About to be Golden State vs Cleveland for the 4th year in a row.

Is the NBA experiencing any sort of ratings drop, by the way? Asked out of honest curiosity.

Without looking, I'm willing to bet ratings are up. NBA is booming in popularity right now.

7-44 from three and only down 7 at the end of the game. Bad free throw shooting as well. This has to feel sickening for Houston fans.

Back to back seasons Harden basically disappears in their biggest game of the season. 2/13 on 3s.

I wish the NBA would call flagrants on fouls that are off ball and intentional

Was last year the 10 TO game or was that the year before?

Celtics and Houston both go down with terrible shooting nights. A few threes and we have Celtics vs Rockets.

Live by the 3, die by the 3.

Yep.

I'm thinking it was the year before if I'm not mistaken.

So back to back to back years? Lol

I wish professional basketball players that suck at FTs would practice some damn free throws haha

Javale McGhee should be ashamed of himself for that damn rat tail.

Granny style. All these big men who have bad form should be shooting granny. Seems like anybody could shoot 60% that way

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

It's a shame the Rockets lost by 9, the 9 free throws Harden would have made on those 3 missed calls.

They still shouldn't have missed so many damn shots though.

 

[zjcvols]

Ryan Anderson played 8 minutes. He was -12!!! 👀👀👀

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Houston missed 37 3's, most missed ever in an NBA game.

Yessir. Teach them to aim for the backboard. Just no excuse to shoot 50%.

My 7 year old shoots around 50% in-game from the same exact free throw line.

Point taken and I’m 100% with the strategy. It’s just hard to enjoy a game when it becomes that choppy

potentially 10, that 28 footer went in.

Those flailing attempts to kick his leg out and jump into defenders weren't fouls. Harden was trying to get bailed out instead of score. You don't call those b.s. fouls he got in the regular season in a conference finals. Rockets shot way more free throws and got away with even more fouls. They let them play. The Rockets just couldn't hit anything. Same as the Cs the other night

Only one of those 3 missed calls fits that description and he made the shot which they inexplicably took off the scoreboard. I hate Harden's manipulation of the game, but you can't give him those calls all year and then stop on game 7 of the WCF.
