    Yeah, the hot potato play was what finally turned me against him. I'd rather see someone at least make an effort and throw bricks than just give up. His giving up and CP3 not being able to last through the final game lost it for us. At least now, we know we can win without Paul. That being said, I still think we need one more consistently good shooter to give us our best shot against the top teams come playoffs. Harden is pulling too much of the load too often with the streaky shooters.

    Okay, let me try again. "The Rockets will have a great chance of beating the Warriors in Oracle Arena. Let's go!" Is that better?

    I expect a loss, but hopefully the Rockets keep the game close and give themselves a shot to steal one at Oracle.

    I can't see a short-handed Rocket's team beating the Warriors on their home court; however, I am good if it happens.

    Nope thats gimmicky. U cant get away with that twice. Just do what we did last year. Gi at them on offenses n defense. Austin gotta attack. Put curry on harden every time attack him till he breaks

    this was my post to the interwebs regarding that occurrence i tried on the interwebs to ignite the outrage lets see what happens
    Kawhi Leonard shoots 17(SEVENTEEN) FTs to score CAREER HIGH 45 points. Is he becoming unwatchable?
    Pls share your thoughts and discuss.
    1 I always liked his game but 17 FTs!?, man this is not fan to watch.
    2 Also how come you score 45 points and record only 1 assist? really? hows that even possible? does he even look to share and pass the ball to his teammates or this is a freak accident? I am sure if I spent 35 minutes on the floor I would have recorded an assist. This is not how basketball is meant to be played. Its a team game.

    Yeah, that's how it works. Kawhi was aggressive and deserved the calls. Harden "foul hunts" and doesn't.

    Kawhi did it "honorably" and Harden is a "cheater."

    Harden cheats, travels and flops his way to 33.3PPG. He has the entire world fooled. Game after game after game. And all of the social media scrutiny. It is brought to our attention. Yet we keep getting the same result. The greatest magician of the modern era. :rolleyes:
