    Re fukn lax.

    I'd rather him say swag than the over used "we got our MOJO back"

    My takeaway is as long as Harden, Capela, Luc, Tucker, Ariza, Nene, Green, EGO and CP3 (even with ONE LEG) are playing, GSW can be beaten.

    Wore my Rockets shirt to the gym this morning out here in Los Angeles and had someone shout out at me "Great win last night huh?!".

    Rockets made noise with that win.

    Not sure where all the Ariza hate came from since last night. Dude is the quintessential 3 and D guy who shoots at a great clip and is good for 2 steals and several deflections a night. Knows his role and does all the little things all for less than $8 a year. The hell else do you people want? Ariza is a tremendous wing piece on this team along with Luc, Gordon, and Green. Stop worrying about who starts and realize fully healthy this team is very well constructed. Lots of depth, three playmakers, and great defensive additions in Luc, Paul, and Tucker.

    If Ryno would consistently hit about 3-5 3s a game and we played top 5 defense I think we win it all. Since I’m not optimistic that those will happen moving Ryno out and getting LeBron in next year will put us over the top.

    Just ignore everything that comes out of a reporters mouth.

    It was a fantastic win. I mean,
    The 17-0 stat simply cannot be over looked. I give Capela props on a nightly basis, but my word that guy is in shape. Running side to side for a pick and roll for Harden and Paul, then the boxing out and hustle for rebounds.

    If those three can stay healthy... this is going to be some fun basketball!

    My problem isn’t with GS Warriors, it’s their right to put out the best talent and product they can. It’s more to do with the favoritism by the NBA for them.

    It’s just sad when the media and the league become fans of a team.

    After Rockets win 4 out 6 against Warriors in May, they will say the Rockets cannot do it again next year!

    Ryno is a pretty smart and powerful low post player and has been better than both Nene and Black has in multiples sequences of defending and securing the rebound and that's not to take anything away from any of those 2 especially Nene. Ryno's shot isn't falling his going into the post and doing decently. He got like what? 13 rebounds last night on how many critical possessions and did a decent job defending Green and other Warriors bigs in the paint. Go back and look at the footage. This could be a helping cause in moving his $80million dollar contract... Would be nice if he were to buy out his current contract and come play for cheaper in a new semi-post role. All about preserving the team chemistry too.

    Curry fouled Harden twice on that play. Harden just drained the three pointer as if there were no foul.

    I like it. Harden knows Curry has no chance of guard him, foul or no foul.
