Houston not winning last night was appalling. I've been rooting for Houston all year to win because of last season. They wet the bed, give all the credit to the Warriors for winning last night.
Houston wet the bed. I dont wish injury on anyone but KD went down. What more do they need? He went down with 6 MINUTES REMAINING, and they had a lead at some point. Curry was in foul trouble, Green was in foul trouble. And somehow Houston STILL didnt find a way to take advantage. This was their chance because they can win game 6, but game 7 at the Oracle will be TOUGH. And i dont see them winning in Oracle.
Boogie out, KD our, Curry dislocated finger, Klay strained knee, Iguodala strained left knee, Livingston shoulder....... and the rockets still can’t win. Literally the only warriors in the rotation without injury are draymond and looney

That's how you calculate probablity but he made up the 70% chance of winning each game out of thin air. In reality, Houston has a higher chance of winning at home so the probability would be more like 70% to win game 6 and 60% to win game 7. Since Houston has to win both games and not just one, their probablity is more like 42% to win BOTH games. Since the Warriors only have to win 1 out of 2, their probability is more like 46% to win EITHER game. 46% > 42% so the Warriors will still be favored to win game 7.
@@MichaelP-ke1tm if that's the case, then gsw has the 30%-40% chance of winning respectively on both games which means they have 12%. The math doesn't adds up
@@babystephena3773 I used an online probability calculator lol. The 12% you calculated means the chance of the Warriors winning BOTH games which is obviously much lower than winning EITHER game 6 or game 7. Anyways, Max was right lol. Warriors just had a better chance to win either game because Rockets had to win 2 in a row which is tough.
Max's math was right...given his random assumption that both independant events would have a 70% chance (0.7/1) of Houston winning. Square it, and you get 49%.
I like how none of the media believe in the warriors without KD... Even though they have killer Klay and the most accurate shooter since Lee Harvey Oswald.. Plus the defensive styles of Iggy and Dray... They'll be okay.. As long as Steph gets his groove back faster than Angela Bassett!
Mf'er the refs are literally handing fouls to Rockets for bs. If it weren't for the refs the game wouldn't have been close. They're saving the Rockets big time
Max's conditional probability math was ridiculous -He says 'assume' 70% and subsequently 70% rockets take the W? ....change that to 85% and subsequently 60% you get a 51% chance of winning.#moronic
Please get it done. Ws have been one of the luckiest teams in the history of the NBA. Im sure they weren't sad when Kyrie & Love, Kawhi, and CP3 went out. Im definitely not sad a lil bad luck has turned their way. GET IT DONE.
Yea I would not be surprised if Houston loses game 6 at home. I agree, little to NO excuse for losing that damn game after the KD injury. It’s like they just expected they’d automatically win when he went down
SAS right they beat these dudes with KD on the damn court. IDGAF bout those All-Star excuses y’all gonna make Cuz Steph & Klay been playing like shit. Man If Harden, Cp3, and the rest of the Rockets lose they’re frauds on god.
LD51 You’ve gotta be kidding me. Last year they up 3-2 even though CP3 hurt I’ll give u that but they were up in both Game 6 AND 7 late in those game and choked. Now with KD hurt, Boogie hurt, old man Iggy, no depth, Steph and Klay playing like shit. If they choke away this golden opportunity it’s not a stretch to call them frauds come on now. They were supposed to win last night and they have to win this damn series.
Absolutely wrong. Chris Broussard said it best. Kevin Durant is a luxury to the Warriors, not a necessity. With KD playing, Warriors tend to defer. Without KD, the Warriors play a better brand of basketball.
You will see that on the road when the warriors will have not the energy of the oracle. We will see kevon looney and the other trash player of the bench if the will play with the same energy. Look i tell you that now, game 6 its a 30 point win for rockets.
Roni Mathew wrong. Only once this playoffs that all three kd steph and klay shot good. It’s usually kd and either one of the splash brothers not all three. So now if one of the splash brothers are off. More than likely their going to get obliterated. And if their both off then where will the offense come from? It’s gut check time for both teams gsw if they lose game six, game seven is a toss up.
