    Trevor Ariza 7.4 million a year
    PJ Tucker 5.4 Million a year
    Anderson 18.74 million a year

    This is why Anderson gets more blame than Ariza and Tucker

    This HOF dumbwit sulking the whole game because we were winning w/o Harden, and then rejoices at the fact that we lost. This is why Player Only Fans are parasites that need to be extinguished.

    You're right, we've never won a game with James playing. I forgot.

    BTW, who was the leading scorer when the Rox beat the Warriors this year?

    CP3 and EGO are sustainable. Not sure if Green is sustainable. He’s been on video game cheat mode.

    Then again maybe his normal mode is good enough. RYNO is done

    They are the Warriors, they have 2 top 5 players, another 2 that are probably top 15, a 6 man of the year in Iggy, probably the best back up pg in Livingston (who we cut and could really use right now) & just a bunch of other players who do what they're supposed to like West, Looney & Mccaw.

    They are really, really good and honestly I think they're putting very little effort into this regular season.

    In a playoff series IMO we have a 50% chance that our best player plays better than theirs (Harden, Durant), than we have to hope CP3 can produce more points than Steph (also a wash even with CP's assists), EG probably has a 40% chance of canceling out Klay, Capela out plays their centers, that leaves Ariza, Green, Tucker and Luc against Iggy, Livingston, West and whatever scrub goes off against us nightly... we can exploit them there but than that leaves Green and Ryno which in all actuality, if Ryno is at least producing 4-5 3's, it creates a nightmare for Green because he spreads the floor and makes Green run on close outs/late on help defense around the rim.

    In all honestly with his current play, Ryno is a huge liability against the Warriors, either he learns how to play consistently or we hope that Morey can pull one more rabbit out of his hat.

    Also Tucker needs to play better.

    The guys played great against a great team. We're getting there, the Rox need to get tougher inside and stop allowing so many layups.

    And GSW was also blown out by the Spurs in the first game of their last season. Most players are not in the game shape during that time of the year, and your going to judge two teams by their very first game? that's idiotic

    Our defensive schemes, or lack thereof, aren’t good enough to beat the warriors

    Rockets need a rebounder for that second unit that can help create more possesions and start the break

    I’m just glad the Astros won a title in the fashion that they did against the teams they went through.....

    Ariza is getting fed up with people not covering their man and he having to play bail out defense
