It is true that anything can happen but it looks like it may take a historic fluke for Houston to pull through. Harden's defense is all about trying like you mentioned earlier, but it clearly affects his offensive game. He simply doesn't have the stamina to play high-level defense and high-level offense against a team like the Warriors.

Chris Paul is extremely underrated by many imo. For example, this the first time he's ever played with a guy like a Karl Malone, and he happens to cruise into the WCF.

Karl Malone? What?

It looks that way. But Id give Houston a chance still. Its one game at home. Anything can happen.

Sucks for Houston Paul is out though.

Houston played about as good as they possibly could in the first half without Paul.
 
Harden is a ******* disgrace to the league. Hooking and pushing off, flopping and whining. At least the refs didn't buy it in the 4th. And without those calls, Houston didn't stand a chance. Can't say I like GS, but I hope Houston doesn't get home cooking in Game 7. And somehow, I'm hoping Cleveland sends Boston on vacation.

Karl Malone got the foul line a lot too. Like Harden. Karl Malone in fact holds the record.

I think thats what he meant.

But in alll seriousness, it is kind of funny how bad Jazz fanz hate Harden for foul hunting and getting the line, but yet our all time greatest player was the king of it.

Difference is Harden took it to extremes when it comes to tricking the refs. Karl at least was really fouled 99% of the time, while Harden is like illusionist who makes any innocent contact look like a murder. He mastered that craft to the point that it makes me cringe everytime he fools the refs.

Agree, until last sentence. Cavs are trash pile without LBJ, no way I want team like that in the finals. Boston is much more likeable.

I don't like Harden getting the ticky-tacky calls either or the ones that he forces contact on, BUT the Dubs were hacking the crap out of him in the 4th quarter and he wasn't getting any of what were absolutely legitimate calls and fouls. In fact, he was getting fouled 2 or 3 times every time he drove to the basket.
 
I hate watching Cleveland. Their team is just horrible. It looks like they have no plan whatsoever. Everyone but Lebron looks like they are not NBA players. Lebron is supposed to make Players better? They look worse playing with him.
 
Its crazy. This game does not feel like a conference finals game7. Where is the sense of urgency? Where is the crowd? Weird.
 
Clarkson is beyond awful. 0-2, no rebounds, no assists and -13 in 9 minutes? Why is he playing over Calderon?
