    Unfortunately when Iggy is back we likely don't get that switch.

    Fortunately, if he's in the game, he's just a 22% 3 point shooter who we can play the percentage game with.

    Unfortunately when Iggy is back for Golden State, he doesn't make the shots that Swaggy P does.

    See how easy this game is?

    You could play a lot of "what if" scenarios with this one. What if Curry had a half decent game, what if Ariza and Green had played, what if Swaggy didn't hit 90% of his 3s against Houston, What if Gordon and/or Ryno gave us anything tonight, etc.

    The big story isn't whether we win that game under slightly different circumstances - it's that as absolutely dominant as GS has been the last several years, we have showed we can hang with them this year and that's a big difference from earlier years where our only path to beating the Warriors was Harden dropping damn near a 50+pt triple double - in other words, stuff that doesn't happen very often. Against a team as dominant as the Warriors, if you got a chance to take the game down to the last few possessions, that's a very positive sign regardless of the final score. That's just the reality of playing possibly the best team of all time.

    Second game back after an absence of seven, after a serious injury. A HUGE performance from JAMES HARDEN! Nothing less than remarkable!

    17 or 18-0 with a Harden/CP3/Capela in the lineup, including 2-0 against GSW? Not too shabby

    Same place as earlier where they watched the all state commercial.
    Hehe that was hilarious though. Ariza watching the game and going wild after that dagger.

    Damn, I welcome Stromile but he was Stromile Soft when he played for us, never got to Allstar status that Mergady promised.

    One of my take aways: rested/fewer minutes Harden = best Harden

    This season Harden has been playing above average defense, I am seeing hustle and active hands. The Rockets may not be the best at blocking shots, but they are #3 in steals per game.
    A steal measures higher then blocks only because a steal is a turnover that leads to fast breaks and many other opportune scoring in transition.

    Harden also had a block on someone's runner in the lane in the first half.... I want to say it was on Curry, not sure.

    My special purpose elongated after this game. Winning the season series against these f*cksticks made my week.

    Unfortunately when Iggy plays the Rockets he is a 98% three point shooter.
