    Did you miss the part 'not putting this loss on Harden.'? Everyone sucked tonight, but Harden scoring only 17 points in an important game like this is problematic. I don't care what other people are saying; Harden is a better scorer than a passer. Having 11 assists on 7 turnovers doesn't help your team a lot, but scoring 30 points does.

    If he didn't join them, but was already there Durant would be in the lead right now. Team record has been insanely rewarded when it comes to MVP voting million times in history. Bill Russell won MVP in the same season Oscar averaged triple double and Wilt averaged 50&26, same thing with Jordan/Magic at the end of 80's when Jordan clearly put better stats but didn't win MVP because Lakers won 10 more games.

    That's funny. Durant couldn't win being up 3-1 b****ed out and joined the best team in NBA history. The dude can't say **** at all anymore. He has no legs to stand on.

    Actually he got double teamed very often. So lower scoring is normal.

    But he didn't adjust well tonight against that, hence many times got trapped and many TOV, this is on him.

    ball is in morey's court now. either he wants to aim for being a contender during harden's mvp season, or he does nothing and preserves his precious capspace

    Yes. The 76ers are the hottest team in 2017 next to Golden State.

    37 points from our centers and Dekker was the best player tonight, yet we lose because of crap player like Brewer.

    Brewer should play 0 minutes. Let Sam play all those SF/PF minutes

    12 rows up tonight from GS bench.
    Man they are freaking loaded.

    Coaching means zero for GS. Anyone could coach them

    This is why purely analytics approach doesn't work. Becomes too predictable.

    This game pissed me off... classic Houston bs. Beat them in oracle then get blasted at home. Bs is not acceptable... exactly why it's hard to respect a Houston's sport team.

    Same **** every time GSW plays at TC. Somewhat competitive for first half and second half Rox forget how to play and GSW doesn't miss.

    Terrible freaking day.

    Houstons flooded again. Shots weren't falling against one of our most hated teams. Arena couldn't get filled. Hubie on ESPN. Terrible freaking day so far...
