    sigh.....
    The problem really isn't about offense either, our offense has been pretty abysmal anyway. You insert someone cold like Ryno in he's gonna miss rotations and they might heat up from 1 open 3

    Key to winning game 6 is defense. We been holding them under 100 points and we need to do that at Oracle to have a chance. With or without CP this team is capable of scoring 100 points. We have a chance.

    CP needs to be in Harden's ear the whole trip like:

    That doesn't make sense, he could travel with them and receive treatment while being on the sideline. Game 1 of 2015 vs the clippers missed the first game but he was on the bench pretty much coaching his teammates.

    Definitely need to roll the dice with Ryno. In fact, if Iggy is still out, I'd start Ryno at Center, which would force Loony to guard him. Run that high pick and roll where Ryno ends up being like 33 feet out for those open threes that's basically a staple of his Road games. He needs to let it fly without hesitation though. Make or miss it will force the Warriors defense to stretch which will open the driving lanes for Harden and EG....

    If our threes are falling early, we can play downhill the rest of the way with Capella locking the paint down and switches on the perimeter forcing Durant to Iso...

    Also, Harden's shot needs to return. I feel like he's getting good shots but a lot of them look short on the step back. Love the way he attacks Steph, but when he attempts his stepbacks on the Warriors bigs, they just fall really short. We really need the guy to go off for like 35 to go along with 15 assists....

    yeah but why travel? It's not like traveling makes your hamstring recover faster. Stay home and receive treatment 24/7 rather than deal with getting on a plane.

    If he's ruled out this quickly for Game 6, there is almost zero chance he's healthy enough for Game 7. I imagine he'll try to play, but he likely won't be truly effective.

    Just a nightmare situation. Sad. So damn sad.
