    I know our season is in peril. Nobody's come back to win from 0-3. But If there's anything this team has proved is they play their best with their backs against the wall. We got blown out in not one but TWO straight games on the road. We've won four straight games several times this season. I may be off my meds... but why can't we make history after the way this team has consistently fought back after consistently putting their backs against the wall?

    The two straight games on the road being blown out was the Clippers series which I failed to mention. Just didn't want to confuse anybody.

    I believe HOU could come back from 0-3 but...


    Lets be Honest GS is being compared to GOAT teams for a reason.

    Also doesn't help Rockets have no one who can guard Curry or make him work on the defensive end

    I'm too drunk to consider this. But maybe. Will reevaluate in the AM and see where I am in this situation.

    Good thing that you remain optimistic.

    But sometimes you need to be realistic.

    We may not be swept but we are not winning against the GSW.

    It's what it is. They are the better team.

    I'm too heartbroken to think rationally right now... So sure, Houston in 7.

    If this was a team like the Spurs that played a great team system, I'd say there is a chance.

    The fact is, the team like that in this series is in fact the Warriors.

    McHale has to make drastic changes and hope they all work out. Nick Johnson starting would be one. We know by now Terry isn't slowing Curry down and he isn't giving us anything else.

    you wanna know why not this team? lol.

    smh,,, it's all my fault. shouldve never raised my expectations on a harden-led team. really, its all my own fault.

    one more time, let me again ask the question i've always wanted to ask morey - how do you measure heart and analyze determination? or do you even consider it?

    just sad.

    Sure.

    I know people will say not after tonight but whoever does come back down 0-3 first, it will be a huge surprise.

    To beat the Warriors 3 times to get it to a game 7 would be enough. It's possible I guess. One game at a time.

    Just because it's never happened in history doesn't mean it won't ever happen in history

    You know Morey has face to face interaction with these guys, right? He actually talks to them and all that.

    Harden is also 25. I'm sure people were thinking "a team led by Stephen Curry will not be a winner" when he was 25. Have some freaking respect for the greatest Rocket since Hakeem

    If you think you're the last optimist in the universe, doesn't that mean you're not an optimist?

    At this point, I just want to win a game. I'd rather the series not end on our home floor.

    Why would you need to be realistic now? I don't see a good reason, optimistic seems the way to go.
