I'm not sure slowing the pace always limits turnovers. It gives the defense time to get set

Maybe not, but I do believe GS thrives in a more frantic, uptempo pace. At least they do MUCH better with it than we do.

lol it really does.

GS has now lost 2 {stars}. And they STILL have more star power than us.

And that is exactly why we need to take these chumps down.

Taking a 73-win team and adding two of the best free agents* in a short span is just flat-out unfair.

* Everyone knew Boogie wasn't going to be injured all year

That's true, at least now that Durant is out

Can’t stand the analysis some of these idiots are coming with on Harden to end the game.

“I realize the team kept scoring, but.....”

Failing to recognize whatsoever that the Warriors were forcing the ball out of his hands and we were scoring a lot off his hockey assists.

Ow he was involved and with emotions out of the way I think most people will see it was not as bad as it seems, but there’s still still two clear issues even if it’s fair or not:

1. He did not take a shot. For someone who kept jacking them up in game 4 and how well he was shooting, there’s no way he should not get a shot up. Especially because he’s our leader and MVP candidate. It was Tracy McGrady like the way he just didn’t even look for his shot. It’s like he just wasn’t ready.

2. Body language. Multiple possessions he took himself out of the play and while others might also have been gassed / tired, you are the MVP and leader. Champions and MVPs rarely play like that in a crucial game. It’s nothing new, but it comes with the territory so don’t care if it’s fair. He deserves the criticism. Not that he lost us the game, but definitely that he failed to put the team on his back.

Such bullshit. I just watched my Liverpool team, down one of the best goal scorers in the world, down their best attacking midfielder, down another quality midfielder, come back from down 3 goals to the “best club in the world” on the backs of their reserves.

Newsflash: everyone is tired at this point. Everyone. If Harden gets so consistently “gassed” in the 4th quarter of big playoff games then that’s on him and his conditioning. GSW has played more mins over the last 5 years than any other team by a wide margin. Why isn’t Curry and Klay gassed? Is it just Harden?

Dude just put up video game offensive numbers for an entire season but now it’s too much for us to ask him to take more than two shots in the 4th of a critical game bc he might be tired? Again?

GTFO.
