    The Warriors didn't blow us out, so I'm glad about that. But we still got out of position so often that it made their scoring ridiculously easy.

    My favorite play of the game was actually watching Curry airball a 3.

    James had a good night tonight. It frustrates me more though, you can tell he's motivated playing against Steph. Needs to be motivated every night like last year though.

    Lawson talking that stupid **** in the off season about how he's gonna make things tough for Curry, b**** the only thing you gonna make is a damn sandwich on the bench you drunk, pathetic, useless, peon.

    Any idiots out there still want to pretend it's Harden's fault we're a .500 team right now?

    Anybody blaming Harden is a straight butt reaming lamo... He did all he could with whatever scheme was out there.

    we tried , gave our all and still failed. This team has no chance of beating GS, anyone saying otherwise is delusional including anyone talking about conditioning being the only thing holding us back.

    Start of the 4th...NO offense...DMo..helps in moments like that. But to allow 2 back to back 3's from Iguodala and Barnes...just was crushing.

    The need a rebounding 4 to pair along either Dwight of Capela.

    IMO... I think the Rockets should consider having Smith as the 5 and then have Harden, MT, Ariza, and Bev. They may have a chance.

    PS. Harden is gonna be burnt out...tom. Looking like a back to back loss.

    Monday night Quaterback Houston got back in the game and took the lead with Smith on the bench.

    Bogut out played Dwight. Dwight was awful on defense he didn't bother contesting many layups and there were multiple times down the stretch he didn't even bother to jump for a rebound. He provides nothing on offense unless he gets set up directly in front of the rim and is a major liability with his free throws. I wouldn't care if he were traded.

    I wonder if Klay Thompson will come out and say he is the best shooting guard after his poor performance tonight

    i get what you are saying. it would be interesting to see what happens if a great pg was put aside harden. he wouldn't have to create so much and would seemingly have more energy for other parts of the game. but what do i know haha

    I only saw the fourth quarter and a minute left of the third. so perhaps I'm making an irrational statement.

    I saw Harden carrying the team with drives, layups and passes. I saw Lawson be a defensive sieve and do absolutely nothing, saw Howard punked by Bogut and brick his FTs, and Brewer be useless. Bev seemed hurt or not entirely 100%. Ariza did show-up. Thornton seemed to at least be trying.

    For GS, everyone seemed to know exactly what their roles were and how to execute. From Curry to Barnes & Iggy, to guys like Barbosa and Livingston.

    Harden went 10-14 in the last three quarters and had only 1 turnover

    We need to play like this every night or else we are not making playoffs to be honest

    We can afford losses like this, but not getting shat on by ****ing Portland
