    I know it sounds harsh but I'm sorry, Harden is known for embellishing pain when he doesn't get a call.

    And the commentators weren't saying a scratched eyelid, the Rockets staff told the court side reporter reporter that.

    As good as the Warriors are, they haven’t had to deal with a single major injury during this run.

    It’s amazing.

    Fought hard in the second half. We needed that kind of boxing out in the first half, but I loved the effort in the second.

    Harden came back and played a heck of a game after the injury. I mean, I just don't know what you do. Their small forward is 7'0 tall and can hit any shot he feels like shooting, and they have two of the best shooters in history. We fought hard.

    Shump - Terrible
    House - Terrible


    All of our wings are absolutely terrible in one fashion or another.

    What exactly about what you just saw makes you think this team can win a game in this series?

    Give credit to Harden playing through such pain. Rivers and Nene played well off the bench to keep us in the game. Gordon and Tucker had their ups and and downs but they fought hard.

    Capela is soft and timid..he is looking like a rookie. Paul played really horrible, the worst he have been in his career. Green, House and Shumpert were simply horrendous.

    0-1 and Warriors put up more effort than us fighting for rebounds and steals.

    Now down 2, if we don't put in more fight than the Warriors, it will be over.

    Will D'Antoni make any adjustment? ANY?

    The main one that comes to mind is playing Faried with a center with Tucker at the 3. You will swallow up defensive boards and will be better defensively.

    Chris Paul’s a joke. He’s all talk but can’t back it up when it counts. No defense tonight and no aggression on the offensive end.

    Yes, and we couldn’t do it with Harden getting a handful of fingers in his eyes from Green. Should have been a flagrant foul. Paul had a lousy game, and Capela did, as well. Rivers was a nice surprise. I wish we’d had him in game one.

    I am just so suspicious with the warriors -5. This is totally controlled by Vegas and it is not even funny.

    Two time MVP and 3 time champion Steph Curry disagrees.

    Yep, this was as well a reffed game I've seen in a while.

    Amazing what they can do when their feet are put to the fire and honesty is demanded of them. Too bad it took game 1, the game we should have won, to get this fair officiated game.

    It will.be 3-1 going back to Oracle. This team doesn't rebound, adjust or protect the ball. Easy series for Golden State. I can't believe I fell for the regular season 3-1 crap. Shame on me

    I can’t support a lack of effort. He thinks his role is to be Eric Gordon. It’s a disgrace. He doesn’t have pride.
