    We're going to see a locked in defensive effort from the Rockets tonight. I think we'll see some weak-side help whenever Durant gets the ball on the block, and lots of face-guarding on the perimeter. I also think we'll try and mix in a little more off-ball movement offensively, especially with Gordon. We have to find a way to get him going. His playoff performances over the last 2 years have been putrid.

    Rockets - 113
    Warriors - 104

    Game 1 wasnt bad. Final score yes, not the game.

    Mike D´Antoni, big day for you buddy. Don´t take any possible solution home. Leave it all here tonight

    Anyone have the video of the play before that of Stephanie crawling on the ground grabbing Green's arms in effort to stay afoot.

    I really hope that we bounce back extremely hard like we have the couple times we’ve faced adversity in this postseason.

    Let’s shut up everyone saying we don’t have the slightest chance.

    Cut down our ISO by half of what we did last game, get Clint more involved, force turnovers and hit our 3’s (yes, you too, role players).

    Realistically having the series at 2-2 would be a great scenario, win tonight, steal one in GS... preferably game 3. I say this because it’s borderline impossible winning back to back games in Oracle.

    Time for them to guard these simple screen actions well or get swept.

    I wish Ryno would shoot with the confidence of Gerald Green.

    No more playmaking from Gordon, just score. I do hope D'Antoni runs some pin downs for Gordon. He is the only player on our squad who probably needs that. His one on one skills aren't great.

    I trust MDA to make some solid adjustments. I just hope that one of them includes never ever playing Green and Anderson at the same time again.

    That's just not his style - SAS pretty much had it right when he stated today that MDA is stubborn and will not make any changes to his system. I do expect to see CP3 running the show more tonight instead of Harden but I just don't believe his (MDA) system can topple a team like the GSW. But they still have to play the game so they have a chance - I'll be intently watching to see how the bench plays and also what Kerr does to counter MDA.
