Maybe you missed his "did the refs wrong the rockets video" about game 7 rockets vs warriors. No true NBA watcher thinks the refs help the rockets. Even in this game it was one sided. Harden took 6 freethrows.

Warriors deserved this loss simply because of that horrible missed call.

[@ceezb5629]

Unfortunately, it's not a missed call. Being objective here, how many times have we seen NBA officials (on and off the court) bail out GSW? It's laughable. 2019 finals should've been Raptors v Rockets but we all witnessed GSW/Refs rob the Rockets. Sad! I remember when the league was not this corrupt. Make NBA great again!

[@Texan45]

@@ceezb5629 I think the most corrupt ref in NBA history was bar-none Joey Crawford. Asshole gave Tim Duncan 2 technicals for laughing at him on the bench. Shoved a player out of bounds once, and was bossing a court cleaner saying the area wasn't clean enough for him.

Not a Harden fan but the way his team is winning and he is playing I can’t argue it. He has almost single handedly dug the Rockets out of the Western Conference cellar and back into the conversation sans Chris Paul or a trade to get Ariza back. Curry needs to quit deferring to KD, the ball needs to be in Curry’s hands at the end. As for the refs? Love is blind and the refs are in 😍

[@kdummy08]

Also missing Eric Gordon too very important

[@andriagassi]

With GSW lineup now, I think Curry is more dangerous off the ball in clutch situation. KD just have to make better decisions.

great vid loving the content!

[@splashman7918]

great analysis at 5:48. i didn't see that durant should've been called for a charge at first. great video as always Coach

[@travz21]

Kerr is ruining Curry. Dumbass rotations and letting KD iso all game like he's back in OKC. Curry is the offensive GOAT and if the offense isn't running through him the Warriors are simply a very good team compared to an all-time great team with him at the helm.

[@FirstPlace97]

true, but explain Steph's poor shooting??

[@jqa16]

I've been saying this for 2 years kerr is so bad at rotation but he's a great coach great culture but he's so awful at rotating players that fit in.

[@MariE-bz2eq]

To be fair, kd is almost unstoppable at the elbow. Bigs are too slow and guards and other sf's too short. That mid range from 15 is almost guaranteed money.

[@SilkyLew]

Curry is only as good as the team allows him. The gameplan with curry is to get the whole team to screen for you and, as a great shooter, sinks the 3

[@tripleb1436]

[@Heart_ken01]

Latest Sierra Leone Music Both went into OT, both were injured earlier in the game and came back and continued to torch, both hit crucial shots to tie and close the game, both were against KD, and both years KD was going into free agency.

nba refs are just bad at officiating.

[@grandwonder5858]

I think the Rockets would win 65% of the match-ups between the two teams if the refs stop cheating for the Warriors! No doubt about it! Have you watched carefully at how the refs call foul calls for Durant? 78% of the foul calls the refs called against the Rockets players when they tried to defend against Durant are fake fouls made up by those crooked refs in order to give the Warriors an advantage! I don't know how those crooked refs could call a foul on a Rockets player that didn't even touch Durant! I guess, according to these crooked refs, it is an automatic foul if a Rockets player dares to play defense against Durant! Durant must have clear lanes to do whatever he wants and must be left alone wide open to shoot the ball whenever he wants or the refs are going to call foul! It goes like this: "You pesky Rockets want to play D against our vaunted one? Well, we are going to call foul on your asses and let Durant shoot two easy free throws as a punishment for your unwillingness to move out of the way when Durant wants to shoot the ball!" With those kinds of crooked refs, is it a wonder those shady Warriors won are those consecutive championships?

[@FrameByFramePod]

excellent video, really enjoyed the breakdown of it. best game of the year so far. and what a season so far from james harden, especially this recent stretch. he's clearly the front runner for mvp now

[@liquidblue382]

dope commentary bro!

[@Charlie-wl2qt]

Great Breakdown, Coach. As always. It seems to me, the Warriors just panicked in the 4th/overtime. Dare I say Harden was.. Jordan-like here? I mean, Capella played AMAZING but you gotta think this was Harden's doing.. if he can do this more in the playoffs.. The sky is the limit here. I counted the Rockets out(and indeed this was one game only) but after the game... I'm not sure what to think anymore in terms of MVP, how good the Rockets are, how well the Warriors are. The sheer WILL of Harden to bring his team back into the game. That's amazing Keep up the good work, Coach!

[@alixroy4480]

Harden got a lot of us confused as of yesterday. Its like the season will have just begun after yesterdays game... The whole league and teams are questioning themselves now...

[@Charlie-wl2qt]

@@alixroy4480 I agree 110% percent. It really is like that.

If Harden can play some defense as well, he will be the best player in the league. That's all he needs

If OKC picked Harden over Westbrook the Thunder would have won championships by now.

[@matthewmayfield1718]

I hope this is some meme ass comment bruh

[@dre_edits5147]

Why tf would it be clown

[@jackp2696]

That's actually a good what-if, but remember, this is 2012, Westbrook was a proven all-star, Harden was a six man coming of the bench, also, I wouldn't think that they would win championships, deep in the playoff or like one championship apearance

[@cecilwilliams4640]

Westbrook and KD only had 1 playoffs run by themselves because 1 got injured. if Westbrook didn’t get injured in 2014 we might’ve had different champs that year.

[@leanye2808]

Not exactly, as the Rockets organization developed Harden to be its franchise player, if OKC were to keep Harden back in 2012, he won't be as a great offensive player as of today, as the OKC would have kept Harden to be its 3rd and 2nd option if Durant stayed.
