    Well now we can stick Ariza on Thompson instead of Curry. Capela will eat Zaza alive on those lobs. I think we got a good shot tonight.

    Cp3 is a similar talent level to curry but slightly better

    Ego is a similar talent level to klay but slightly less

    Capela has grown a lot but is no draymond but draymond has a sore ankle.

    Durant being out really does even up the odds a quite a bit.

    I’m excite. Let’s get it

    Not sure we can beat them without Harden. you need a player who can scare the opposition on offence and get them in foul trouble. Harden is our man who does that.

    happy to be wrong though

    I’m really excited about this game

    gotta be locked in on defense and get back in transition...last thing I want to see is Curry’s annoying ass draining threes and walking around with his mouthpiece hanging out

    the player I’ll be watching the closest is Capela

    So we are actually better with just CP3 and no Harden.

    Small sample + CP3 plays against second units more.

    He was implying because Ariza will no longer have to defend Durant

    This is actually a winnable game with Durant out. The Warriors had to play last night too. And their game tipped off an hour later and went down literally to the final seconds.

    Rockets are better without Harden.
    Warriors are better without Durant.

    Duh.

    P.S. not on ATT network so TNT better not black this one out ;)
