Harden and Curry are the opposite of basketball AIDS, whatever that may be.

So they are magic Johnson's money.

uhhh wow, what a finish there. thought Houston would pull it off.

LOL at giving the ball to Howard with 3 seconds left when he's at the 3-point line.

That was NOT clutch. Damn.

I would not have believed when that break started Harden wouldn't even get up a shot. Wow.

Looks like I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue.

Completely his fault. Is Howard going to shoot a 3 there?

Edit: Maybe not completely. A shooter should probably have positioned himself there so GS would at least have to respect that option with a defender.

I think he thought it was Ariza trailing.

Today was definitely a night to hate Josh Smith. 17 attempts in 21 minutes with only 5 makes. Geez.

Working in the east coast this week sucks. So sports unfriendly.

I was ready to blame Harden 100%, for not taking the shot after he created some separation with his classic 'rush and break' trick, but after checking the replay, I think passing instead of shooting was not that bad an idea, because he was just inside the 3 points line (long two), there were 4 seconds remaining (giving the Warriors a shot at a set play) and there was traffic just behind him (so he could have been blocked from behind). Once Howard has the ball, the situation is also not that hot, his options are taking an open shot (see diagram in spoilers), going for a risky drive or passing the ball back to a double teamed Harden.

I really thought they were about to win that shit, holy crap.

Rockets are 2-0 against the line. Take that Vegas.

Someone posted on twitter the over under for total conference finals games at one book is now 11. Fuck me.

Since we all know that the Cavs are going to sweep the Hawks, that looks to be a push bet.

I don't think I have ever seen so many shitty players make so many 3s.

I really hope no one plans on beating the Cavs anytime soon. They are playing at a ridiculous level right now.
