Toyota Center security has been called to break up a fight in the baseline seats that spilled across three rows and involved male and female patrons during fourth quarter of Game 6 between Rockets and Warriors.

don't have any idea what houston's path forward is. not sure they can get better and they're not good enough and they owe chris paul a trillion dollars

So is there any stopping the Warriors ?

dont think houston should have been trapping so aggressively, it really opened things up for the rollers

is there any the warriors stopping giannis? xp

Can he? I don't know, I'm the noob here!

Glad to see them go

im trying to visualize the warriors attempting to guard him and i cant see anything

i think i have giannis ptsd

dray probably the best chance as a one on one defender given his versatility, but yeah theyll have to scheme to throw multiple folks at giannis

think dray might be too small

lmao sick

Stop letting nerds tell you how to play basketball....

Can't wait to read the More analysis of that game's officiating.

fuck daryl morey, chris paul, james harden, and tillman fertita

Melo robbed of his last chance at a ring.

the Houston Rockets have died

sort of a low-key brutal loss. nothing crazy happened. they just...lost.

yeah, im a harden h8r but he played well*, cp3, too. it wasnt missed shots this time, its just a better team beat them.

*i'll say this, it doesnt seem that harden has an extra gear in the playoffs. he plays exactly as he does in the regular season which is obv elite, but other elite players seem to make those pivotal plays while he plays...good. it makes him seem ineffectual even though he's still playing at a high level.

yeah otm

lol what a psycho

wow um i hope he has INSURANCE against that loss haha

lol

lil bastard strikes again he can’t help himself

you honestly gotta respect it

this above all else, to thine own self be true, and it follows as the night the day, thou must be a bastard to everyone else

Y’all I was camping and had no reception so couldn’t finish the game until just now...

Cant believe they won this game with Curry’s first half. Kerr’s best coaching game and everyone delivered at times.

My fav win of the KD era and well uhhhh

Cp should retire lmao that story is amazing Curry’s been his dad since the elevator State Farm ad.

After a performance for the ages he’s still got enough in the tank to fulfill his duties as GM and team psychologist. https://t.co/Q80xPnsA8W

windhorst:

Combined with the Game 5 win when the Warriors overcame Durant's injury thanks to late-game Curry heroics, well, let's just say coach Steve Kerr's postgame moniker of "f---ing giants" was heard throughout the locker room.

As was Chris Paul's name, surrounded by curse words. The Warriors dearly loved this win and they always love beating Paul.

His antics this series were turned up beyond measure. Just looked like a clown out there bouncing off of people trying to cause a scene for 90% of the series. Love that he finally had a good game and curry blew him out with one half of play.

It’s fitting that Paul ends every year with a metaphorical shot to the balls

lol

almost singlehandedly denying chris paul of any real team success for 5+ years justifies the warriors existence on its own

Love how on the huge steal by klay on the lazy harden inbound pass to CP that CPs instinct was to flop rather than go for the loose ball.

jokic starting out really strong, great sign for denver
