    Agreed. Durant makes them lethal. Without him, they are very beatable.

    No House and very little Green tonight might help account for why we were so sharp on Klay and Curry. Those two have been taken advantage of this series, and our D tonight really has a lot to do with great switching and a focus on limiting three point takes, often to the point of giving up easy 2's.

    Clint did not play well after the first, and when he is nervous in these big games his hands are not as good as they normally are (which is sort of strange). In the regular season, his strength is his hands and his ability to gather passes that are almost anywhere in his vicinity. In the playoffs, spot on passes are giving him trouble and I think MDA did well sitting him as much as he did.

    Nothing will come easy against these guys and next game we will have to play very, very solid. Rivers is now an essential piece of the playoff puzzle, and late in the fourth he needs to play. Great win but we will have to tie this series to have any shot.

    He kicked on his shot which is how Austin hit him in the first place. Harden doesn't get the call but the NBA darling sure does.

    I lost count of the GS flops, the GS fouls not called, the fouls called on the Rockets that weren’t fouls.
    How the guys calling the game can just act like it isn’t going on kills me. JVG hinted at it once, and then didn’t say anything again. I’ve been a fan since the team moved to Houston and I can’t remember the refs being this biased.
    The league simply doesn’t care and our owner says nothing. I’m starting to admire Cuban for backing up his team.

    A hot KD is fool's gold. It completely freezes out Klay and especially Steph, and when KD inevitably gets cold they're screwed.

    Seriously. KD leaves. Iggy will prob retire. Livingston got old very fast.
    Curry doesn't improve year to year like Harden does.

    GSW could move into their new fancy-pants SF arena and quickly find themselves a struggling 8-seed.