@@roseblack7296 the warriors will win only if harden chockes like he did in 2017 when leonard was out and he chocked game 6 of semi finale. Lasr night harden chocked in the fourth 3 points, how you can win if your best player score 3 point in a quarter. Even the nets would beat the rockets with this james harden. Harden under pressure is a chocker we all know and this the only chance for the warriors
What has gotten into Max? I thought he loved Houston, said Warriors were vulnerable, said Rockets were more hungry etc. Now KD is gone and CP3 is good to go he says Houston still has excuses?
Gs can have a winners mentality or a losers mentality. The winner mentality is realizing all you need is for the collective group to play 1 good game to move on and regroup for the next series. Be the first to win on the road. The losers mentality is play game 6 like you got home court advantage for game 7. Coming out the gate Friday already defeated by the hustle plays from Tucker and Rivers and letting either Gordon or Harden go off for a 25 point half.
Very true. Not impossible to win a game 7 but going to Houston with the genuine intent to close is a must. Even if Houston defends home in that game, setting the tone effort wise is a must. GS has been incredibly lax in regards to 50/50 balls and such. That can't happen anymore. That said, if Houston doesn't win the series....ooooof
Fasho bruhh. If i was gsw ,i would put all of my energy into game 6 to avoid game 7 at all cost. Like i trust gsw could win game 7 but at that point it's wayyyy more pressure and you can't afford to have a bad game
The Rockets and Warriors are now equally matched. The Rockets will go as far as Chris Paul go. They can't beat the Warriors with CP3 putting up only 14 points a game.
@jamar reid Steph can give you 50 on any given night. So can Klay Thompson. Draymond is good for 10-20 points on average. So is iggy on any given night. Rockets: James Harden 30-50 points guaranteed. Everyone else on the Rockets is good but not a guaranteed. Just look at Capela. This guy finished the other night with 6 points. Not to mention Chris Paul. Chris Paul finished with 13 points meanwhile curry dropped 30. If either Capela or CP3 did their job they would have won game 5. Chris Paul should be averaging atleast 25+ points right now. Rockets waited a whole year to get a shot at the Warriors again just for Chris Paul to only be dropping bench player numbers. I feel sorry for Harden if this nonsense continues. The Warriors will crush them. I want the Rockets to win but I'm not going to play blind to the nonsense that's happening.
@jamar reid Hell nah he ain't better than Klay. Why because he flops and gets to the line all the time? Oh I get it, it's because Harden is the first option on his team and has the ball 95% of the time. Foh.
@@RyanMrTsunamiBishop lmao klay better than harden. That some cheese. Klay cant carry a team full of injuries in regular season but Harden did. Even if the key players of rockets is injured, Harden carried them bum ass from 14th seed to 4th seed
@jamar reid I don't care, I don't think he's better that's all that matters. You believe what you believe and I believe what I believe and that's the end of it. I'm not about to keep goin back & forth about it. We don't agree and never will.
This is why I hate sports talk sometimes, just cause the warriors lost KD who is their best player, they are still extremely formidable without him. Stephen A acts like the rockets should bulldoze the warriors two games in a row because no KD. The warriors have better team chemistry and ball movement without kd, not a better team but a better team chemistry. Don't forget about last night that was old golden state warriors basketball, steph and klay showing out and doing their thing. Continually during the regular season without KD we saw the Warriors play like a better team evident by their better record without kd. Kd is the best player but Steph is the engine of this team. Steph is the most important player by far and it is for good reason as the offense is built around him. I would bet big money that the warriors are going to close it out in game 6 and look great mark my words
Yeah no. The bottom line is the Warriors have no depth and no shooting outside of their starting lineup. With KD and Cousins our, there’s no reason the Rockets with an MVP, future Hall famer, plus more depth and shooting shouldn’t beat an injured Warriors team unless they choke
Bro stephen a smith is saying houston has no excuse to lose because they just beat the warriors 2 times in a row with kd balling he aint there they have no excuse stephen a also said that the warriors can win because of steph and klay can go crazy he didn't doubt the warriors he just saying kd gone and the rockets are fully healthy it ain't no excuse for them not to win
@@postal1342 ay what did I say bro warriors did it and the rockets didnt choke the warriors played their hearts out, defending champs don't go out so easy
if KD is out BOTH teams have no excuse not to win. GS still has it's original 3 stars & HOU doesn't have to worry about KD dropping 35+ (that's if he is actually out, at this moment idk if he's out)
GS has an excuse bruh. KD is out who was their best player, Cousins who was the double down insurance policy caught an injury, early. The bench isn't what it was and their original breadwinners are older and have to carry more of a load. Houston is healthy and threw the refs and cp3 excuse all last postseason. Stop. Their chance gets no better than this if we think of what both teams are healthy.
