@@Oddlogic335 It's objective fact, you probably weren't even born back then but go back and watch the series. LeBron isn't in the goat debate anyways. Tons of people have outplayed him and they don't compare to Jordan
27 BRICKS IN A ROW!!! What do you expect to happen. I honestly was embarrassed for them after missing like 15, and they carry on?? There’s a line when you should stop trying the same thing, and they flew across it.
They only won by 9. And we missed all those 3s. But the reason everyone blames the refs is because they stole 14 points off of bad calls. So that’s why it matters
Cesar Leija they always allow more physical play the deeper you go in the playoffs. A player that lives for calls isnt gonna get them in the post season as often as he would in the regular season. Plus Harden litterally falls to the ground on every shot he takes that's contested, i wouldnt call it either.
Cesar Leija ...14 pts compaired to robbing 100s of points from other teams for giving Harden a foul even when defenders are no where near him ... Harden wouldn't score as much if it wasnt for those same bad calls but they are worse when they miss 3
Invincible Speaker ...that would have meant the rockets would have won by changing it up and D'Antoni wasnt about to have that happen , ( but Cp3 was in they would have won ) they lost by 9 without lost by 41 with him in it's crazy to see all the what ifs and excuses but what actually happens doesn't count
Nah man. If you remember they were pick n rolling with Capela in the first half, so it was all dunks. They stopped the pick n roll and started that Harden iso, everyone on the wing that doesn't work for Lebron nor Westbrook. Dribble around and give a guy 4-5 seconds to shoot a 3. They stopped their whole pick n roll game. Unless the Warriors stopped the pick n roll dunk game???
*Unpopular opinion:* No one on that team besides Eric Gordon is a great 3 point shooter. If Harden doesn't drive and kick, they are a subpar shooting team.
LIT GOD How many shots did the head coach miss ??? 😎😎😎 Chris Paul INJURED IN THE PLAYOFFS as usual. If these were the Lakers = a team full of rookies & 2nd Year players, you can blame the head coach. Most of these players have at least 8 years NBA experience.
I try to tell people this! If you want to shoot a bunch of threes you better have ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Glen Rice, Mitch Richmond, John Paxon etc I don’t understand why DAntoni doesn’t understand this. If they want to shoot all of these threes then you need to atleast get a JJ Reddick or somebody that can hit threes consistently. You need guys that compete in and win three point contest. Klay, Steph and Durant are SHOOTERS! You will not outshoot them. SMH
First and foremost, Paul's absence ruined the game. Rockets would have never have went 0-27 with him on the floor. However, They should have attacked the paint when being up 12. Also missing the first ten, you should have adjusted the plays! No funny jokes on this one. Sucks as a fan to not see this series conclude with both teams healthy.
@@MrSPIDEY21 CP3 knew they needed a more fluid style of play, thats why Harden wanted him gone. I'll never 4get the game Harden was out & CP3 orchestrated 17 assist and a W on GSW. Harden wouldn't cross the half court line if the play wasn't called 4 him
Missing 27 threes in a row is ridiculous. Rockets weren't even running an offense at that point Like Terry said, attacking the paint was working. I expected them to continue that once the second half got going.

Yet was told by coach Pat Riley to keep shooting. SMH! Coaches are human and can become stiff-necked and unwilling to adjust a failing strategy.
Everybody forgot that Mike D'Antoni never won BECAUSE of that system. Remember Steve Nash and the Suns. Just replace Gordon by Barbosa, Capela by Stoudamire and Gordon by I don't know who. Then you have Ariza as Bell. They never won anything because that kind of basketball never wins championship. NEVER. AND Popovich will always be there to remind you that he even allow Duncan to crucify the Suns with a 3pt during the playoffs. Defense wins championship. Dennis Rodman always told you that but you never listen. D'Antoni is a regular season coach. But remember what Larry Bird said when it's time for the Playoffs. That's right. You got it now.
There is No One to Blame.coz GSW Pound for Pound has So much FIREPOWER compared to the Rockets. Analytics doesnt mean a Thing VS the Championship experience of the Warriors. Besides, Harden aint Jordan,Kobe or LeBron. PERIOD!
