There can only be one I’m not a rockets fan but the rockets need someone better than d’antoni man.

[@TheUltimateRage]

I disagree with yall. Rockets actually played pretty well; just a couple plays didnt go their way down the stretch. Warriors rallied at home after KD went down. Now they go back to Houston and have to keep up that same energy for 48 minutes instead of just a half. Notice how Harden had arguably his most efficient game last night and wasnt even that aggressive in scoring, getting an easy 30 piece. Role players play better at home, wo look for CP, EG and PJ to have good performances. Look for Harden to continue being efficient and have another solid scoring performance. Hopefully Capella shows up, but if not Rockets can go small with Rivers like they've done the past couple games. This series is going to 7 and Game 7 will hopefully be an epic classic!

This is more about Houston choking than the Warriors being able to sustain without KD. Harden was lackadaisical AF after KD left the game. I was watching this man literally walking on the court every possession, constantly deferring, and not getting shots up.

[@razkable]

duh....he took 16 shots...3 in the 4th..wtf man for a guy who hit 10 and was a scoring machine this year avg. 36...he just took the 4th off and it shows...

[@soullessSiIence]

"The icing just became the cake" That's a strong line, fellas.

[@acerock421]

capela said he wants the warriors again but dude is playing scared.

[@producedbykhireyakeem4340]

I swear bro

[@SomPrince]

Even if Klay and Steph get 75, they need points from elsewhere. It used to come from one of the best benches in the league

[@magnussimms6384]

As a Celtics fan, I am not MATOUR enough to watch all of the Celtics/Kyrie videos being uploaded today

[@TheUltimateRage]

The Celtics slander is on 20 today smh.......

[@poetrhode]

Chris Broussard is talking facts.

[@Hypotheticals_Are_Pointless]

I need to see them play a couple games before I judge.

We’ll gladly take the luxury here in NYC

[@emanuelefavero]

These Warriors without KD are NOT that 73-9 team. They're missing solid bench players like McGee, D West, Barbosa, younger Shaun/Iggy, fresh legs for Curry/Dray/Klay. They depleted their depth to get KD and Cousins and now they're both out.

[@razkable]

mcgee and west weren't on that 2016 team..you are an idiot fraud.....barnes and a younger bogut and iggy and shaun and like you said barbosa were but you missed both speights ezili and clark were and that was the bench mostly who did anything of note...

[@emanuelefavero]

@@razkable yeah, I know they weren't. But they still missing them...

[@emanuelefavero]

@@razkable ezeli, barnes and speights were negatives in the 2016 finals, that's why I didn't mention them. But you're right even them could help now.

[@314STICKY]

Nothing but facts from Chris Brussard

[@raymondmunoz7211]

They played a quarter without him imagine a whole game

[@deacontheseer4804]

Hope you right

[@razkable]

they scored 30 in the 4th without him..lets see them do that 4 times cause they need 120 to win in game 6...

[@dannykee7462]

I don't understand why these analysts leave out certain specifics, GSW 73-9 team had more depth, and this version is not that deep....GSW gonna have their hands full

[@htownrockets7084]

Warriors are up 3-2 with home court advantage and they got the top 4 players from their 2016 core so there's no excuse for them not to win

[@joshuamcclellan4942]

We will see. That bench isn't nearly as deep as it was before KD came

[@OGGOAT23]

Kd boogs out

[@kuhfusskatsadventures]

Nice narrative you’re trying to create 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@zDerezzed]

If any team has no excuse for losing it's the choking Rockets.

[@christianray7307]

Lmao are you seriously making excuses for the rockets already if they lose to this kd-less warriors team what a joke

[@xordus]

Thank God for Chris Broussard. Honestly. He's the only person on TV that is actually objective about basketball. He doesn't care about views, or popularity, or fitting in, or the larger narrative. He cares about reality. Thank God he's around to speak the truth. He's basically the anti-Skip/Stephen A

[@thomasveal3351]

One quarter of basketball proved this point? REALLY!?

[@treysimpson9279]

Look up warriors record without KD since he joined

[@himeyalvaradoslaying]

I can tell you don't watch basketball at all. Probably watch these videos and highlights an call yourself a fan of the NBA. Smh

[@trutru9018]

Thomas Veal It's Broussard, don't expect greatness. He's weak like this, just says anything. Wait until next game

[@zerokool-2058]

Thomas Veal Lol Media.