Barring some shady refs, Golden State is going to send Houston fishing on Friday. That team has a different mindset when they don't have KD. Everyone steps up and Curry is going to find his shot again.
Big J yeah that’s how I know. Look at their win percentage without Durant and then look at their win percentage without Curry. Curry is EVERYTHING to the warriors. Durant is just extra but if Curry plays to his normal standard they can win again.
Niel Jon Fabillar He didn’t last night. Durant again wasn’t needed. All I’m saying, I don’t look at what ifs, I just see GS almost ALWAYS win without KD. Yet people say KD is the best cause he helps them win. We ALL know Kawhi and Giannis could do the same thing and win with EASE in GS I’d replaced.
@@JTLuxxHD Explain why they rekt the same Cavs team that came back from a 3-1 lead even though the warriors lost depth, why cuz Kevin durant ur a dumbass if u really think they better without him espc in playoffs
OK, that's it... I'm not listening to Max anymore... I think Max takes pleasure in making silly arguments. Just 2 days ago Max said, if KD ain't there, the Rockets will win.

@@eatyoursalad8648 that is true Beverly was the rockets pg in that series. If they spread the ball and out rebound gsw then they could win the series if they don't its over with
Better warriors team. Deeper. Rockets not so deep. Cp3 was still with the clippers then. Warriors escaped having to play the Spurs because the clipper put them out. Wait a min... I KNOW were not talking about 2015 as if anything that transpired between the rockets and the warriors THEN can even be compared to today. That warriors team beat up on a gassed Houston team that CP3 and blake Griffin took to seven HARD games. Gsw caked passed a Memphis squad that had no perimeter game in 5. That's a whole week of rest, mind you they swept the pelicans pretty easily that first round too. THAT warriors team was 10 deep and full of fresh young bodies. THAT rockets team still had fucking Dwight Howard. FOH 😂
Stephen A. seems to forget this team (GSW) was made and runs around S.Curry not KD. And by the way, this scenario should bring the best of S.Curry and Klay Thompson, like long time ago they did against OKC.
A great use of compound odds: (70/100 ) x (70/100) x 100 = 49%. It demonstrates that even majority favourites to win Game 6 and Game 7, back-to-back, remain underdogs. So, what matters is how big a favourite they are given a 70% Mendoza Line.
The warriors thrive when they're backed against the wall, they're heading to a 5th straight NBA finals, in the western conference as well. That's far, more impressive than LeBrons easy route in the east used to be.

Capela can u improve ur free throws nene is better than u at them
Retro Robbie, I'm with you 100%.. Sit Capela down. If that doesn't happen and they blow it, time for a new coach and system.
did Max just multiply the Rockets odds for both game to get the total odd percentage???? lmao
That's how you calculate probablity but he made up the 70% chance of winning each game out of thin air.
In reality, Houston has a higher chance of winning at home so the probability would be more like 70% to win game 6 and 60% to win game 7.
Since Houston has to win both games and not just one, their probablity is more like 42% to win BOTH games.
Since the Warriors only have to win 1 out of 2, their probability is more like 46% to win EITHER game.
46% > 42% so the Warriors will still be favored to win game 7.
it only works if they're independent, which is not at all the case. the same players playing the same game is not independent
@@MichaelP-ke1tm if that's the case, then gsw has the 30%-40% chance of winning respectively on both games which means they have 12%. The math doesn't adds up
@@babystephena3773
I used an online probability calculator lol.
