    I hope if CP3 can't go we play at least 8 .

    Luc and Ryan get in and green gets 20

    the more appropriate question is:

    Who steps up in Game 6 for GS? Tony, Scott or Marc

    I honestly would like to see JJ get a few minutes.

    We desperately need an easy bucket or two on the post while at the same time slowing things down.

    We need to exploit him on Curry down low.

    Luc, please, please, please get your head right. We're going to need another defender out there with no CP3.

    Is it too much to ask for the law of averages to come flooding over the team in game 6 from downtown.

    I mean, surely we're due some karma for Game 7 vs the Mavs and Game 6 last year vs the Spurs.

    It can finally be our time right to be on the other end of a blowout..... please?

    If the game is within reach by the 4q sure, otherwise treat this as an opportunity to open up the rotation and see how we should treat game 7. Gerald Green is our most volatile player and I would use him a ton in game 6 simply because we need a chucker who can eat minutes, plus his defense has looked better.

    Ryno, as great as our defense has been it’s been more than the individuals it’s the game plan. I hate this, “outscore the warriors” bs but we might have to go all in for one game with it. Bring road ryno out

    I wouldn't focus on winning Game 6. I would treat the next two games as a sequence. Use Game 6 to prepare the guys you're going to need in Game 7. Presumably Luc, maybe some Anderson, and maybe (don't shoot me) Aaron Jackson. You have 48 minutes of real PT, against the actual opponent, to get your guys connected defensively so they can minimize blown assignments. That 48 minutes is the luxury Chris Paul earned for you by gutting out a win in Game 5. Use it.

    Aaron Jackson can be used to bring the ball up

    Game 6 is the game you want these guys to officiate, especially since CP3 will more than likely be out. This may have to be a "punt" game for us to be fully ready to go for game 7. Who knows, maybe the Warriors suffer another sprain themselves which would leave them vulnerable for Monday night back in Houston. Time to run out a deeper rotation and let the cards fall where they may.

    Nene can play on west. 5 min a game maybe. Start the game with ryno for 5 min. ISO joe got 5 at the end of the 2nd.

    You can win without cp. you just need harden to attack with the mindset of getting 20 assists

    I amn't Nostradamus but we look alright in 6. But to make us return for game 7 somebody from GSW team have to step up.

    Gerald Green should be an option because he's actually in the 7 man rotation, definitely feel like if you give Green enough time on the court he's ready to take as many shots as you can give him. Harden needs occasionally mix in faster, more efficient offensive plays because we were fortunate to have CP3 and Gordon carrying out team on both ends of the floor.

    Maybe the REFEREES will let both teams play and not call these amazing fouls so often. If Luc can make his few layups and a few 3's we might be in good shape to finish this series off. I'm expecting a huge sense of urgency and push from GS, I can definitely see a Green vs Green tech battle ensuing if G.Green gets more playing time in game 6.

    We gotta find a way to tire out gsw in the next game without tiring out our starters. Put Ryno in and we just start launching 3’s 60 of them and stay back on defense.

    Scott Foster will be the lead official for our game 6. Marc Davis will do game 6 for the east.

    As for the other two officials don't know yet, but Brothers is due a game. Has only reffed one game so far in the ConFinals.

    Harden Iso Joe PnR for at least 5 min each half to get Curry on Iso Joe. Back him down and get some playmaking out of the post.

    It's all hands on deck. Must have urgency ... close them out if you got the opportunity.

    i hear ya, but i dont think MDA will make many changes. 1 guy out (paul), 1 guy in (luc?).

    believe it or not we are winning with defense. even though without paul, ryno could help space the floor for harden and ego... he will get burned on D. luc may not give us much but he can stay in front of his man and make the rotations on time. we will have to hope harden, ego, green can get enough points.
