    None of Golden States bench would get minutes here

    Dantoni would not allow it
    No reason not to play House or Faried

    Seriously?

    The bench played and played admirably except for the elimination game.

    After harden's eye injuries, rockets didn't want any excuses.

    Austin rivers shouldn't been faking that injury in game 6 where he laid out on on the floor plus rivers sat out a game in the jazz series.

    House did enough in the jazz series for the pennies he was earning on his crack head deal.

    The only reason GS' bench played more is that Bogut was a placeholder in their lineup due to injuries and Durant was out. In all the other games the Rockets lost, Rockets bench played more than GS.

    Our bench played more minutes game 1-5. By a pretty clear margin. Game 6 was the only time they went deep into their bench for major minutes.

    I like MDA, but I agree with this 100%... gotta give guys 2 minute shifts just to see what you have that night.

    I don't agree with this take for multiple reasons. I'll provide reasoning and video analysis later when I'm not out and about. Happy Mother's Day everyone.

    While I agree with the saying, it's been wrongly attributed to Einstein. There's no evidence he ever said or wrote words to that effect.

    Only because durant got hurt

    And the fact that those dudes who were barely playing beat our guys, well maybe that's on the players

    I think Cook and McKinnie could be decent. Looney is a beast at times.

    capela is still a better rim protector and varied can't guard the perimeter. House ducked. Coach made the right call. Shumpert played well

    This. They didn't lose to one of the best or greatest teams ever.

    Game 5 did not take advantage with Durant going out.
    Game 6, the fact they let Klay Thompson and a bunch of G-League players play them to a tie before Steph finally woke in the 4th...

    No KD
    No DC
    Draymond had 4 fouls
    Steph had 4 fouls, scoreless at the half and was a no show for 2 1/2 quarters
    and the best you could do is play them to a tie?

    "We want the Warriors! We want the Warriors! Give us the Warriors!"

    Ha!

    I’m really not sure how anybody can be excited about our coach moving forward after that disaster of a series. I know I won’t be.

    We’ll be good next season, I’m sure. 50-60 win team no doubt. But I won’t believe in us come playoff time. Not sure how anybody can at this point. We’ve seen the way it ends for years now.

    I can understand the Shump for House move, but Faried should have played, at the very least with Curry on the bench.