The 12% you calculated means the chance of the Warriors winning BOTH games which is obviously much lower than winning EITHER game 6 or game 7.
Anyways, Max was right lol. Warriors just had a better chance to win either game because Rockets had to win 2 in a row which is tough.
Max's math was right...given his random assumption that both independant events would have a 70% chance (0.7/1) of Houston winning. Square it, and you get 49%.
They lost game 6 without kd... what a shame
Dam Steven A's speech actually got me pumped up! Lol.
Chris Paul is playing ass with no injury.. Warriors in 6.. y’all be blessed!
I have to come back to this
wisc cheese yea I’ll be back this Friday
It’s a blessing for the Rockets if they win games 6 and 7.
gs will win this series,and go on to win a championship with or without kd. #get ready for the 3 peat because it's happening
swoop G hopefully not I want to go back to respecting the NBA champions, not getting that with the Warriors
SAS is right... max stop with this damn numbers
Houston is now or never
Never 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like how none of the media believe in the warriors without KD... Even though they have killer Klay and the most accurate shooter since Lee Harvey Oswald.. Plus the defensive styles of Iggy and Dray... They'll be okay.. As long as Steph gets his groove back faster than Angela Bassett!
Lmfaooo yoooo Lee Harvey tho lmaooo
No they not winning without KD
Tayda Franklin lmaooooo not Lee Harvey
@L.A. Bry it was a completely different team. Not nearly as talented.
The warriors are front loaded. They don’t have a bench what’s so ever. It’s going to be hard without KD.
KD out means a ton of moving screens will be back just like the 15-16 season
thats actually true
You mention it as if Houston doesn't do the same thing now, trying to get a mismatch for Harden.
With Klay And Curry probably aint resting loll ok
Mf'er the refs are literally handing fouls to Rockets for bs. If it weren't for the refs the game wouldn't have been close. They're saving the Rockets big time
@@c.kizzee8961 what about hardens and cp3 flops then... refs were bad both teams
Max's conditional probability math was ridiculous -He says 'assume' 70% and subsequently 70% rockets take the W? ....change that to 85% and subsequently 60% you get a 51% chance of winning.#moronic
The numbers dont lie and they spell disaster for the warriors in game 6
because giving the rockets a 70% chance for both games is being generous
RIGHT!... STILL COULDNT BEAT WARRIORS WITH KD DOWN!!
U pay attention to this bum? His logic drives me nuts.
Yeah, 51%. Is the series over?😂
I came back here to say Warriors won without KD and an injured Steph vs a healthy Houston team. Let that sink in. Deal with it. No excuses.
Max legitimately made up random numbers and used that as his argument. 🤦♂️
Max already setting up the excuse factory 🤦🏿♂️
Facts
I showed this video to my dog.......
and now he's jacked.
Thnx stephen a.
James Harden. If you can't beat G.S. without KD. You ain't no MVP.
Thyrone Terry well the championship goes through this team. So he better care.
ESAXTOY
ESACTLY
That’s not how mvp works
They where losing to GS before KD joined. How easy ppl forget. No KD? No problem.

Stephen A Smith is right if The Houston Rockets lose this series i dont wanna hear shit from James Harden Chris Paul or Clint Capela
Or their fans.
The splash brothers & Draymond are about to show why they a 73-9 winning team. Golden State in 6
KZ1994able & choke ? 💀 blow a 3-1 in the conference finals or finals ? 💀 wining team? 💀 you delusional asf
Allmightysosajr ur right 100000000%
Not the same team. That 73 win team was deep.
This team doesn't even use their bench. They double Curry or Klay... then what?
What was yaw sayin? lmao Listen when i tell u about basketball
Get it done Houston! For the love of everything, get it done!!
Please get it done. Ws have been one of the luckiest teams in the history of the NBA. Im sure they weren't sad when Kyrie & Love, Kawhi, and CP3 went out. Im definitely not sad a lil bad luck has turned their way. GET IT DONE.
Lets go Rockets!!!!🚀🚀🚀🚀

The Warriors play better without KD. Ball moves much more and Steph becomes more lethal.
Facts
So why they bought him to beat lebron n cavs,they scared of him
Amadou Kane I said they PLAY better not that they are better.
