Steph Curry is the modern day version of Michael Jordan. Curry will have his claims to being G.O.A.T. when his career ends in 5 years time.

Fixed.

Did you already forget about Game 5 when he (and Klay) took over after Durant went down? Or Game 1 of the 1st Round? 
He's been doing this his entire career.

Yes, Klay was nuclear in the first half. He seems to have a soft spot for "Game 6."

Funny you should mention officiating because what I have seen this year and last is that the Rockets benefit more than any other contending team in the regular season from the touchy - dare I say ticky-tack - dare I say coddling - officiating of the regular season.  In the post season ,when things are more loose, they just don't perform as well.  The Warriors have this too, but not as bad.

But yeah, they blew it.

Oh, and let's not start throwing around GOAT claims for Curry.  Not when as of now he has just 2 MVPs, 0 Finals MVPs, no All Defensive Teams, only 2 All NBA First Teams, and in the year he got that unanimous MVP (which incidentally I can name a number of performances of the past that probably SHOULD have been unanimous but just didn't get that lucky) he lead his team to blowing a 3-1 lead in the finals.  

Right now he doesn't belong in the top tier GOAT level.  Where I would put Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Michael Jordan, and Lebron James.  I think he is at least destined to wind up in the tier directly below that one, where sits Magic, Bird, Shaq, Kobe, West, Russell, etc.  But GOAT?  Yeah, let's take a chill pill.

Meh, the Rockets could have easily eliminated the Warriors last year also if they didn't try to win via three point shots in game seven.  Also it not like the Rockets never won a title they won two championships and are the second best NBA team in Texas behind the Spurs.  

I'm talking about this current Rockets team, not the Rockets franchise throughout its history. In terms of greatness, being a leader, and having that Championship DNA, James Harden is no Hakeem Olajuwon. Not even close.

Its a good game from curry. He went missing in the 1st half and klay had to carry the load. Curry had some easy FT at the end. I said consistently like how durant and kawhi are doing. Funny how i dont see you go crazy about durant and kawhi when they are playing much better and consistently than curry

Despite winning two titles Olajuwon choked plenty of times in the playoffs also, so he isn't that much better then Harden.  Harden already accomplished something that Olajuwon did not do that is he made it into the playoffs every year in his career so far ten years straight and counting.  Even if he doesn't win a title Harden has a chance to be the best left handed player of all time in the NBA by the time his career is over that distinction could have easily went to LeBron James but despite being left handed he shoots with his right hand and mostly does everything else on the court with his right hand.

I'm willing to give you Kawhi, but it's easy for Durant to be able to go off and play at the level he's been playing because he's got two of the greatest shooters of all time and one the best backcourts in the history of the game on his team and the Clippers' & Rockets' defensive gameplans have been focused primarily around them. Opposing teams would rather have Durant go off then the Splash Bros.

In the 4th quarter last night, the Rockets kept doubling Steph as soon as he crossed half-court. That's the kind of effect he has on the game. It's not too hard for a 7'0" scoring machine to average 35 a game when the defense is stretched so far out to keep those two guys (two of the greatest shooters in history) in check, pretty much leaving Durant in a very favorable 1 on 1 match up where he can just shoot over the top of his defender from mid-range for easy points or take it to the basket, get fouled, and go to the line. Thank the Splash Bros. for that. It's pretty much expected. It would grab my attention and make me raise an eyebrow if Durant WASN'T putting up those kinds of numbers he was before he got hurt.  

Well, we got a pair of game 7s tonight to decide who will be the next two teams to advance to each of the Conference Finals.
Trail Blazers & Nuggets will be in less than an hour on ABC. Then the 76ers and Raptors will be later in the afternoon on TNT.

CJ McCollum just had the greatest game of his career tonight!
Most clutch performance in the playoffs thus far!!

It takes a great team, (and luck), to win a Game 7 on the road. Congratulations to the Portland Trail Blazers... now they get the Golden State Warriors. But depending on how long Kevin Durant is out and if Portland brings this same fire, grit, and effort that they brought tonight, they just may have a chance.
