They been ruined the NBA the Rockets was our last hope and that kinda went out the window after this game, but what do you bandwagon fanboys care you just want a title by any means necessary even if it destroys the league.

[@ppppPP6993]

TheMusketITuckedIt I know u are just a pathetic warriors hater. And you guys just dont want to admit how strong the Warriors are. Every time Warriors win just saying them superteam, ruining the NBA. Not every superteam succeed and this team sacrifices for each other so much. I am a Warrior fan since 07 back to Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson. So plz dont call every Warriors fan a bandwagon anymore

[@butskiiueepp1625]

It’s one game, literally anything could happen. I’m still rolling with the warriors in 6 tho 🤷🏽‍♂️

*Game 1 of NBA Finals* Iso vs Ball movement. GSW wins! 👑👑

[@pedrojello8983]

james Harden shot as much as KD and as good as KD percentage wise so don't come for JH it was not the iso ball at all it was the warriors offense nobody can outshoot them period. plus no one was scoring and if he would pass the ball like Lechoke James did vs Celtics they would lose by 25 period. james Harden needs to play like this all series long.

[@NoobGamer-di1dw]

This really isn’t the NBA Finals lol Boston vs GSW would be better than this honestly

[@AdolphSaxOfficial]

Let's be real, Harden be dancin on Centers and scrubs like Wesley Johnson. KD just rains over goddamn everybody.

[@KezDezHanzz]

Datu Puti bawhaha

[@filipiknowfitness6849]

who KD or Harden?

[@oneman9121]

I'm just disgusted by the Rockets iso ball. They literally play street ball where they have one or two players dribble a dozen times and jack up a shot with 3 seconds left. Even if you're not a fan of either team, as a true basketball purist, you have to appreciate the way the Warriors move the ball and play team basketball. I will always side with TEAM BASKETBALL regardless if I'm a fan of your team or not. I'm not a fan of the San Antonio Spurs, but their 2014 NBA Finals display against the Heat was the greatest team basketball performance ever. I hope that when the Golden State Warriors era is over, their influence on ball-movement and team basketball will continue to thrive in the NBA for years to come. Coaches like Brad Stevens, Steve Kerr, Mike Budenholzer, Rick Carlisle, Quinn Snyder, Brett Brown, Luke Walton, and of course Gregg Popovich, will all lead the NBA to the non-iso ball era. I am so proud that the NBA is slowly moving away from isolation basketball.

[@incomparable2554]

@lbTusPeter real fkn talk 100agreed

[@gianlz_]

Factsss

[@veeda21]

Best comment of the era. I love when the team plays like a well oiled machine. ISO is sometimes jaw dropping to watch due to displaying one person amazing talents but team ball is just fun for everyone.

[@qpraulitoqp]

Heat won that nba finals

[@solo4985]

You don’t know the game of basketball at all. It is always going to be isolation plays for certain individual players more so towards superstar caliber players or pure scorers. Almost every NBA coach use isolation to get a self call guaranteed bucket including Steve Kerr. KD is a person they go to for an iso all the time. So you are miss informed and incorrect with this statement. Isolation will be in the NBA for ever it is apart of the game basketball itself.

[@marioyoussef6247]

Klay Thompson is criminally underrated

[@kayeaye9772]

You can build a whole franchise around him

[@hairjordan5603]

Kev Koning wtf does that have to do with anything?

[@oompaloompa5171]

MARIO YOUSSEF klay is not underrated lmfao. Its just that his team is literally stacked with so many all star players that he goes under the radar for gsw

[@marioyoussef6247]

That's my point

[@tomriddlefin2851]

Kev koning that was dumb af Klay is a fucking beast and could carry his own team if he wanted to. He IS criminally underrated

[@mikeyaro229]

Not even a warriors fan but their ball moment and unselfisness is what makes them so lethal ! People forgot that basketball is a team game !

[@josephsaeteurn9158]

to be honest, it's only a team game if you have good surrounding players to make the shots.

[@guitarmatt94]

Agreed

[@maximreality7002]

Warriors are basketball!

