    The Warriors live a charmed existence. Even when things go wrong for them, things end up going right. I'll believe they can lose when I see it, but after Game 5...man...all I can think about is what a missed opportunity that was.

    And, he averaged 31.5 Pts, 6.5 Rebs, and 4.5 Asts per game in that 94-95 Postseason.

    They aren't as deep as the '15 or '16 squad.

    That happens when you have the best shooter in NBA history. Curry can go nuts at anytime and I hope we are ready

    This is what shocked me. When KD went out, you obviously know that Curry is next man up.

    The Rockets simply just wouldn’t stay with him. Consistently lost him. It made zero sense. And frankly...I’m concerned it happens again tonight.

    He scored at Capela at will. D’Antoni is a grade A stubborn dumbass. The rockets were bleeding slowly the entire quarter and you knew it was gonna be a full blown hemorrhage. Dude just sat there scared and clueless

    actualy after game 5 they do have an excuse now that paul is officially no longer a scoring threat. you aren't gonna beat the warriors with just one star player. eg is hot these playofs, but you cant rely on him to give you 25-30ppg every game. his playoff avg is at 18 right now. thats as good as its gonna get.

    paul was gamble they had to take but letting ariza go w/o anyone to replace him was a big mistake. best way to stop kd or any other high wing scorer is to have two good defenders on him with a defensive center to funnel him to.

    rockets still have a small chance but harden needs to go off both games.

    btw warriors get no excuses either, esp with paul sucking. they still have 3 stars, iggy and looney. remember they have 3 (or 4?) centers they got with their late 1st round pick the past 3-4 years. one of them will pan out.

    Yeah...you could tell the Rockets weren’t winning that game very early on in the quarter. They just had no idea what to do on defense. It was disheartening.

    We’ll see how tonight goes, but I am stunned at how many people think this makes winning more likely. The Warriors are now going to be returning to the offense they’re more comfortable in. It’ll be very tough.

    Rivers was terrible and lost.

    We are going to have to blow them out when Curry and green sit. My guess is kerr staggers Klay, so we need to crush the Klay plus 4 scrubs lined lineups

    And we had Nike commercials about his return every day on every station.

    Yet somehow EVERYONE FORGOT
    the Night King = NBA

    We need a new offensive philosophy. Tired of seeing Harden dribble until there is just 6 seconds left on the shot clock and then throw the ball away.

    Probably too late to change the offense but I think playing faster would help

    Always the discussion at the bar... Thankfully we have smartphones now, before I had to carry around a vhs copy of Orlando beating Jordan.

    It certainly would have at around the 2-3 min left mark in game 5...

    So the Warriors have gone from 5 all stars to 3.

    Poor Warriors and their worries.

    Cowturd, Screamin' A, Fathorse, ...

    You win, you only did so because they were missing Kevin & DeMarcus & Stephen "wasn't 100% healthy"
    You don't, you're "chokers"

    Agreed. Should've won the last damn game too.

    If we won last game, we will lose tonight’s game. NBA will try whatever it can to push this final like series to 7 games.
