do you think about the GS and Rockets styles of offense? Anything like Bird's Celtics? I don't remember much from the Showtime Lakers-Celtics rivalry, but seems like Bird or Johnson or Ainge was always draining 3s.

To be honest, i haven't seen any of it down here. Celtics were long range bombing combined with SuperKev (McHale) and Parrish inside. Rockets used to be a rivalry of ours as well in the mid-80s.

Internet in PY sucks, why I'm not involved on the match threads. I've been able to watch like 60 minutes of Everton this season beyond slideshow mode, pop-ups every 30s... even in Europa, the local Mall tvs (where dozens congregate in the AC to watch futbol) always showed the Spanish sides first.

Curry fined $5,000 for his flop last night. Not that it had any bearing on the game.

Also looks like Howard might not play tomorrow if he feels the same way he does right now. Ugh.

Personally think Wall should have got in the third team.

Also shocked to see DMC in the second team

I agree, although I think he is a good player, I feel he missed far to much time due to injury to get All NBA honours.

I think that. Also silly that the Hawks ran away with the east yet got no representation
