    This Houston team is going to be really good and win a lot of games. Unfortunately I don’t think that matters against GSW. They’re too damn good.

    little chemistry and CP3 not playing well yet we dropped 88 through 3 against 1 of the best defensive teams in the NBA on the road

    The communication is not there right now. I've seen it happen way too much tonight where one of the guys does not switch off and we end up with one open man to the basket. I hope Jeff B fixes this. I know team needs to get more familiar with one another, but calling out switches and picks is really elementary stuff.

    People need to relax. It's just game 1. Remember last year when they lost to the Lakers on opening night?

    I knew the Warriors couldn't keep up with that 64% FG Shooting from 3's!!!

    Now they are only shooting 59% FG from 3's

    This is my concern, if he's out there limping around he should not be playing.

    Yup. We haven't really seen the Rockets play with a healthy Chris Paul yet. Chill out guys.

    Not sure they could have. Perfect storm.... salary cap jump, OKC blows a 3-1 lead and Durant was a FA.

    Add Nene to our bench unit and we are looking good. Gordon looks great but can't finish at the line. PJ Tucker is fitting in and it will take the team a few months to find their mojo i reckon

    He is hurt. He was limping earlier. I think he is just playing conservative. If you ask me, I rather the Rox look at this **** long term and get him to sit a week to let the knee bruise heal. No point in risking further injury right now.

    the warriors would not have beaten lebron and healthy cavs squad without kd.. dont listen to those idiots talking about ballmovement wins games... kawhi when was healthy had the dumbs down 20 on the homecourt in game 1, before zaza injured him.. What style does kawhi play. Same goes for LeBron in 2016 what style does the cavs play

    this emphasis on ball movement, is trying to make the warriors something they arent
