Think it's a shame Kawhi went down but the Warriors were so good that I'm pretty sure they win that series anyways. Would've lost game 1 though. Not the case this year, Rockets look just as good as them and if they win because of no CP3 then that's an actual asterisk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Curry not be a 3x champ anymore, or Durant won't be a 2x champ? How's that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Mobley saying Harden needs to work in some mid range game and even post up since his game is too predictable right now. I doubt he does it this series, but interested in seeing if next year he adjusts his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 15 years from now people wouldn't even remember. It's just a "Warriors 2018 champions*" *but CP3 got injured when they were down 2-3 to Houston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is always said but what does it truly mean? Just side notes when mentioning that particular title? Is there still an asterisk if he doesn't play game 6 but returns for game 7 and plays fairly well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtait93 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 This was my main reservation with Houston. I know I and atleast 1 other poster in here brought up Paul’s injury history during the beginning of the season. As much as I wasn’t expecting it, unfortunately it should have been pretty predictable when you consider his past. It sucks but the guy just seems to have the injury bug come playoff time. It was a great run this year Houston. MAYBE you have a shot if Iggy misses games 6 and 7 and Houston goes bonkers from the 3 point line or Harden goes infinity gauntlet Thanos mode one of these games, but I think GS gets healthy and uses game 6 to get their groove back with a full lineup and a missing CP3 which will also propel them to a pretty decisive game 7 victory. Hope I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me at least, but I'm sure it means different things to different people. I don't believe in taking away championships, no matter the circumstances, but I don't think there's anything wrong with putting a side note on it. As for your 2nd question, nah I don't think so. Missing one game of CP3 (in Oracle where they're likely to lose anyways) isn't as big of a deal to me. In fact, I'd say that's pretty equally comparable to the W's losing Iggy for 2 games so I'd say it evens out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Curry at 100% makes any difference in this series? see then, we can't have a discussion. Cause his whole purpose is for this series. Iggy is going to play one of these games therefore he isn't injured, he is hurt. And I think it is just because he lacks confidence. We all can play silly games. It is obvious that Luc would be a big part of this series if healthy. He is not playing because his shoulder is hurt. He himself said he wouldn't try and dunk anymore because his shoulder. If we can't agree to these things there is no point in playing silly games. Quote "No, I can't dunk it right now. I don't trust it yet," Mbah a Moute told ESPN.
