    @mariner4life I watched the last nerve-wracking 10min and I can not understand why Westbrook had the ball in the clutch. Chris Webber couldn't understand it. D'Antoni looked like he didn't know why. Harden wasn't screaming for the ball either. Very weird.

    It was even worse than you describe because Dort was off the court for the final 5 mins of the game, and Harden was being guarded by SGA. Appalling coaching and leadership from Harden. Unless of course you believe that Silver just really wanted a G7...

    Joking of course.

    Man I dislike Chris Paul - heck of a player, but what a flopping whining bitch he is

      Houston won't play like that again. I expect that Harden will be a greedy bastard and shoot the lights out.

      SGA has been shit all series and his team needs him to be making those shots. At this stage, he's only marginally offering more than their rookie Bazely and he playing far fewer minutes.

      SGA scored 20+ in one of the earlier games when all 3 guards came up big.

      Nice to see Gallinari play better.

          Speaking of not performing, Westbrook isn't doing anything to dispel the idea that he is another playoff P. He was dire in the closing stages of G6. OKC did a good job of denying Harden though, even if he didn't seem that desperate to get his hands on the ball

              Boston beat Raptors again.

              Celtics are a better team this year without Kyrie Irving and Al Horford.

                @voodoo I don't think that's an unfair statement but I've liked that he's attempting to take charges. Young players aren't always putting their bodies on the line. I will say he's not doing the best job of it. Usually has both feet in the arc.

                I think he plays a very similar game to RIp Hamilton. Having to find unconventional ways to score when being such a slight body type. He just needs to find that big game attitude.

                    and, in keeping with teh series as a whole, it's locked up in teh Nuggs v Jazz game 7, midway through the 4th.

                    Murray kept quiet which has resulted in Jokic getting off the chain a bit

                            What a final passage of play to end the series. Amazing.

                                  Was it T Craig that missed the lay up that nearly cost the game?

                                  I just watched an Instagram live video of him on the bus with the boys and they were giving him shit.

                                  Lol, he just said he thought it went in which is why he didn't run back hard!

                                    @mariner4life I didn't see who it was as I just paid attention to Gobert rebound and then his almost nonchalant outlet to Conley at half court. That's a rough way to exit. Without being in the same position myself, of course, I think it's worse than had they been steamrolled. It will haunt both Conley with that what-if it dropped shot and the lack of ball security from Donovan.

                                      I mean it would be somewhat haunting, but realistically they were competing to earn the right to lose to the Clippers in 5. So in the grand scheme I don't think Conley's shot means that much.

                                        @barbarian this is true. It's not the last shot of game 7 in the finals.

                                          It was Craig. Dunk the ball Torrey!

                                          That Conley shot was halfway down and then out. Donovan’s energy on D was great but man those turnovers...

                                          @canefan Russ hasn’t played for a while and I get that a guy if his class and ability that the Rockets coaches want him to get back into it. But this is the playoffs and things get a little harder.
