    We also jack up more 3s based on our system.
    EG is a better 3 point shooter, but as a pure scorer, Lou Williams .

    EG fits our system.

    Yes, we're all hoping for health.

    Rockets are better this postseason than last.

    Sweet Lou with 36 and 11 giving GS the business...that’s why he’s in my top 5 favorite players

    dude just gets buckets

    CP3 is better short term but those 3 are better long term.

    CP3 is still a good defender and offensive player.

    He's like a combination of Lou and Beverley.

    Cp3 is washed up bro. He can’t blow by anybody. And has become a bit turnover prone. Yes he is better than bev. But with Lou and rivers along with Gordon they can offset anything Chris is currently giving us especially at his contract

    We lucked out not having to play the clippers. Really reminded me of how we lost to them twice in the season. No.

    Forget the 3's I'm talking about touches. Lou would fit the system fine if he was given all the touches he could handle.

    This is a shoutout to our team that you better play 48 minutes of basketball or anyone can beat you

    Can't wait for Charles's tears on the Locked On Warriors podcast. Should be quite tasty!

    This is why I’m saying it was a win win for both teams. I always loved Lou’s game but he just didn’t fit here as a ball dominant scorer even off the bench when we have Harden a much better version in terms of what they bring and Having Gordon as well.

    For the Clippers Lou can thrive cause he’s the number 1 option and a starter getting heavy minutes so he can also find his rhythm much easier early on every game. For us sometimes he couldn’t always get it going since he came off the bench and was often used as a spot up, catch and shoot guy. That’s not his forté.

    To me the comeback is all PBev. That pit bull mentality of his rallied everyone else on that team.

    sorry, but the Clippers are nothing to worry about...Rockets would’ve handled them no problem

    we lost to them when we were trash and still had Melo...those games don’t even count

    There was no room for unlimited touches though with Harden. So he didn’t fit the system fine.
