    What?? No..... being down 3-0 would not be sweet at all. That's insane. This Warriors team is not losing 3 in a row let alone 4.

    We are going to win this game.

    I believe. Clutch City is too real.

    Rockets win.

    Rockets 103

    Played well enough to win 1 or 2 games in GS

    Must win tonight, obviously. If we get both at home, it's hard to say what happens next. I do wonder if we missed out on our only opportunities to steal one over there. On the one hand, Harden has played incredibly, so if he sustains that, we will have another chance at Oracle. But on the other hand, Thompson has been shut down. Does that continue? Hopefully we can get these two at home and be competitive and steal game 5 in Oakland

    It's do or die and that's how the players should see it and go play with the most energy.

    Just letting you guys know, I was wondering why there wasn't a final 2 min officiating report for game 2 and realized that it was a 6 pt game at the 2 min mark. The review is only released if it is 5 pts or less.

    Oh sweet Scott Foster and Zack Zarba. This will go perfectly. We won't get screwed at all!

    Rockets have shown so much heart and effort. Can't be disappointed. A few bounces and shots go our way and we easily win games 1 and 2. Time for us to show the rest of the world who we are. Smith and Brewer need to show up. We need to play good D, H&H boys need to do work, and never let our foot off the pedal. Put it all out there. Let's go and do our part. Whatever happens will happen.

    Jet and Ariza are keeping the glue together.

    Harden will get his.

    We've got this one, unless we have a massive meltdown from a certain suit and tie.

    Time outs are great. They stop momentum.

    We'll let that last play slide because you said you TRUSTED your guy, but really, a timeout, with a simple pick and roll would have been a decent shot.

    Who said I want to be down 3-0. Was saying today is must win. But if we don't get it then yea. It would be sweet history to come back from 0-3. Make no mistake. I do NOT want to be in a position to make that kind of history. I want to go in to game 5 tied 2-2

    Rewatching game 2 and Prigioni was not engaged and connected to the flow. He really hurt the team in the late 1st/early 2nd with his poor effort and IQ. The PG position in general is the weak link to the team. Would have been nice to pick up a more competent option midseason. Hindsight and all that, Im just hoping the Grandpa's can get a boost from the crowd, compete and at least make it difficult for Curry. That guy is out there freestroking, and resting on defense. Cant happen, gotta make him work and hack his butt, make him earn it. Making it way too easy.

    Good to hear. If he can get 19 and 16 on a bum knee, imagine what he can do once it heals.
