    Dmo and Terrence were skilled players but their weaknesses were what ruined everything.

    A professional should scout better and go with a lower ceiling but useful guys for multiple seasons.

    Someone like a younger Marreese Speights. Zbo lite.

    I have to say, we aren’t winning games where Tucker, Anderson, Ariza, Black and Weber combine for 12 points.

    Doesn’t help when the refs flat award extra possessions to a great team. The nba is fun to watch and i don’t care if y’all award me a tinfoil hat for this but it’s scripted. There is no reason, in 2018, where we can sit in the stands and instantly view an out of bounds call, a ridiculous flop, hell why not even a foul...before the next inbounds you can sit anywhere in the world and make a better call, make THE RIGHT CALL but the 3 gentlemen with whistles have to guess. That’s a shameful slap inthe face to the integrity of sport. And what does the nba do? Use it to make sure a great team gets extra chances.

    Typically when you see a lot of emotion from a guy like Klay Thompson you get the idea they were giving quality effort.

    You can't quantify a game like that.

    Gerald Green wasn't on the team and scored 29 points last night.

    The Rockets lost the game due to Luc Mbah, Nene, and James Harden being out.

    When you are missing 3 core players who are important in 3 different facets you are extremely limited.

    GSW won 73 games with the team that played last night. When Klay Thompson and Curry are that hot from long range it doesn't matter if KD is playing if they are hitting at a high volume.

    At this point I’m not expecting anything out of Nene.

    Maybe he’s saving himself for the postseason and we’ll see the beast he was last year.

    Sometimes I love him, and other times I just want him to get the lead out of his leap and the sprint in his step.

    If Morey gets us one, than Nene being out every now and again is a high price to pay, but if that is what our thick headed GM needs to realise it, so be it.

    Also, for people criticising the refs, stop it!!

    Once they flipped the switch the effort was definitely there.

    Don't forget the referees have to run to get to their positions. They don't have the benefit of multiple camera angles to view fouls and other things. They get one crack at it with one set of eyes. Heck even with some instant replay, there are likely to still be complaints.

    Nah I disagree. Out of bounds calls should mandatorily reviewed unless it’s obvious. There’s no reason people sitting in the stands should have access to the right calls moreso than the people whose job it Is to get the calls right. And until they embrace that, they deserve every tinfoil hat wearing loon declaring the entire sport WWE with a ball.
