Even Green's teammates know he's a dope. None of the coaches or teammates even tried to defend him, they were just hoping he wouldn't get himself tossed.

Tucker with an ol Tucker special on the sideline there.

I seriously can't take much more of Harden's fakes. Looney gets an offensive rebound and on the way down Harden steps under him and then when Klay hit the 3, harden is complaining Looney fouled him. He landed after a rebound you can't draw a charge by moving under a player who's in mid air.

Just play James stop faking so much

Chris Paul just dribbles around looking to run into someone to get on the free throw line.

I trust Livingston.


he's banged up,

How huge has Looney been even that last rebound by Curry was created by Looney occupying 2 guys so they couldn't get the ball

He has always been good off the bench. Probably didn't think he would be playing this much. LOL!

Well Houston blew this game, but if KD blew out his Achilles I still think Houston wins this series.

Man, that brings back memories. I tore my Achilles in 2003 playing racquetball. No one was around me, but I remember checking back over my shoulder and saying, "What was that?"

I don't. Even without KD, they're still the best team. Their odds of winning the title are down but they're still the favorite. I'd say they just went from 95% odds to win the title to about... 33%, but still the highest odds of the field.

Barkley says “Dubs aren't winning a series without KD"

He's acting like they were mediocre prior to Durant... won a title... best record ever... the core of those teams are all still there and the oldest of them is Curry at 31.

The Warriors are still the best team in the league and they only need to win one game in 2 to close out the Rockets. Their margin of error is now that of a normal title contender but they're still the favorite.

Yeah, but they are thin. They have no bench, so losing KD is huge. Livingston and Iggy don't look healthy either.

Iggy isn't much more banged up than a lot of guys are at this point in the year, he's played pretty well this series. And when you've got 3 All-Stars (granted, down from 5) a guy like Livingston is a luxury.

I'm not saying the Warriors are invulnerable, I'm just saying they're not toast. They're now operating on a level much closer to the other contenders.