[@CesarSanchez-et7qg]

@@treysimpson9279 I will look at tomorrow's game and see how badly the gsw will lose without KD

[@NicoSavage]

Klay Thompson shooting more than 20x and not just scraps will always be the reason the warriors win. He's unstoppable

[@jeremyconable3264]

This is like the only time I agree with skip bayless

[@Fonthandler]

Warriors adapt better than any team. All of their starters have been out at some point this season.

[@lakersin556]

If he wasn't in for the 2-1/2 quarters he was in, I don't think they would've won that game. They clearly need him in my opinion.

[@OthoWilliamsJr]

💯💯💯💯

[@nowaytayj561]

KingCo Anderson all speculation thats yo opinion

[@TruckerLerone]

Clearly you don’t pay attention to the past! KD is not necessary

[@jamesperrone5985]

Lerone Williams the bench isn’t as deep but I still think they can pull it off

[@elevenmedia4677]

and game 6???? whats the excuse for that one

[@booojee4]

CP3 is struggling, but Harden only scored 4 points

[@JayT8823]

lmao i love how they flip flop everyday everyone knows kd is the reason they are back to back champs

[@fotuto13]

And Steph and Klay are the only reason KD has a couple of rings instead of 0.

[@challiray]

Thank you Chris!

[@Niceguy1510]

Man I remember when the warriors were the underdog and everybody was cheering for them... then overnight they became the villains all my Bay Area cats know exactly what I'm talking about

[@123nowguy]

Axum ገብረመድሂን it’s because of all the wave of fake fans they got

[@jtreezy8410]

It’s because of that hater bandwagon too

[@snippyduda]

They were already villains before kd came, last time they were underdogs was in 2015 when they beat the Cavs

[@haywood0457]

It happened when KD. I used to like Ws but KDs move was so weak I began disliking them.

[@Hypotheticals_Are_Pointless]

They became the villain when they beat Bron the first time and at the same time changed how basketball was played. 2015 they were saying how The Warriors ruined basketball with their 3 point shootouts.

[@jazzcookmusic5677]

Its amazing how on Broussard is with his points. The Dubs are a better team without Durant.

[@iali00]

The Warriors lose the last two championships without KD. I hope KD is ok.

[@risersin7957]

Or they win it a different way. Who can really tell? I mean did they get swept in 2016 so we know for a fact they can't win a game against Cleveland anymore?

[@iali00]

Riser Sin the Warriors were the first team to lose a 3-1 lead in the finals. The Cavs had figured them out.

[@RipleyandSwoo]

There is a reason that Vegas has Warriors as favorites next season even with Durant being in NY. GS needs to bolster the roster with some role players and bench players and just keep the splash Bros. I wanna see MVP Curry!

[@lemar2122]

I remember the Numbers said The Raptors are better without Kawhi.. The Warriors showed us they can win 1 quarter. But can they win a full game.

[@nbafan3021]

I am a shamed of our fans. I'm a Warrior's fan and I am ashamed of our fans for saying Curry plays better without Durant and how we don't need Durant. Some times I think it is not genuine Warriors fans saying these things. Probably some Lebron worshippers pretending to be Warriors fans. Because we all know Curry and Klay are NOT going to play well for all 4 rounds, and we all know our bench sucks. Durant we desperately need.

[@djack39]

NBA FAN lol how did you find a way to blame lebron ?

[@lastofthestarmakers6800]

@Cyrill TreyGod he doesn't make the offense worse. This narrative against KD man smh. Klay and Steph literally has been getting so many open shots this postseason. We know when they get going they are pretty much unbeatable. But what happens if they both can't make shots? They have KD to fill in that offensive void when they both are shooting horribly. KD moves the ball all the the man is averaging 6 assist per game.

[@sheltondmello8031]

They prolly can at home in game 7 but not the finals or against denver

[@VOLAIRE]

0:00 When your mom wakes you up for school

[@henryix9229]

We’ll see in Game 6 how much of a “Necessity” he is. He played damn near 3 quarters. Let’s see the entire game.

[@NehemiahHickman]

Steph putting up 34-40

[@mousepotatoc2566]

He right. When/if KD leaves, superstars will take his place.
