    Dwight would get mad because Hakeem would get the ball to much . Dwight will fake an injury after game one

    Harden morphs into a plus defender.

    We shoot over 50% as a team

    Howard doesn't get ejected being picked on by Bogut

    BOTH Curry and Klay shoot below 20% from 3

    We get Green in foul trouble

    Basically, everything needs to go right for 4 games.

    The Warriors already beat us this year without Curry (I would know since I went to that damn game). We need him and Thompson to get hurt.

    Yup. The Clippers own the Warriors. They've beaten the once in their past eight tries. That's pretty impressive, overall.

    Play under their skin
    Home court loudness


    .... its like the lottery, if you don't play, you don't win. We in, we have a chance.

    Hire Thibs and sign Durant and Horford, then we have a shot.

    Okay, so maybe not the key. But a start.

    Stop Green. He is the key cog in the machine.
    Contain Curry.

    Take Green out since his playing style. He should get hurt.

    I honestly think if the Rockets can find a way to score more points than Golden State then they will have a chance to win games. If not then they will have a hard time wining.

    A Corey Brewer, Steph Curry collision, taking both out for the series would guarantee us this series

    1. Punish their lack of size. ( Dwight needs the ball - Drive and Dish - Capela )
    2. Busy Feet and Busy Hands ( Look Bigger on D)
    3. Control the Boards ( Dwight may have to play 48, seriously )
    4. Rack up FT's ( Yes, I know, but must do )
    5. Wear out Curry with drives ( Get Harden to Curry on O)
    6. Move the ball ( this will be very tough for us )
    7. Force them to drive and create offense. ( Make them less comfortable )
    8. Press up on Everyone. ( smother Curry )
    9. Pressure the ball Full court ( disrupt their offensive flow )
    10. No Pocket Passes ( Focus on the Lob )
    11. Stick to your man like glue ( force the back door cuts, do not wander )
    12. Do not double Curry until he has 50
    13. Aggressive D ( But don't go for steals, I mean press up)
    14. Slow the game down ( don't run with them )
    15. Put Daniels on Livingston, Barnes
    16. Be Tall and Athletic at every position all the time

    It's not surrounding Steph. Logic 101. You let him get his. The key to winning is surrounding Klay,Harrison and forcing Draymond to keep shooting. Also, Dwight is going to have to stay away from Bogus' flops. Personally, we have a much better chance of competing with a healthy Dwight (who needs a new contract), Beas gives us a punch against Dray,Speights and Festus. My friend Snoov allegedly feels good,which is extra rim protection. Our biggest wild card will be CB,and obviously,James. My gut says that James is going off to show up Steph. It is on. Pat Bev is going to pressure Steph, and I think he can hold him to 25. James and Steph may cancel each other out,and that leaves the rest.

    Your difference maker: Trev Ariza. Bet on it. He is going to give Klay,Harrison and Dray HELL.

    We may be blown out in GS, but we're going 7. Dwight has no tears and DD's lovechild in DMo gives us depth.

    Just enjoy the ride. Better to compete than stay home and watch that miserable Utah team get swept.

    How awesome would it be if orlando dwight showed up and crushed their small ball lineup. I realize that's a semi insane thought, but man it would be great as an old school fan to see a rockets big man dominate someone again.