Yea I would not be surprised if Houston loses game 6 at home. I agree, little to NO excuse for losing that damn game after the KD injury. It’s like they just expected they’d automatically win when he went down
SAS right they beat these dudes with KD on the damn court. IDGAF bout those All-Star excuses y’all gonna make Cuz Steph & Klay been playing like shit. Man If Harden, Cp3, and the rest of the Rockets lose they’re frauds on god.
Whole Lotta Gang Shit FACTS 🗣
Whole Lotta Gang Shit Chris Paul fucker better get his boat together to win.....
Yall exaggerate every god damn thing, calm the fuck down. If they lose theres no excuse but there not frauds lmao
LD51 You’ve gotta be kidding me. Last year they up 3-2 even though CP3 hurt I’ll give u that but they were up in both Game 6 AND 7 late in those game and choked. Now with KD hurt, Boogie hurt, old man Iggy, no depth, Steph and Klay playing like shit. If they choke away this golden opportunity it’s not a stretch to call them frauds come on now. They were supposed to win last night and they have to win this damn series.
GSW more dangerous when the splash brothers get the main show again
Absolutely wrong. Chris Broussard said it best. Kevin Durant is a luxury to the Warriors, not a necessity. With KD playing, Warriors tend to defer. Without KD, the Warriors play a better brand of basketball.
You will see that on the road when the warriors will have not the energy of the oracle. We will see kevon looney and the other trash player of the bench if the will play with the same energy. Look i tell you that now, game 6 its a 30 point win for rockets.
Roni Mathew wrong. Only once this playoffs that all three kd steph and klay shot good. It’s usually kd and either one of the splash brothers not all three. So now if one of the splash brothers are off. More than likely their going to get obliterated. And if their both off then where will the offense come from? It’s gut check time for both teams gsw if they lose game six, game seven is a toss up.
soufiane bachkata keep that same energy
@@soufianebachkata1987 so if warriors win in 6 keep that same energy
@@roseblack7296 the warriors will win only if harden chockes like he did in 2017 when leonard was out and he chocked game 6 of semi finale. Lasr night harden chocked in the fourth 3 points, how you can win if your best player score 3 point in a quarter. Even the nets would beat the rockets with this james harden. Harden under pressure is a chocker we all know and this the only chance for the warriors
Why is People acting like GS is not still a force without Durant?
Because they're getting their "steph was injured " excuse ready for the 3rd year in a row
GAMING WITH ACE exactly
The bench can't score for shit
GAMING WITH ACE because they don’t have a bench anymore? They had to give it up in order to get kd
Also they can't win if steph or klay has an off night
Absolutely right Stephen A.
What has gotten into Max? I thought he loved Houston, said Warriors were vulnerable, said Rockets were more hungry etc. Now KD is gone and CP3 is good to go he says Houston still has excuses?
Gs can have a winners mentality or a losers mentality. The winner mentality is realizing all you need is for the collective group to play 1 good game to move on and regroup for the next series. Be the first to win on the road.
The losers mentality is play game 6 like you got home court advantage for game 7. Coming out the gate Friday already defeated by the hustle plays from Tucker and Rivers and letting either Gordon or Harden go off for a 25 point half.
Very true. Not impossible to win a game 7 but going to Houston with the genuine intent to close is a must. Even if Houston defends home in that game, setting the tone effort wise is a must.
GS has been incredibly lax in regards to 50/50 balls and such. That can't happen anymore. That said, if Houston doesn't win the series....ooooof
Facts
You should be a coach
Fasho bruhh. If i was gsw ,i would put all of my energy into game 6 to avoid game 7 at all cost. Like i trust gsw could win game 7 but at that point it's wayyyy more pressure and you can't afford to have a bad game
MrAVGNdude well said man.
My guys did ittttttttttt💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙WARRIORS
The Rockets and Warriors are now equally matched. The Rockets will go as far as Chris Paul go. They can't beat the Warriors with CP3 putting up only 14 points a game.