[@adams4240]

One pass and then jacking up threes isn’t good team basketball. The warriors and rockets are two of the worst teams to watch in the league, their play styles are ugly. Iso from one team, three point shootout from the other. Boring and ugly basketball, can’t stand either of them.

[@UncleJay27]

Mike Yaro that system the rockets are running is very ugly to watch. One guy has the ball for 15 passes then 5 more seconds later another pass happens, then a shot gets taken with 1 second left. Also, they use too much energy and have to struggle for their shots. They better change it up in game 2 or the series will get very ugly for them.

[@richyuh]

Possibly the greatest offensive series in the 2010s

[@kalonbrown873]

As a Houston fan, I can’t even lie. Warriors put in work. That man KD is unstoppable 😭😭😭

[@stopitskiiiuuup4006]

Tyji Brown IT'S literally nothing you can do!!!! No man in the NBA can guard this DUDE!

[@jedipudu]

Tyji Brown I honestly feel for the Houston fan base. Your team put in the work the whole season and played tonight with a lot of heart. They have to win game 2 or it’s over.

[@troyelam8978]

Tyji Brown I see you got your mind right tonight! Keep it right, and get on this bandwagon! :-)

[@PutYoRhymeOn]

Yea bro, I root for the Rockets as well (not an official fan lol) but I gotta say team basketball over iso.. Harden is super good at it, and that's why he got 41 pts and kept it close. I believe they'll adapt.

[@kalonbrown873]

STOP IT SKIIIUUUP Dude too nice lol. Probably one of the 5 best offensive players the NBA has ever seen IMO.

[@sq6003]

The hype of this game and the game was like a NBA finals they're the best two teams of the league and gave us a big show 💯💯✔

Man that rockets team should’ve got a ring

[@amielmagcawas3158]

They too concentrate with curry. They forgot there’s another curry down there. Silent and smooth non other than Klay Thompson

[@rycelegacy]

Steph with some clutch drive to the basket.

[@andrewithmore7426]

They tried to stop curry from shooting 3's and guess what he did ? He started to drive to the basket. That's my boy.

[@Dubfansince]

Andre Withmore And he shoot a high-percentage doing it. So he proved that if they come up too tight on the perimeter, he can get by and still score against the interior defense or dish to an open shooter. That's a no-win.

[@raskingalaites911]

Thats the art of Outside shooters anyway. If they know you're an outside shooter, they'll go by the perimeter to stop you. Once they do that, the defense has been pierced through. Only a dumb player wouldn't drive even tho there's so much open space in front of him

[@lifeisagift5627]

No cure for curry!

[@gulinp1]

Andre Withmore curry ruins defense of every team by just being potential treat. He forces, with off ball movment teams to play 4 on 4 and in most cases 3 on 4 because 2 guys track him. He is not just best shooter ever, he is ealsy after Shaq biggest defense killer ever. Shaq was too big for 1 defender, even 2, and that left space for others, in similar way 2 defenders have to chase Curry around and that allows others to shine.

[@aeronadraneda7161]

From what I see, they focus on stopping Curry, Klay drops the buckets.

[@yaboykongming164]

iso vs ball movement

[@excalibur9609]

jef thats exactly what this game was. I gave up on houston in 2nd. Team ball or go home.

[@yaboykongming164]

yup, houston's strength is their weakness

[@asdasdasd1708]

it really wasnt fun to watch also.. they come to a halfcourt defense, do a pick to get a switch and then its a iso.

[@MatriouseThaGod2k]

Watch Chris paul latest interview.. He said iso play was the reason they were beating the gsw and had a 3-2 lead on them.. And if cp3 didnt get injured in game 5 the rockets would have won the series in 6.. Every other team with ball movement got swept or lost in 5 to kd warriors.. The only ones to have a lead in 2018 were the rockets.. Hmmm cp3 even admited him self that iso dantoni plays is why they were ahead.. Because fsw were switching everything and by the time you set screens etc.. Draymond green would have switched 4 screens already.. So ball movement never worked against kd gsw ask Lebron.. As i said the reason they lost is because cp3 got inuured and not because of iso..

