    Well... when it’s heartbreak after heartbreak especially when you're supposed to win it’s hard to keep the faith.

    The Warriors are better defenders. The Jazz have had no answer for CP3. Besides the Warriors best defense is their offense.

    I mean, I guess we'll find out, they did really well on the Pelicans tonight, but I just wanna say that the Pelicans arent like super amazing offensively like we are. But you know i dont have stats for that, could be me just being an optimist but i think we can win.

    Without looking at the stats either.... That Pelicans team is way better than the Wolves and Jazz teams we’ve played.

    There is always a chance. We are getting close to showdown.

    I will say that Warriors does not have close to the rim protection Gobert and Favors offer. If Harden and Gordon can blow by the first guy it will be easier to finish at the rim. Right now both Gordon and Harden are changing their shots at the rim due to Gobert's presence. CP is not going to the hole at all this series, he's been living at the mid-range.

    On the other hand if we don't run back on fast breaks or if we miss rotations we will get blown out by their 3's

    It will be a entirely different ball game against the Warriors if we get past the Jazz.

    Yeah IDK about GSW having 4 hall of famers. They have two as of now. Klay and Draymond would need continue to play at the same level for another 7 years for a shot at being in the HOF.

    Yeah, I wrote that after we lost to a Spurs team without Kawhi and Parker. We didn’t just lose we got blown out by 39 points in an elimination game at home which we were supposed to win or at least show some pride and go out swinging. Instead Harden shot 2-11 and scored 10 points, fouled out and looked like he quit harder than McGrady EVER did.

    I made it clear that I was optimistic and had renewed faith when we got CP3 but after a performance like tonight it brings back dark memories. I’m glad you’re oblivious to them and Harden can do no wrong in your eyes though.

    Wasn't this one of the worst defensive lineups in the league this year? I thought AI lost several steps, is he back to form now?

    I’m sorry I don’t resort to making nonsensical threads and advocate for trading Harden for packages headlined by Buddy Hield and WCS

    Iso Harden and CP3 will be too easy for Warriors to guard using the Death Lineup. They switch everything. So don't expect any type of lob to Capela. With the Jazz and Wolves, you can take advantage of their slow big men but Golden State will have none of that!

    You're trash. You will forever be known as the "Trade Harden" guy. I'm surprised you're still willing to show your face here considering the team has completely embarrassed you this year. The guy you wanted to trade? He's about to win the MVP. Nice call there genius.

    Thanks for cherry picking the worst out of my proposals. Ben Simmons and Tatum sure sound good in hindsight though.

    Obviously we chose not to rebuild since we were lucky enough to get CP3.

    they were all dumb proposals, don’t get it twisted

    trading Harden is dumb, period...most people knew this, u just happened to fall into the camp that didn’t

    obviously we chose not to rebuild because u don’t trade away an MVP caliber player...Morey isn’t stupid

    CP3 came here because he wanted to play with Harden, the guy u wanted to trade for Buddy Hield and WCS

    we'll always have a chance... now whether it's a fair chance or not... probably not.

    Literally, us playing GS is our finals...our chance to beat them will come from the defensive end. Everybody body has to be locked in, especially since the home crowd doesn’t seem to be. I’ve been to 3 playoff games so far this year, and can say if any of those crowds show up, I’d rather just play all 7 games in Oakland. PJ is gonna be the biggest key, and maybe RA, if coach decides to play him, but PJ is gonna have to knock down corner threes, and be able to keep a hand and Klays faces on switches. The thing about the Worriers is they have a great ability to shoot fast and it still be a good shot. A lot of players hesitate, when GS just shoots, and when it’s Curry, Klay or Durant, those quick shots are good shots.

    If my Son or Daughter was competing against someone, regardless of their record or previous accomplishments, I would have complete faith in them. And this is the same as I am with my Rockets. I know this team, I’m sorry (CITY) has the talent and ability to beat them in a 7 game series, Just hope it doesn’t go 7 games....not trying to go broke, especially since no more bidding on FlashSeats...lol