@jamar reid Steph can give you 50 on any given night. So can Klay Thompson. Draymond is good for 10-20 points on average. So is iggy on any given night. Rockets: James Harden 30-50 points guaranteed. Everyone else on the Rockets is good but not a guaranteed. Just look at Capela. This guy finished the other night with 6 points. Not to mention Chris Paul. Chris Paul finished with 13 points meanwhile curry dropped 30. If either Capela or CP3 did their job they would have won game 5. Chris Paul should be averaging atleast 25+ points right now. Rockets waited a whole year to get a shot at the Warriors again just for Chris Paul to only be dropping bench player numbers. I feel sorry for Harden if this nonsense continues. The Warriors will crush them. I want the Rockets to win but I'm not going to play blind to the nonsense that's happening.
@jamar reid Harden is not better than Klay and Gordon is definitely not better than Iggy. Lay off the drugs yo.
@jamar reid Hell nah he ain't better than Klay. Why because he flops and gets to the line all the time? Oh I get it, it's because Harden is the first option on his team and has the ball 95% of the time. Foh.
@@RyanMrTsunamiBishop lmao klay better than harden. That some cheese. Klay cant carry a team full of injuries in regular season but Harden did. Even if the key players of rockets is injured, Harden carried them bum ass from 14th seed to 4th seed
@jamar reid I don't care, I don't think he's better that's all that matters. You believe what you believe and I believe what I believe and that's the end of it. I'm not about to keep goin back & forth about it. We don't agree and never will.
Even if the Rockets manage to beat the Warriors, they ain’t winning against the Bucks or Raptors
I agree. I think they'd lose to denver if they beat Portland especially because of a let down
Austin claw they would kill the nuggets
Austin claw are u fucking dumb? They would destroy the nuggets and raptors
Take A Walk With Me your clearly high 😂. If they can beat warriors, any other team is snacks

Dude was straight up missing open put-backs 😬
This is why I hate sports talk sometimes, just cause the warriors lost KD who is their best player, they are still extremely formidable without him. Stephen A acts like the rockets should bulldoze the warriors two games in a row because no KD. The warriors have better team chemistry and ball movement without kd, not a better team but a better team chemistry. Don't forget about last night that was old golden state warriors basketball, steph and klay showing out and doing their thing. Continually during the regular season without KD we saw the Warriors play like a better team evident by their better record without kd. Kd is the best player but Steph is the engine of this team. Steph is the most important player by far and it is for good reason as the offense is built around him. I would bet big money that the warriors are going to close it out in game 6 and look great mark my words
Yeah no. The bottom line is the Warriors have no depth and no shooting outside of their starting lineup. With KD and Cousins our, there’s no reason the Rockets with an MVP, future Hall famer, plus more depth and shooting shouldn’t beat an injured Warriors team unless they choke
RECORDS WILL BE SET!!!!!!!!!
The way I see it A. is saying that if rockets lose now they won't have any excuses left like cp being injured or blah blah.
Bro stephen a smith is saying houston has no excuse to lose because they just beat the warriors 2 times in a row with kd balling he aint there they have no excuse stephen a also said that the warriors can win because of steph and klay can go crazy he didn't doubt the warriors he just saying kd gone and the rockets are fully healthy it ain't no excuse for them not to win
@@postal1342 ay what did I say bro warriors did it and the rockets didnt choke the warriors played their hearts out, defending champs don't go out so easy
Crazy to think the warriors still have a couple stars without KD in the lineup ..

The Houston Rocket 🚀 would be the most useless A list team if the fail to win this series.
Useless is the wrong word, u meant dissapointing.
Indeed they are
Golden state is actually better as a team without KD. This is not to say KD isn't the best player on the team.
People forget that there was no iguodala from the start of the series last year.
Aayush Jaiswal exactly I think dubs still take this
if KD is out BOTH teams have no excuse not to win. GS still has it's original 3 stars & HOU doesn't have to worry about KD dropping 35+ (that's if he is actually out, at this moment idk if he's out)
Its amazing how people calling draymond a star now but throughout the regular season he was "trash"
GS has an excuse bruh. KD is out who was their best player, Cousins who was the double down insurance policy caught an injury, early. The bench isn't what it was and their original breadwinners are older and have to carry more of a load. Houston is healthy and threw the refs and cp3 excuse all last postseason. Stop. Their chance gets no better than this if we think of what both teams are healthy.
