    As opposed to the 20 moving screens GS performs for every cutter to the three-point line?

    The whole world thought that the Warriors are too good and invincible. The whole world except the Rockets...

    Rockets have already exposed GS for what they are. Team of entitled b****es that will fold by toughening up on them defensively. They will fold if you take away their back screen illegal pick nonsense. They will crumble under pressure situations late in the game because entitled b****es don't like being in those situations.

    So no, they are not too good. They are the second best team in this series and are lucking out big time due to their owner Chris Paul being forced to sit out. Someone that backs up his shimmy and dominates the other team after it.

    GS is weak, but the luckiest team in the last 4 years.

    I love that this guy has nothing better to do than to go to an opposing teams site to “try” and troll.

    He claims he’s got cash because he lives in the bay. He claims the warriors are infallible, he claims the rockets are unworthy, he claims we complain more than anyone.

    Yet his insecurity on all those things are so fricken high that he is here, trying to validate himself and his team.

    You got a **** life bruh

    I never expected Paul to play. Zero surprise for me.

    Saw CP, Harden, and Morey hold a small meeting at the hotel bar they were staying at. Everyone drinking water or soda. Morey seemed in good spirits, but CP and Harden pretty serious. Honestly nothing really to make out of it but like how our superstars looking like getting ready for game 7 an hour after the loss

    Again, what you are essentially saying is that Curry and Durant CANNOT make up for Iggy's absence.

    It's not like the Warriors were blown out in any of those losses, they were right there, the fact is Curry and Durant failed to carry their teams to wins in games decided by 3 points. Iggy had nothing to do with those losses for them, nothing at all, they were right there to win.

    No one is saying he's a bad player or can't change a game, what people are saying is this is silly because they still have 2 MVPs, an all-star, and a DPOY on their team...and none of these dudes can make up for what he does?

    F that, everyone is banged up at this point in the season. They just don't report soreness. Not even Curry would use the excuse, but the media loves to use it for him.

    In theory, if CP was at 75% his best usage would be just to give Harden a short breather and run the offense. Any extra rest for Harden would be huge.

    Harden rested 1 minute in the first half. It looked like they wanted more rest but put him back in the game ASAP when they had a couple of turnover possessions.

    The big problem with CP with the injury is defensively staying with all of the Warriors action.

    He won't be able to run - so if he tries to play it's more like a slower jog.

    Less than likely means that.

    Yes, as opposed to that. Every team cheats as much as they can. If they weren’t there wouldn’t be 30 fouls a game per team. Harden gets a huuuuuuge amount of help from the refs. He flops all the time and exaggerates any little bit of contact. Pro tip: exaggerating is flopping. Flopping is any acting done to increase the likelihood of a call. Let’s just hope that your regular season hero keeps getting reffed properly in game 7 and isn’t rewarded for his antics.

    We don't need you bashing Harden. We're already doing this. Truth is he needs to put up or shut up. Time will tell tomorrow.

    We had a good chance in Game 6. We wasted opportunities in the first half and then played in the second half like we were already gonna win just because we won the first half.

    We didn't match the change in intensity level that the Warriors started flashing about 3 min to go in the 2nd qtr when Durant started attacking the rim.

    Make no mistake, it’s going to be a stiff challenge, and the odds favor Golden State. The Rockets have to play exceptionally well tomorrow night to get this done. I think they can dig deep and do it one night for their fallen leader in CP3 with their home crowd pushing them across the finish line.

    I agree with you.

    Game 7's are often very, very ugly games. One of the ugliest was the Rockets/Knicks game 7 of 1994. The teams know so much of one another that it comes down to a street fight of will.

    My main concern is how tired our team is, and I think the crowd can make a big difference in keeping the energy up.
