    Foul IGUODALA!! he is shooting 50% from the line this post season and this will slow down the game if they go on those spurts. he went 0-3 tonight they tried to do it with Capella lets do it with Iggy.

    We've seen that the Hack-A strategy actively hurts us.

    The Rockets simply need to get back in transition defense, play sound half court defense, and limit turnovers.

    Obviously those are things that are quite simple yet troublesome for the Rockets, but that's what you have to do to beat a team like the Warriors. You just can't make mistakes.

    Yeah, here's a thought: Get back in transition.

    Can someone please explain how or why do scrubs like Livingston, Austin Rivers and JJ Barea go off against us ? Is our point guard defense that bad ? The crazy thing is if we advanced I bet Dementolva would go off as well. We need Bev in the worst way.

    You've got to shut down their role players and bench. Curry had 34 and no one else had more than 18. If you stop everyone else they can't win, even with Curry going off. Curry shot lights out tonight. Like someone said before, make them play 2 on 5.

    Livingston I wouldn't count on doing what he did again honestly. He hit a lot of floaters/mid-range shots he normally wouldn't.

    I would say it is more pressing to keep him off the glass I felt like he got quite a few offensive boards that extended possessions.
