    No offense, but the media wouldn’t give much of a **** if this were the Rockets’ schedule you just mentioned, so no one should care if it’s the mighty indestructible swaggering Warriors, either.

    Your stance is wrong. You use Morey as support erroneously because Morey us the very guy who signed Ariza. Ariza who helped bring in the point gawd himself. And on top of that playoff history has NOTHING to do with this season or this team. Further many other posters have debunked your claim that Ariza is having a down year simply based on his career 3 point averages because he's having career Year THIS season shooting 38% from beyond the arc.

    But you conveniently ignore facts to reiterate your contention that Ariza is not talented and that chemistry is insignificant . Your whole argument is based on the moron Draymond Green. Because he has TWO rings??? Do you realize that Ariza has a ring too?

    Just jump on the GSW wagon, I am content with this Rockets team that has handily defeated your arsehole of team TWICE in 3 games THIS season and is running oposing teams out if the gym by double digit points when healthy.

    WTF are you taking about? Ariza is simply a better player than Parsons at this point, and we surely didn't acquire Ariza for the sake of muh chemistry. It was because Morey thought Parsons was overrated and wasn't willing to pay him the max money.

    Warriors don't have great off court chemistry in general, it's just not Draymond Green. Curry & Klay aren't exactly best friends after the game is over. Stop putting words in my mouth.

    Lastly, go argue with Morey if you have problem with talent >> chemistry logic.



    "Talent, Talent, Talent" over fit

    Morey acquired Ariza because he was talented and a good fit you moron. The intangibles came with the talent. Please try to keep track of your own arguments.

    Morey acquired Ariza because Ariza is simply better than Parsons, as we should do the same when a better player than Ariza comes along, you moron.

    You still haven't responded to Ariza's atrocious playoffs performance during his years as a Rocket. I'm still waiting.

    Only playoffs I care about is the upcoming one. Rhus is a completely different team. Or are you suggesting that Harden and Paul should also be jettisoned because their poor playoff performances? Of course you wouldn't be proposing that because that line of thinking is clearly moronic.

    Ignorance much?

    Because history doesn't matter at all when predicting future performance? Are you stupid or what?

    And are you seriously comparing Ariza to Harden & CP3 who are the main focus of opposing teams' defense and get double-teamed and chit? Role players need to step up when our star players are heavily covered defensively and make 'em pay, which Ariza is incapable of doing in the playoffs.

    Too bad your own GM disagrees with you, moron.

    Stated pretty much the two biggest things; when **** got real end of first half, we played dead and when **** started getting a bit tougher in the 4th we showed up. It's still scary how we can go into those forms of sticky, iso ball with such great playmakers and a coach you KNOW doesn't advocate that. It's personnel on that one.

    I know this was because of circumstances (2 players suspended), but I believe putting Harden on Durant and Mbah a Moute on Thompson made a HUGE difference. Harden can stick with Durant and at least make him work and Mbah Moute's length gave Thompson trouble. That coupled with the fact that our guys were actually locked in defensively and switching everything ESPECIALLY the offball action which is what has been our weakness in past meetings. This game certainly provided a blueprint.

    I'm starting to understand what Morey is saying. This team was built to go to war with the Warriors. The Tucker signing is a Warriors move fosho. He has a spot on this squad. Anderson, in the playoffs either hit your 3s or play like you did last night and you are $. Gordon missed 9s and we won...wait till next time...do we play them again before the season is over? When is the last time someone has won an in season series vs GSW?
