    We missed more 3s last year, yes.
    But the Warriors won cause they made the right play and used ball movement.
    We jack up crappy Gerald Green hero shots

    every play matters

    This series was close, we aren't blowing them out like the other teams.

    The fact that we never got a 10 point lead tonight is almost unbelievable. Let them hang around all night. Knew this is what would happen. This team has no killer instinct at all.

    Undisciplined ball vs smart disciplined ball.

    We will lose every time to that team because overall they are smarter than we are up and down their roster.

    And their coaching is superior.....

    No system and no game plan.

    It's so fxxking obvious. We are relying on Harden to make the read and that's just too much.

    Just getting too old for this. This team don't t have the athetes to get easy buckets. This is a division 3 sized basketball team with poor athletic ability. There was no way this team was going to be able to compete against Philly or Milwaukee coming out of the east anyway.

    this is on Mike. Terrible coach in the playoffs when the going gets tough.

    They know where to go down the stretch and how to deliver the ball to deal the blow.

    We fxxking stand around watching James gets double teamed and constantly in a scramble mode.

    I am sorry. Morey has to be called out. Yes, he is a fraud.

    This DOESN'T work on the warriors, that's why you need to make adjustments

    You run plays for your best player, HARDEN

    like how Golden State made all those screens for Steph

    We don't do that, we have to do this incredibly basic offense

    We had one chance but in 30 seconds Gerald Green decided that:

    1. passing the ball (late) to PJ for a 3 was better than passing the ball to Gordon in transition
    2. attacking Draymond with a fadeaway two point shot was a good idea
    3. turn the ball over like an idiot

    ...were all great ideas, and Mike was ok with that i guess.

    Forgot to tell Morey that the other team has better 3 point shooters
    that they make adjustments
    and that we need to make counter adjustments

    Of course not. To be honest, this is just waiting to happen with the way we played. Down the stretch, we trapped and they also trapped. But they know where to swing the ball and move to get a shot up - a quality shot up. We fxxking were constantly in a scramble mode relying on individual brilliance to happen.

    What a disgrace.

    You are in an elimination game and at home and they are playing without their best player and you hold their second best player to ZERO points in the first half and you are only tied at the half??!! WTF??!! That right there foreshadowed to me that things were not going to end well for the Rockets. It was sickening to see the Warriors play so much harder than the Rockets. Outside of PJ and at times, Chris Paul, no one else on the Rockets had any urgency to try to win this game and battle for loose balls, rebounds, and you know, the little things that helps your team win a damn game.

    I don't care what anybody says or how it looks: The refs took this one from us, and they did it flawlessly. Every time we started to pull away, they slowed it down with a bad call. Throw in just enough game-changing outrageous calls, and they swung the game in the Warriors' favor.

    Again.

    None of this is to sayvwe didn't play like utter ****, of course. But so did Golden State til the end.

    Fact is: If the series is reffed fairly, we win. They took Game 1, and as far as I'm concerned they took Game 6 as well. I paid close attention, and many undeniably bad calls led directly to points from Golden State. I'm tired of it. I don't know what the reason is; I just know it's happening. And since it only ever favors one team (not us), it can't be explained simply by bad luck.

    reflection on the coach and system. lots of non ball movement makes your players lazier.

    There were some bad calls against the Rockets but nothing that egregious, IMO. I mean, come on, we let the Warriors bench score 20 or more points in the first half while their best player didn't play and their 2nd best player was scoreless. Do you really think we deserve to win when we let that happen?