The Rockets prettymuch played a perfect game to win but yet they end up still losing. Thats how good these Warriors are. In order to beat the Warriors it must be perfect. sometimes even having a perfect game against the Warriors you can still lose. Like i said the only team that can beat the Warriors is the Warriors themselves.

[@rhinorock1325]

The rockets did play good but it’s not the ideal championship formula. You can argue the warriors are too good but what I saw throughout the game was too much iso and standing around. Houston only had 3 fast break points for crying out loud lol

[@ataxcollector695]

Houston is gonna get swept. You can't expect to beat the Warriors 4 times in a 7 game series playing iso ball.

[@jb33rd]

I seen so many cross overs and ankles broke this game like it was a AndOne DVD 😂😂😂

[@Asabuvsobelow]

And Curry is not EVEN close to 100% yet. If Curry gets to 95% you may see three players on a single team break 30 pts in one game. If Houston plays it's A game and Warriors play their A game this series is over in 5 or less. (There is always going to be the one-off possibility), Warriors will have to self-destruct or stumble and Houston will have to play at least above over their average for them to win.

[@jb33rd]

[@mrlionX]

You guys that think the Warriors ruined the NBA. With the exception of KD, the Warriors were forged from the ground up. They never had superstars and the team was never built around it until recently. If you guys don't remember those seasons when half the hampton 5 were around where they either did really bad on regular season or lost in the early playoffs, those years where the Heat, Spurs, and the last championships from the Lakers were at their peak. We were the true underdogs. Don't hate us for supporting success. Don't hate us for ruining the NBA. Stop relying on your superstars and start playing more team ball, the way that it was meant to be played to begin with.

[@jasonmoukala8909]

Spurs, lakers and heat didn’t rely on their stars. They played team ball as well especially spurs

[@Tammyaway]

Basically the Rockets play iso ball and rely on their scorer's raw talent, they're playing it as if it's a 3 point shooting contest. It worked in the regular season but won't work now. GSW on the other hand maximize their performance by playing beautiful team basketball. If this continues it's an easy WCF win for the dubs.

[@Ava-jp4hw]

Lol? KD points all came from iso. KD saved GSW its not because they play team.

[@saurafu]

+Ava. Did you think KD would not get this stat line. He will average 35 points. Just be honest and say the Rockets were not good enough. Did you see the video that KD said "he can't guard me" when Ariza was guarding him. LMAO

[@thisismelv]

Which is a shame because the Rockets have a pretty good roster !

[@UncleJay27]

Tammyaway also, they became too dependent on James Harden. He can't sit for too long or the game gets out of reach, especially against a team like the Warriors.

John Christian Delos Reyes and crackheads think they can quit anytime. Lol warriors and durants are basketball cowards.

They didn't wanna eliminate the competition like the coward warriors

I agree, and I root for the Rockets. I do believe they will make adjustments. It is still the Rockets, they will give all they got.

[@KillMoeM]

The reason why Houston gonna lose is because they play hero ball while GSW play team ball. They better change it up game 2 or that’s their season

yeah Its like asking someone to be good or better, its not automatic lol, they actually can induce some ball movement, but the warriors to me are one of the best team ever, cause they have incredible chemistry and team ball movement, and they also have individuals that can make the difference by themselves, and they have incredible defense too, they are special.

Golden state is too damn good. Make good teams look like a joke. They have everything. Ball movement is definitely their strong suit. They have guys that can create their own shot. They play fast. Good transition defense. They have really good shooters regardless if it's catch and shoot or creating space for their shot. I hate how good curry is he doesn't even need any space and just nails his 3's. How the f do you stop that? They have role players that do their job.You gotta be a moron to think mj could go 6-0 against a team like this. People think he was a god but in reality he went against teams that the warriors would eat for snacks. Peace.

[@panagiotisatmatzidis9972]

No we can't. When the opposite defence has 3 MVP caliber players to focus, you can't in all honesty say that you can see an MVP-shade of whatever. Removing Thompson from the equation would double the defensive efforts on Durant... Right now Durant is *never* double-teamed. In todays game scoring 1o1 is a child's play. Not saying that he is not MVP caliber, just saying that by going to GSW he basically threw that argument off the window by himself. The GSW don't need Durant to win titles, he needs the GSW to win titles...
