    I mean clearly rockets are the best threat to the warriors we can't let the spurs win and watch a snooze fest next round. Spurs have no reason to make it this team is too talented to lose to these spurs. Dantoni needs to come up with new offensive plays since he's an off3nsive guru. The real rockets team blew this spurs team out. There is no reason this spurs team should even stand a chance. If spurs advance they will be beat by the warriors on avg 20 points a game. Rockets are the only threat to the warriors

    Need to try something to shake things up. I like this and instead of Anderson I would like Harrell to get some PT.

    yeah, I didn't want to mention it. This spurs illegal defense has been blatant but I'm used to it after the last series.

    When have when seen this called, except for tonight? The spurs are getting away with fouls left and right but when it's the rockets they swallow the whistle

    Pop has owned the offensive genius MDA going back to his sun's days.

    I wish we had Westbrook instead of Harden for this series... we need a aggressive player not a careless one.

    There's no threat to the Warriors tbh...Rockets or Spurs, both are going to get their ass whopped.

    JB tried twin towers last season and it was terrible. Even if Ryan misses all his shot he still creates space for Harden to operate.

    James says we just have to play better.

    Why didn't he think of that before???

    Figured James would have a good scoring game...his numbers does NOT mean he played well. He too must have to shoulder blame. That being said...the really need to find a way to get consistent scoring from the bench brigade...

    MDA needs to make an adjustment for game. Spurs have clearly stymied Rox offensive flow. Either matchup with them and play two bigs to start or start Anderson at C and move Gordon into starting lineup. Team will have to crash boards and double in the post, but then at least Gasol can't sit in the lane.

    The rockets at there full potential would push the warriors to 7 games

    Well. Here is the reality now. We have two paths to win the series.

    1. We have to win 3 in a row
    2. We have to win game 7 in San Antonio

    Yea. Game 3 was important.