D'Antoni is a brilliant basketball mind, arguably the best offensive genius in basketball history. He transformed the league in 2004 on assist-heavy PnRs with Steve Nash. Since then, every team played with pace & space and heavily emphasized on three pointers. Miami was the first to popularize it, then the Spurs adapted to it, and now the Warriors built a dynasty on it. Now nearly 15 seasons later, he swung 180 degrees to favorable iso-heavy switch offense with James Harden & Chris Paul. Frankly, he made a relatively healthy Warriors team vulnerable for the first time in 4 seasons (and no, that 2016 Cavs was never a threat to a healthy Warriors team). All of that said, D'Antoni is just too stubborn and too extreme with his coaching style. His isolation plays worked brilliantly to win 65 games, but it does not mean you simply double the amount of isolation plays in Game 1. Without Chris Paul, he resorted to creating volatility with as many threes as possible, and it worked brilliantly in the first half of both game 6 and 7. But three pointers in a high octane up & down is unsustainable. Once you have a double digit +17 (game 6) and +15 (game 7), you have to change your strategy at half time to emphasize on holding the lead rather than continue the volatility. I feel bad for D'Antoni because I really do think he's one of the most brilliant people in the history of basketball and should be undoubtedly a first ballot hall of famer. But he will never be appreciated as such due to his lack of postseason success.
despite the refs despite some missed calls they still lost by only 9 and the main point here is they missed 27 threes in a row. idc how rigged you think the refs are bro yall just missed 27 threes in a ROW. if they wanted it bad enough they would have adjusted if harden wanted it bad enough he would have said f the game plan and took over. long story short yall missed 27 threes in a ROW
Cadavius Casey I agree with the 0 for 27 3's but if Harden got that 3 point play,plus the and 1,and then got the foul from the other 3 they didn't call,game would have been closer,not saying they would have won but game could have been closer. Rockets and refs gave Golden State that game.
Rich Pena you right but its like damn switch it up or something lol its game 7 there isnt a game 8. some calls were definitely blown. but i just wanted to see that hunger from them in the 2nd half that i saw in the first
Cadavius Casey Yea,it was sad and hard to watch. I've been watching Rockets since a kid,38 now and been on the fence bout the NBA being so called "rigged" or "scripted" but yesterday was jus way too obvious. Missing shots is one thing but those refs were outta there mind on the no calls. Corner 3 by Steph and Bells shoves Harden hard so he can't contest, obvious offensive foul on Bell as well. Same with Celtics and Cleveland in game 7,these pros launching 3 like no tomorrow. Maybe I'm crazy I'll admit but both series game 7's were suspect. NBA wants a re-run 4th year in a row. Sorry bout the long reply lol
And I'll say this today,5-30-18... This Finals will b for LeBron to save his Legacy so he can say he took a bad team to Finals and Won,or it will be for Golden State to win, which will allow LBJ to make his move to a team of Stars, Philly, LA,maybe Houston,and b on a super team and take out Golden State that way. Just my opinion ✌️
Rich Pena yeah hopefully next year will be different with Boston striking gold with their rookies and kyrie and gordon coming back. and 76ers applying pressure but i will be interested to see what the King does in free agency.
Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact same flipping thing over and over again expecting things to change.-Far Cry 3
27 misses from range IN A ROW. What coach doesn't fix this before it goes that far? They were up by 15 at one point during the first half! D'Antoni has to take at least some of the blame for this loss.