GS have an excuse stop trying to justify Houston losing.
Tech For Staring idk why niggas still think it's the same team from 3 years ago lol
Awesomiser D facts lol
Boogie out kd out Max : I still think it’s unfair 😒
I love watching this clip over and over
I can already feel the force in Stephen a’s position in the thumbnail
Barring some shady refs, Golden State is going to send Houston fishing on Friday. That team has a different mindset when they don't have KD. Everyone steps up and Curry is going to find his shot again.
And that he did
I mean that warriors team without KD is just as good tho lol...
Do u even watch basketball
Big J yeah that’s how I know. Look at their win percentage without Durant and then look at their win percentage without Curry. Curry is EVERYTHING to the warriors. Durant is just extra but if Curry plays to his normal standard they can win again.
The problem is if curry fades again. Yes we know his standards but with his gameplay this series, are we sure we can see the curry we all know?
Niel Jon Fabillar He didn’t last night. Durant again wasn’t needed. All I’m saying, I don’t look at what ifs, I just see GS almost ALWAYS win without KD. Yet people say KD is the best cause he helps them win. We ALL know Kawhi and Giannis could do the same thing and win with EASE in GS I’d replaced.
@@JTLuxxHD Explain why they rekt the same Cavs team that came back from a 3-1 lead even though the warriors lost depth, why cuz Kevin durant ur a dumbass if u really think they better without him espc in playoffs
If the Rockets lose this series they should BLOW EVERYTHING UP!! 😂🤯
should trade CP3 and get D rose and sign PG as well
1:02 should be a meme
he acts like they're not playing a top 3 point guard of all time
so we just gonna ignore them having "TWO OF TOP5 SHOOTERS IN NBA HISTORY" (insert Stephen A over the top screaming)
but curry usually sucks during the playoffs
OK, that's it... I'm not listening to Max anymore... I think Max takes pleasure in making silly arguments. Just 2 days ago Max said, if KD ain't there, the Rockets will win.
Man, I stopped listening to this foo a long time ago. He doesn't come off as sincere in his beliefs. He's more of the type to argue for the sake of arguing.
So we just gonna ignore the fact that the warriors won a championship without KD a few years back. Beating the rockets in the conference finals
Houston was a different team back then, then Kyrie and Love got injured. That's how they won.
@@eatyoursalad8648 that is true Beverly was the rockets pg in that series. If they spread the ball and out rebound gsw then they could win the series if they don't its over with
Better warriors team. Deeper. Rockets not so deep. Cp3 was still with the clippers then. Warriors escaped having to play the Spurs because the clipper put them out.
Wait a min... I KNOW were not talking about 2015 as if anything that transpired between the rockets and the warriors THEN can even be compared to today. That warriors team beat up on a gassed Houston team that CP3 and blake Griffin took to seven HARD games. Gsw caked passed a Memphis squad that had no perimeter game in 5.
That's a whole week of rest, mind you they swept the pelicans pretty easily that first round too.
THAT warriors team was 10 deep and full of fresh young bodies.
THAT rockets team still had fucking Dwight Howard.

As long as james harden nvr cheat or even a flopper
I am pretty sure warriors can take down rockets
the prick CP3 also a flopper and has dirty antics...
Curry the biggest flopper of them all

@Andrew Bullard: You crazy....Stephen A argues just to argue!!!!!!
Let’s not get it twisted the warriors still the better team sorry 🤷♂️
Warriors 3 to 1 dogs on betting line. Get on it!
Stephen A. seems to forget this team (GSW) was made and runs around S.Curry not KD.
And by the way, this scenario should bring the best of S.Curry and Klay Thompson, like long time ago they did against OKC.
FACTS! 💯
A great use of compound odds: (70/100 ) x (70/100) x 100 = 49%. It demonstrates that even majority favourites to win Game 6 and Game 7, back-to-back, remain underdogs. So, what matters is how big a favourite they are given a 70% Mendoza Line.
