    Even more reason to rest both James and Paul and think more of what matters most. That is the playoffs, and not this game. Then, the only statement they will be making IF they win, is that they finally beat us this year without our 2 best players. The playoffs are what matter most. Get healthy, and send our own message. We can and will beat them this year in the playoffs. To risk injury over pride could be our downfall during the next few games.

    Rest our core players and let Rivers and Mayor Green run the show.

    Coach should let CP3 coach the team too just to mock Stave Kerr for once.

    And still beat em by double digits. Then wonder what sort of excuses the media will make for their darlings.

    If I am paying 300 bucks for a ticket, they better not rest CP3 and Harden. Do people on clutchfans go to any games? Do people pay money for tickets cause no one would be saying rest harden and cp3 if they did.

    I want us to crush the Oakland Whiners, drive them before us, and hear the lamentations of their women.

    Not worried bout the Warriors. I feel like the Rockets got their number this year, and if we lose, O well... 3 to 1 to the defending champions. That MEMPHIS games has all the makings of a trap game! MEM been sneaky beating good teams and Rockets should be coming off a win against the Warriors, so they might be still drained by the time they face them... or over looking them...

    Lol. The fact that they feel they need to have a statement game shows they don’t have that “oh we are just coasting, that’s why we have these losses” attitude.

    They never once said that last year, they just said whatever we’ll show it in the playoffs.

    Look, could they easily just snap back into it and win the chip convincingly? Sure, they are that freaking talented. But this narrative that they just aren’t trying anymore In the regular season just isn’t true. They are starting to try and put it together , and it’s just not as easy as they thought it would be.

    We have nothing to prove as far as the regular season goes against GS. We beat them 3 times, once with out Harden, once with out Paul. We are focusing on being healthy, they are focusing on trying to fix a big problem at the moment.

    Kerr is a beta ***** that doesn't have the balls to confront a man and talks **** behind their back and whines when **** doesn't go his way. Durant is so out of there and they will be stuck with Draymond getting paid for nothing. We need to beat them now to take a huge dump all over that legacy before Durant is gone and send him on his merry way. We can end them here and now and they know it.

    My thoughts exactly. That is intended more for the NBA. Specially if Foster is one of the refs. Let's make our own STATEMENT.

    They are saying this cause they had a humiliating loss to the suns at home where people are paying like $150 for nosebleeds
    Nice way of people to not talk about that crap loss
    During the last year of that crap arena
