    Lol a g league team with two all stars on it. Look I get the warriors have a bad record.

    The rockets still have a chance to go 4-1 on a 5 game road trip. Look at the big picture and stop fretting over one loss. Jesus Christ

    That clip of KD "standing around at mid court" wasn't remotely the same as the one of Harden nit even close

    MDA best be working on a game plan after tonight. I predict that the other teams will start double teaming Harden from half court from now on. If you stop Harden from scoring 40 plus points every night and let Westbrook shoot the ball most of the time, it means you have a good chance of winning. And with our dodgy defense, I think it's highly likely we'll struggle to stop the other team to score most nights.

    We badly need Gordon back. Yeah, I know he weren't shooting well before he got injured, but I suspect he'll come good a few games after he gets back. He just adds more to our game..... and he's probably our best spot up shooter. Can't double team Harden and let Gordon have an open 3pt shot.

    Except I would add that Bmac, PJ, Rivers, sucked pretty much as well,. Ckint was once again the Clint we all know and love and HATE against the interior of the W's lineup around the basket, and Harden wasn't doing much on D. Otherwise they played great lol

    Basically this team got outplayed, out-hustled and out shot by a far less talented team...Probably "tired legs" I'm guessing

    It is not only Chris Paul, the whole chemistry plus role players felt superior.

    Above all, the D was consistent.

    A Finals appearance would make it easier to forget it.

    Dun make me say it but 2 yrs ago seems like yesterday.

    If you think Draymond Green and D'Angelo Russell are making it to the AS game this year, you're going to be disappointed.

    Just like Andre Iguodala shouldn't be mentioned as an All-Star this season, neither should Draymond nor D'lo. It'd be like if Dirk came out of retirement and had All-Star billing.

    It pisses me off that these shots are WIDE ASS OPEN. And it’s still a brick fest

    Terrible analogy. Iggy and dirk are late 30s. Dlo is not even in his prime.

    I didn't see the game, and am glad this was only the 2nd game I missed. At least I enjoyed Christmas day. Not even gonna watch the DVR after looking at the box score to see Dumbtoni didn't play Hartenstein at all. When is he gonna learn he is wasting too amany minutes with small ball no defense crapola, instead of developing the young big sitting there watching us get punked by the G League Warriors

    MDA is a bad coach. He will not change. We will continue to lose these kinds of games.

    Within the next 10 months, the GSW will try to unload the contract of Dlo.

    Good chance you lose to anyone if you shoot 37% from the field and Westbrook goes 0-8 from 3 point land.

    Illegal defense rules were different.
    No zones.

    37% from the field doesn’t even tell the whole story. Most of those shots came when Harden was doubled and we were going 4 on 3.

    Just complete incompetence. No game plan.