Paul was paid to sit out, as good as Harden supposed to be, they know it's decision making in closing situations is not there, cp3 ball control was the key, and the friggin coach for christ sakes
Man you dont even have to be a houston fan to see how bad the reffing was. The refs clearly turned a blind eye to the illegal screens happening right in front of them. The fouls on Harden's 3s were'nt call. There were offensive fouls, reach ins that werent called and the same were called for the warriors on the other end. That's just ridiculous. Agreed that they shot bricks from 3, butwhat were they supposed to do, they werent getting foul calls when they drove to the paint, i saw gordon drive to the paint and that guy was sandwiched by two guys and no call!! Are you kidding me. If they called fouls, Klay, bell, looney and other toons wouldve been on the bench for the most of the time. That what happens when you're in foul trouble. They are definitely sweeping the cavs but i hope they wont need the refs to help them in that as well
there was a moment where the whole rockets on the floor were clearly frustrated after a call, and he did not call timeout. I was watching and kept wondering why. His lack of timeout on critical moments have helped the warriors find their rhythm.
phillyfanatic11 you know how they lost...they put in ryan anderson..and steph got going in 3rd quarter..and lots of missed calls....they lost it in the 3rd.
This what happens when they lose cp3... whenever they were jacking up shots cp3 reels the team back together and have them do what works. It’s too easy to guard a team that just shoots 3’s all game. Although I give d’antoni for creating a great team in the rockets that got them this far I think he did a really bad job at coaching the 2nd half of this game. You saw success driving to the rim and either getting layups or then kicking out for open threes instead of guys creating them off the dribble. But what do you do? Shoot bad 3’s! This is totally on the coach because he’s either telling them that jacking up bad 3’s is the answer or the guys don’t trust the coaches judgement when it’s game 7 of the WCF against champions. Whether it’s a bad coaching call or the guys not trusting him this makes him look really bad.
*lmao at these ppl making excuses for cp3 being out when they dont wanna even talk about iguodala being out since game 3 and the fact that he clamped harden and cp3 allowing 1fg/41 attempts on them combined*
Skep Bayluss even tho it’s sad that’s CP3 faught. A hamstring injury is a fitness problem and this shows that CP3 need to get in the gym and get in shape. He probably didn’t even stress before the game 5.
Rockets need to find a good backup for CP3. They need a point guard who can handle the rock when CP3 is either on the bench or hurt because they got exposed this series. If Harden has to handle the rock, distribute and score he seems to get worn down faster. That's what happened last night and last year. Could be his conditioning to blame as well but... that's another story all together. Rocket's GM should've known better tho... CP3 stays hurt... Always have, always will!!!
I have to agree with Shannon. I felt bad for Eric Gordon as he was the only one attacking the basketball in the second half. :( Cavs vs Warriors: The 4th Chapter!
best money im not gonna bandwagon some other team because my guys lost. I dont need that feeling of a sports team winning to feel good about who i root for.
Cory Fessenden yo I’m a buck fan too my guy and I sleep well knowing the team that beat us gave the king a run for his money. Next year the prince becomes the king watch it happen!
They lost as a collective in my eyes, everyone on the floor were throwing up 3's that weren't falling. At some point they should've focused on 2 pointers to keep them in the game until the very end to start shooting the 3.
they were bad in the first half too. Harden got fouled on consecutive 3 pointers but the refs didn’t call it. had those called actually been made, Rockets would’ve been up by possibly 17 at half time.
Take A Walk With Me when a team they don’t hate is experiencing no calls it’s playoff basketball, when it’s the other way it’s rigged. There were bad calls and whistle swallowing throughout this entire playoffs on both sides. Numerous games where Curry cannot buy a single call, but curry is soft if we complain about that. The irony. Nba had no reason to force a warriors win, especially with lebron in the finals, he’s enough of a face and had enough of a storyline to carry the finals viewership. The only people who wouldn’t watch a rockets Cavs finals are probably fans of the conference finals teams who lost. People should get a grip and clue.
Looking back, I thought they were gonna say that Chris Paul would’ve slowed everything down. CP3 is an on-court coach. That’s what Houston was missing. Only a team with no facilitator will take so many 3s and not acknowledge that they are still missing
You have to have some pretty special shooters to rely on the 3 to win in the playoffs. Golden State has a few of those, Dallas did (Dirk shot 46% from 3 and Terry 44% in 2011, they were both
“Hack-Capela “( making capela going to the freethrow line and he’s likely to missed ) in the 1st half was genius 😂😂😂 by steve Kerr to get back possession
What nobody is talking about is Kerr's decision to foul Capela so he can shoot free throws. With Capela missing and being a liability on offense D'Antoni had to take him out. That diminished their pick and roll.
