    I have consistently talked about how we match up against the Warriors. You trying to analyze us as having a deeper bench than they do is a joke.

    I’ve just been reading to try to digest this nonsense, but how in the world is the Warriors’ bench better/deeper/more usable(however you’re trying to frame it) than ours?

    Answer: It isn't. But Holic's been riding that horse for a few years now and hasn't figured how to dismount without landing on his face.

    Rivers is usable house is usable we’ve seen that already this year in the regular season.

    Faried who knows I find it hard to believe he can’t match up with looney when Capela is taking a break but we shall see.

    Shumpart we’ve seen in Cleveland be usable against GS.

    We had one guy off the Bench last year before cp3 went down in Gordon that was it.

    Green too if u want to include him and he’s still here.

    We’ve basically switched out Ariza for rivers house and shumpart, and rivers is actually very vital because we had no 4th guard last season at all.

    I’m not buying what your selling on this one.

    We were comparing our bench to last year's bench. Not to the Warriors.

    As to their bench - they have a solid bench but I wouldn't say it's a slam dunk over us. Iggy is old and Livingston is solid, and Looney plays well against us but that's it.

    Overall I think the Rockets are better than last year but I think Chris Paul is one iota worse than last year.

    The GSW are also better offensively than last year but defensively they have been worse.

    Hey @basketballholic I'm sure there is a way to explain yourself without sounding so douchey... try it. You come off as a wanna be know it all. I'm sure you have hoops knowledge, but c'mon man. At least try not to see like you know it all. I kinda feel for you. And that's not a good thing... just say in. You do you, but dang homie you are kinda getting blasted. Good day

    Not sure, but a related question: Would you trade James Harden for Reggie Jackson?

    Yes. Any guard can put up numbers like this in a D'Antoni offense. Oh, and Jackson plays both ends of the floor and isn't fat. Oh, and throw in Anthony Randolph for Capela.

    Oooooooooh.

    Compare to the Warriors instead. We don't get to play last year's team next round of the playoffs. We're playing the Warriors.

    The goal posts for me have always been winning a championship. To win a championship we've got to beat the Warriors.
