    Weak bench? Bruh, they run 2-3 All NBA players at the same time at ALL times.

    Great second point. Harden is fully capable of this, when his focus and fitness is good. Go Harden! Go Houston Rockets!

    1. we just need to hit our 3s

    simple as that . if we can make 40% of our 3s every game, we will have a great chance to win

    2. need to keep Cappella on the court

    even if they play small ball. let them react to us

    3. Harden needs to show up and play some D

    GS is too deadly for him to just worry about offense and they have too many weapons for the team to all sag off their guy to help Harden.


    I think we win in 7. The surprising star will be Ryan Anderson. He will come up with some big 3s

    Ryan Anderson and ISO Joe are our secret weapons against the Warriors. D'Antoni has been hiding them!:eek:

    Our role players need to hit threes.

    Minimize defensive lapses. If it means a shortened rotation (no Gerald Green) then so be it.

    Don’t turn the ball over and keep the Warriors from getting into a transition game.

    Harden and Paul need to be excellent, but that goes without saying.

    My simple plan is to bring back Luther Head, Johnny Flynn, and Brad Miller. I’m not sure why, but that’s my simple plan.

    Better chance of doing that is not getting the ball in EG and Green's hands, and benching them more and telling Ariza, PJ, and Ryan to step up and shoot!!! EG has horrendous percentages for the playoffs and wastes too many of our shots taken. Green isn't good enough on defense

    Through 2 games, Rockets have turned Former MVP Stephen Curry into the Bad Defender Stephen Curry. He is averaging just 17 points, and a dismal 15% 3PT%!

    Good call. They went at him like 25 times in iso. The boy just doesn't have it in him to play 35 mins on both ends

    A couple of more ankle breakers on him, will make feel the "pain". Attack Klay and him. If we can make it harder for Durant to rise and shoot, GS might start panicking. Calling Luc and Ariza...

    Go Houston Rockets!

    Hmm, really? I feel like most of what we've seen is them doing alot off the ball movement and KD iso. Are you talking about when they use their pick n roll to get KD onto Paul or Harden like that?