Rockets panicked and tried to take the easy way out by chugging 3 point shots. They got nervous and stopped trying to make plays because the Warriors was very tough on defense. When they started missing, the problem just got worse as they lost even more confidence. It was a team meltdown. Poor leadership on the floor from Harden. The role players choked. Cp3 would have helped, but it wouldn't have made a difference when Curry/Klay/KD all got hot at the same time.
Houston could not beat the Warriors shooting 3’s. D’antoni deserves the blame for the Rockets losing but no one mentions his name. Harden has proven that he can distribute the ball, rebound, and score. Harden doesn’t have to rely on strictly shooting jumpers. D’antoni, in CP3’s absence, relegated Harden to being a 1 on 1 scorer. He also shortened the rotation and everyone was fatigued that’s why their jumpers weren’t falling. Without the toughness and attitude of CP3 the Rockets didn’t have a chance of winning.
Dude, did you really say Jason Terry deserved the Finals MVP over Dirk? Dirk is one of the few players in NBA history to score in double digits in the 4th quarter in every single Finals game. He owned the 4th quarter in their game 2 comeback. In game 3, which they lost by 2, he outscored his teammates 15-7. Skip, you're insane, man.
It was Little Game James. Harden seemingly folds in every big postseason game. He did it in OKC; He did it during the deciding game against the Clipper a couple of years ago ... and now this. He does great during the regular season, so props for that.
The coaching staff is to blame for letting them shoot all those threes, Harden should've been a leader and said guys the threes aren't working lets attack
As a Rockets fan, I blame the whole team and coaching staff. The coaching staff had gotten away from what was working to allowing the team to "jack up" threes. The players, especially James Harden, for not expressing to the coaches about the importance of taking more higher percentage shots. Scenario: Klay Thompson has 4 fouls at the beginning of the 3rd Period. Why not keep driving the ball in and make Golden State play defense and possibly get into foul trouble? The whole strategy was puzzling to me. Plus, the Rockets need to develop a mid-range game to counter if they are not having a great game long-range.
Christopher Ellisor I agree, the blame should not be purely on the officiating as the Rockets players committed several costly mistakes themselves and therefore, should also be accountable. Admittedly, these Rockets were not equipped to perform in high-pressure situations as few adjustments could have won them the game.
The rockets couldn’t keep that type of game up that they did in the first half!! They don't have the stamina that golden state has. That’s one thing to talk about because they looked tired in the middle of the 3rd quarter. That’s when golden state started to get better looks at the basket because the rockets couldn’t keep up and it was over from there.
A.D Harris aka TheotheSir agreed been trying tel ppl this since hornets days. I was mad cp3 went to Houston instead of spurs. I’m glad James harden got exposed cause if rockets lost with cp3 he would’ve caught all the blame.
This was a great season. I’m glad the off season started.... Oh wait, there is still the finals that I won’t be watching. It’ll be Warriors in 5 everyone knows that
D'Antoni for not adjusting to the current game and sticking with the 3pt shots. Capella dominated inside. W's have no presence in the middle. They had a 15 pt lead. Yet they still shot 3s
They making shots at the first half so they thought it would be the same in the 2nd so they really are forcing their 3s to go in. I think they just wanted to end the streak but it came up shooting bricks all the way until pj tucker hits the corner 3 with 5 mins left on the last quarter. And also they lost their momentum because of the 9 missed calls by the ref which may lead to 15-18 more free throw attempts
Who deserves the most blame for the Rockets’ collapse?
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED warriors

I feel bad for D'Antoni because I really do think he's one of the most brilliant people in the history of basketball and should be undoubtedly a first ballot hall of famer. But he will never be appreciated as such due to his lack of postseason success.
