2 game 7s in the NHL which started way before the nba playoffs began

I agree
this why nyk fans dont despair ..

These NBA games so bad since bulls, clips, ..spurs
All exited

Cavaliers not tested made mockery of NBA east
Without Cleveland really really being very good in the first place!

Yea the desparity talent wise between Cleveland-Atlanta and GS-Houston is huge compared to the final 4 NHL teams. The NHL teams are all on the same level. Any one of the 4 can win the Cup. No way was Houston & Atlanta winning

the only heartless player is dwight ... everyone else played their balls off and way over their heads

did you see how many offensive rebounds he gave up last night?

How about offensively? Are there worse hands in the NBA?

He is a gross underachiever and soft as pudding.

I stopped watching the NBA a long time ago. When I do check in Dwight impact on the team is huge. Their defense falls apart when he goes to the bench. Maybe he had a rough game yesterday but it's open game against a better team. How did Harden do in this series? Probably well but not good enough. Like smell wxcept he doesn't make $24mil a year

Harden had some great moments and some bad moments (like last night). Overall, he had an excellent post season on a team that without him is a really awful team.

Houston has a number of problems that need to be addressed. When your second best offensive player is Josh Smith, you know that you are inevitably phucked

Bogut had 14 rebounds in 29 minutes and Ezeli who howard was on had 12 points and 9 rebounds.

he got DOMINATED on the offensive glass ... DOMINATED!

He was bad last night in so many areas and Mchale kept talking about how bad "they" were at giving up all those offensive boards.

Dwight had a very mediocre playoffs but who cares ... lets call him a big impact player just because

Well at one point the reporter Doris Burke asked McHale about how does he like DHow's play and he said it was great..Maybe you missed that segment..Seems like you have an agenda bro..Everyone was sayng DHow was good last night except you..His numbers says it too...

everyone says ... that does not work in my book. Every says a lot of things and many who know don't say yet know the truth.

what are you happy about, the 18 points? Look closer ... this is your dominating player? A guy who can't really score without dunking and who shoots a stellar 40% from the foul line?

You are ok with 3 offensive rebounds in a closeout game? We all know how empty defensive rebounds can be.

The center position dominated the boards for GS ... but you missed that.

I know what Mchale said, what should he say when asked about his player? But you do know when he kept talking about offensive rebounds being a primary reason for the loss who he was talking about, right?

everyone says ...

He's trying to protect Harden by blaming it all on Dwight, while paying slight lip service to criticism of Harden to create the pretence of objectivity

you don't have to blame harden, it was pretty obvious how bad he was.

Howard on the other hand was not as obvious to the simple eye. Mchale knows that Howard played badly despite ok numbers.

They both have two years left on their contracts. Ezeli makes about $3 million, Howard makes about $20 million. I feel kinda bad for Harden. He's stuck with Howard for two more years.

The problem isn't DHow..There are two ways the Rockets win games..Harden either goes for 30+, and they win or Harden sits and the team plays team ball and win..Harden has to have the ball and be in the attacking mode to get off and this helps the team..Problem is that no other player get enough touches to get off consistently as well..Its interesting because Harden gets his assist..But Josh, Ariza, Dhow and Brewer gets off as a team when Harden isn't playing..

DHow was hurt half the year and just returned before the playoffs..I think he will be dominant again next year when he is healthy and works on in the summer..
