Cheat Codes and Free Throws : Warriors vs. Rockets On TNT Game Thread

[god shamgod]

The real secret to the Rocket's success aside from Harden's incredible play is their defensive coordinator coming back.

Rockets 25th in defense since their “defensive coordinator”came back and people dapped this bullshyt. This forum don’t know shyt about basketball

Biggest difference for the rockets wasnt harden it was Austin rivers... Coli brehs thought he was washed

That’s because these guys read numbers and don’t understand simple shyt. Austin Rivers is...

One of the quickest guards in the league
Sometimey shooter
Good defender
Huge chip on his shoulder

Add all that together and you have a good guard who can help you. That’s already been a couple of times on nationally televised games Austin has proven his worth in one form or another

I wonder if Daryl Morey regrets that CP3 contract secretly if they could have got Austin & another mid level scoring wing who could defend. Could you imagine Justin Holiday on this squad??

to Houston. I hate your team, but good win for you and a bad loss for us.

And in case anyone cares, that was a terrible miss by the refs on the KD out of bounds play. Never should have happened, obvious he was out of bounds.

On to the next one.

He also had Oladipo.

He didn’t have Oladipo in his current form

Stop it

 

[Don Homer]

[Torrential]

and he shyt talked him too

that's the goat defender tho

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Meh Steph is a GOAT shooter. You can’t get mad with him for taking open shots, especially in transition. Like he said that type of shot has been live or die for him his whole career just like Houston live or die by the three. I would never be mad at Steph for taking a good look open shot but maybe that’s just me

Nah breh, if you winning the game and it's less than 2 minutes left you gotta at least take 20 seconds off the shot clock each possession. That puts more pressure on the opposing teams offense when they get the ball.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Did anybody else notice that in the last possession for the Houston game winner that Curry got subbed out? I didn’t noticed it when i aw it live?



@G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman is this common for him to get subbed out on critical defensive possessions? How you feel about this?

Kerr changed the rotation last week and fukked it up. It wasn't because of defense, it was because he started Steph at the start of the 4th quarter and was resting him. Steph usually rests at the start of the 4th and comes in around the 6 minute mark.

there were like 10 threads and an entire game thread thats still stickied

Obviously someone who was too young to witness Jordan in his prime. That said, if Harden can do this to this Warriors team that supposedly be that elite, imagine what a 90's Jordan Bulls team would of done.

 

[Lootpack]

Harden gonna shyt to bed tonight

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

We saw the potential.

lol Oladipo was tentative even when Russ wasn’t on the floor. He would willingly let Kanter run the second unit

Vic would tell you he’s not the same guy

 

[MostReal]

I would likely be surprised at how much time it spends in other player's hands

Harden mostly brings up the ball, handles most of the ball during the shot clock, and also takes the most shots

There is only so much ball denial teams can do when the rock is in his hand that amount of time...

And then you have to factor in free throws when he gets "fouled"

Nah with 5 secs left it shouldn't be that easy for him being the only primary ball handler to receive a pass. Teams play Curry in situations like that with 2 people. You have to make sure someone else at least touches it first on the inbound. That allows your defense to set up.
I never really see Harden being made to work to get open. As deadly as he is with the ball. Ball denial should be top priority.