UtotheJ uhhh...
despite the refs despite some missed calls they still lost by only 9 and the main point here is they missed 27 threes in a row. idc how rigged you think the refs are bro yall just missed 27 threes in a ROW. if they wanted it bad enough they would have adjusted if harden wanted it bad enough he would have said f the game plan and took over. long story short yall missed 27 threes in a ROW
Cadavius Casey I agree with the 0 for 27 3's but if Harden got that 3 point play,plus the and 1,and then got the foul from the other 3 they didn't call,game would have been closer,not saying they would have won but game could have been closer. Rockets and refs gave Golden State that game.
Rich Pena you right but its like damn switch it up or something lol its game 7 there isnt a game 8. some calls were definitely blown. but i just wanted to see that hunger from them in the 2nd half that i saw in the first
Cadavius Casey Yea,it was sad and hard to watch. I've been watching Rockets since a kid,38 now and been on the fence bout the NBA being so called "rigged" or "scripted" but yesterday was jus way too obvious. Missing shots is one thing but those refs were outta there mind on the no calls. Corner 3 by Steph and Bells shoves Harden hard so he can't contest, obvious offensive foul on Bell as well. Same with Celtics and Cleveland in game 7,these pros launching 3 like no tomorrow. Maybe I'm crazy I'll admit but both series game 7's were suspect. NBA wants a re-run 4th year in a row. Sorry bout the long reply lol
And I'll say this today,5-30-18... This Finals will b for LeBron to save his Legacy so he can say he took a bad team to Finals and Won,or it will be for Golden State to win, which will allow LBJ to make his move to a team of Stars, Philly, LA,maybe Houston,and b on a super team and take out Golden State that way. Just my opinion ✌️
Rich Pena yeah hopefully next year will be different with Boston striking gold with their rookies and kyrie and gordon coming back. and 76ers applying pressure but i will be interested to see what the King does in free agency.
Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact same flipping thing over and over again expecting things to change.-Far Cry 3
27 misses from range IN A ROW. What coach doesn't fix this before it goes that far? They were up by 15 at one point during the first half! D'Antoni has to take at least some of the blame for this loss.
Paul was paid to sit out, as good as Harden supposed to be, they know it's decision making in closing situations is not there, cp3 ball control was the key, and the friggin coach for christ sakes
Man you dont even have to be a houston fan to see how bad the reffing was. The refs clearly turned a blind eye to the illegal screens happening right in front of them. The fouls on Harden's 3s were'nt call. There were offensive fouls, reach ins that werent called and the same were called for the warriors on the other end. That's just ridiculous. Agreed that they shot bricks from 3, butwhat were they supposed to do, they werent getting foul calls when they drove to the paint, i saw gordon drive to the paint and that guy was sandwiched by two guys and no call!! Are you kidding me. If they called fouls, Klay, bell, looney and other toons wouldve been on the bench for the most of the time. That what happens when you're in foul trouble. They are definitely sweeping the cavs but i hope they wont need the refs to help them in that as well
Kulpreet Singh 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭LOL!!!
Rockets was doing illegal screens all game 💀💀💀 rockets just choked
So is that why the Rockets shot 22 free throws and the Warriors shot 14?
Kulpreet Singh They could have utilized the mid range (18 feet) to score but they chose to shoot 3s.
Kulpreet Singh but you are a Houston fan, at least the rockets helped the community after the floods by donating all those bricks to build new houses
Dantoni. Your team almost missed 30 straight 3's. His run and gun system was never gonna win it all.
Lewis Edwards that's true but his team also missed 27 straight 3's. At some point you have to call an audible.
there was a moment where the whole rockets on the floor were clearly frustrated after a call, and he did not call timeout. I was watching and kept wondering why. His lack of timeout on critical moments have helped the warriors find their rhythm.
phillyfanatic11 you know how they lost...they put in ryan anderson..and steph got going in 3rd quarter..and lots of missed calls....they lost it in the 3rd.
No D'Antoni would be a good assistant coach on a championship team (reminds me of del harris... just not good enough as a head coach).
This what happens when they lose cp3... whenever they were jacking up shots cp3 reels the team back together and have them do what works. It’s too easy to guard a team that just shoots 3’s all game.
Although I give d’antoni for creating a great team in the rockets that got them this far I think he did a really bad job at coaching the 2nd half of this game. You saw success driving to the rim and either getting layups or then kicking out for open threes instead of guys creating them off the dribble. But what do you do? Shoot bad 3’s! This is totally on the coach because he’s either telling them that jacking up bad 3’s is the answer or the guys don’t trust the coaches judgement when it’s game 7 of the WCF against champions. Whether it’s a bad coaching call or the guys not trusting him this makes him look really bad.
In the timeout, CP3 could've told em.
*lmao at these ppl making excuses for cp3 being out when they dont wanna even talk about iguodala being out since game 3 and the fact that he clamped harden and cp3 allowing 1fg/41 attempts on them combined*
NBA Players Facts
TheAverageGamer25 like he said Iggy clamped cp3 and harden so obviously loosing him was HUGE for golden state
NBA Players Are we forgetting houston defensive man who have been struggling off an injury. Mbah moute aint been same since the reg season.
exaclibur
its not about that, the rockets fans were thinking they gona win still without mbah moute
People underestimate coaching. It really makes a difference in crunch time basketball. A great coach would have kept Houston attacking.
Chris Paul’s hamstring
Skep Bayluss don’t do that to the man😂
Skep Bayluss even tho it’s sad that’s CP3 faught. A hamstring injury is a fitness problem and this shows that CP3 need to get in the gym and get in shape. He probably didn’t even stress before the game 5.
Not the Warriors fault CP3 is made of glass.
Rockets need to find a good backup for CP3. They need a point guard who can handle the rock when CP3 is either on the bench or hurt because they got exposed this series. If Harden has to handle the rock, distribute and score he seems to get worn down faster. That's what happened last night and last year. Could be his conditioning to blame as well but... that's another story all together. Rocket's GM should've known better tho... CP3 stays hurt... Always have, always will!!!
Ong😂
This must be the best segment of UNDISPUTED I've ever watched!
LeShannon havin Vietnam flashbacks talkin to Jason Terry LMAO
I have to agree with Shannon. I felt bad for Eric Gordon as he was the only one attacking the basketball in the second half. :( Cavs vs Warriors: The 4th Chapter!
I agree with Jet, shoulda been the Bucks!
Cory Fessenden they got put out the first round with the starless Celtics 😂 how should it be them
best money im not gonna bandwagon some other team because my guys lost. I dont need that feeling of a sports team winning to feel good about who i root for.
Cory Fessenden yo I’m a buck fan too my guy and I sleep well knowing the team that beat us gave the king a run for his money. Next year the prince becomes the king watch it happen!
Harry Barry i wanted the Celtics to lose sooooo bad. A sweep actually lol.
@@harrybarry8701 welp he did win a ring tho lol more than harden 😭
Why we forgetting Trevor Ariza played 40 something minutes and scored NOTHING!!!
They lost as a collective in my eyes, everyone on the floor were throwing up 3's that weren't falling. At some point they should've focused on 2 pointers to keep them in the game until the very end to start shooting the 3.
9:20 Lmaooo he was like "james harden... NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE"
Wait, were the refs bad in the first half when the Rockets were winning? Oh, just when the rockets choked in the second half
Right
they were bad in the first half too. Harden got fouled on consecutive 3 pointers but the refs didn’t call it. had those called actually been made, Rockets would’ve been up by possibly 17 at half time.
Take A Walk With Me when a team they don’t hate is experiencing no calls it’s playoff basketball, when it’s the other way it’s rigged. There were bad calls and whistle swallowing throughout this entire playoffs on both sides. Numerous games where Curry cannot buy a single call, but curry is soft if we complain about that. The irony. Nba had no reason to force a warriors win, especially with lebron in the finals, he’s enough of a face and had enough of a storyline to carry the finals viewership. The only people who wouldn’t watch a rockets Cavs finals are probably fans of the conference finals teams who lost. People should get a grip and clue.
Uh it might be hard to get a shooting rhythm when you keep getting fouled !
Shareef Taylor or when you’re looking for fouls instead of actually trying to shoot
Jason Terry is awesome doing this good job bro the real 2011 NBA Finals MVP
joy looking like.a queen 😍❤️👸💍
Looking back, I thought they were gonna say that Chris Paul would’ve slowed everything down. CP3 is an on-court coach. That’s what Houston was missing. Only a team with no facilitator will take so many 3s and not acknowledge that they are still missing
You have to have some pretty special shooters to rely on the 3 to win in the playoffs. Golden State has a few of those, Dallas did (Dirk shot 46% from 3 and Terry 44% in 2011, they were both
“Hack-Capela “( making capela going to the freethrow line and he’s likely to missed ) in the 1st half was genius 😂😂😂 by steve Kerr to get back possession
Warriors blew a 3-1 Lead but they are about to be 3-1 against Lebron and the Cavs in the Finals
blackcobra1981 suppose to be funny?
Enlightenment .W These are facts not a joke, idiot
Enlightenment .W lol 😂 you salty cause I’m on the ground
No 3-1, just a 4-0. LeSwept the newest member of 3-6 Mafia
Give the Jet a job Fs1! Charismatic, good analysis and he'll only get better on the camera.
Ouch@! Mike's neck is on the line.
What nobody is talking about is Kerr's decision to foul Capela so he can shoot free throws. With Capela missing and being a liability on offense D'Antoni had to take him out. That diminished their pick and roll.
They just passed the Houston Oilers for the worst playoff collapse.
Jet a good analyst. Enjoy hearing his opinion.
Harden tried flopping so many times. Refs won’t help you in a game 7
" and that thing hit Jerry West in the head " LMFAOOOOOOOO💀😭
5:27 Shannon is too funny 😂😂😂
Rockets panicked and tried to take the easy way out by chugging 3 point shots. They got nervous and stopped trying to make plays because the Warriors was very tough on defense. When they started missing, the problem just got worse as they lost even more confidence.
It was a team meltdown. Poor leadership on the floor from Harden. The role players choked. Cp3 would have helped, but it wouldn't have made a difference when Curry/Klay/KD all got hot at the same time.
✈️ went off in the 2011 Finals.

Houston could not beat the Warriors shooting 3’s. D’antoni deserves the blame for the Rockets losing but no one mentions his name. Harden has proven that he can distribute the ball, rebound, and score. Harden doesn’t have to rely on strictly shooting jumpers. D’antoni, in CP3’s absence, relegated Harden to being a 1 on 1 scorer. He also shortened the rotation and everyone was fatigued that’s why their jumpers weren’t falling. Without the toughness and attitude of CP3 the Rockets didn’t have a chance of winning.
Kirby Augustine D'Antonoob should be fired
Dude, did you really say Jason Terry deserved the Finals MVP over Dirk? Dirk is one of the few players in NBA history to score in double digits in the 4th quarter in every single Finals game. He owned the 4th quarter in their game 2 comeback. In game 3, which they lost by 2, he outscored his teammates 15-7. Skip, you're insane, man.
Harden ain’t no Bron, the real MVP is getting ready to play in game 1 while one is going to be watching it.
Ben Simmons facts!!
Ben Simmons facts bruh
Bron will be with you Ben once GS beats Cavs in game 5
Ben Simmons I agree
situationofchaos 🖕
This two really fun to watch😂😂😂
Jet!! That's a good looking ring you got on brother! MFFL!
lol at shannon saying "we" when he and they talk about lebron. Also when he looked at joy she was shaking her head lol.
Jason Terry aging like a octopus on Spongebob. Squidward
Thank you to give kerr a credit he deserved.
Hack-a-Capela = great observation 😎😎😎
DeAndre Page... Thought I was the only one that noticed.
Jet needs a show, I like his commentary
Can someone do a timeframe of when Joy is on camera.
2:04
4:14
5:23
Lmao wow u that desperate
Mr Tibbs Why Does She Even Receive A Paycheck? Oh Nevermind I Know 😂😂😂
I am feeling the Joy today!
are we sure that's jason Terry and not an alien?
Anthony Machado Laughed way too hard at this 😂
Megamind
Anthony Machado that's Sam Cassell. He's the alien lol
Hahahahaha
Are we sure Jason Terry isn't an alien?
It was Little Game James. Harden seemingly folds in every big postseason game. He did it in OKC; He did it during the deciding game against the Clipper a couple of years ago ... and now this. He does great during the regular season, so props for that.
I think rockets just got tired. Harden wasn't shaking and baking in 2nd half like he was in 1st. Harden played almost 48 minutes. He ain't LeBron
JarrydTIme 6 man rotation is just stupid as the playoffs goes on by the western finals most of the players are exhausted
I just noticed terry rocking that ring lol
I love Shannon's boldness, if they score 2 3's time out time out...I died laughing
The coaching staff is to blame for letting them shoot all those threes, Harden should've been a leader and said guys the threes aren't working lets attack
3 quick foul calls on Klay Thompson = Refs cheating 😎😎😎. GSW beat Houston & the refs
As a Rockets fan, I blame the whole team and coaching staff. The coaching staff had gotten away from what was working to allowing the team to "jack up" threes. The players, especially James Harden, for not expressing to the coaches about the importance of taking more higher percentage shots. Scenario: Klay Thompson has 4 fouls at the beginning of the 3rd Period. Why not keep driving the ball in and make Golden State play defense and possibly get into foul trouble? The whole strategy was puzzling to me. Plus, the Rockets need to develop a mid-range game to counter if they are not having a great game long-range.
Christopher Ellisor I agree, the blame should not be purely on the officiating as the Rockets players committed several costly mistakes themselves and therefore, should also be accountable. Admittedly, these Rockets were not equipped to perform in high-pressure situations as few adjustments could have won them the game.
The rockets couldn’t keep that type of game up that they did in the first half!! They don't have the stamina that golden state has. That’s one thing to talk about because they looked tired in the middle of the 3rd quarter. That’s when golden state started to get better looks at the basket because the rockets couldn’t keep up and it was over from there.
KING MAGAZEAN they should have played rugby basketball at the start of the 3rd.
Them getting on Terry about the Rockets subbing in Ryan Anderson had me dying.
CP3 is a better guard than harden.
Condor L Gaming g
CP3 is the best pure POINT GUARD in the game.
A.D Harris aka TheotheSir agreed been trying tel ppl this since hornets days. I was mad cp3 went to Houston instead of spurs. I’m glad James harden got exposed cause if rockets lost with cp3 he would’ve caught all the blame.
Better player than James Harden
Ranier Jordan You're trippin. Even as a Rockets fan I know CP3 isn't better than James.
Jason Terry is a natural.
Joy is a fine young woman.
Was gonna give some constructive opinion, but saw Joy and got totally captivated by her beauty. 😍 -thank you for making my day Joy 😍😍😍😍
This was a great season. I’m glad the off season started....
Oh wait, there is still the finals that I won’t be watching. It’ll be Warriors in 5 everyone knows that
Vedant Patel probably fo
Ew. Warriors fan are so arrogant
Rockets simply ran out of gas by the 2nd half which is usually what happens to most teams that the Warriors play
Haven't seen that many bricks dropped since I last looked up toilet camera on PornHub.
Dman Productions It's a joke, dude.
Wait, that's a thing?
Of course it is. Pornhub has it all buddy. Pornhub has it all.
Chiggsy Damn.
Dman is right: You need serious help
D'Antoni for not adjusting to the current game and sticking with the 3pt shots. Capella dominated inside. W's have no presence in the middle. They had a 15 pt lead. Yet they still shot 3s
Bron = MVP
Harden = MrMissa3
Loving Jason Terry on the show
Dirk averaged 26 9 in the finals tf is skip talking about
Hes talking about rising and shining in game 5 and 6 Jason played well and won the game for them that’s what skip was talking about
They making shots at the first half so they thought it would be the same in the 2nd so they really are forcing their 3s to go in. I think they just wanted to end the streak but it came up shooting bricks all the way until pj tucker hits the corner 3 with 5 mins left on the last quarter. And also they lost their momentum because of the 9 missed calls by the ref which may lead to 15-18 more free throw attempts
