    Harden and CP3 need to attack more quickly on iso switches. That's how we get the ball moving. Otherwise the only option is a contested off the dribble J.

    We could be soon if we're not careful. The Warriors are very tough coming out of the half. The Rockets better be ready.

    He refuses to throw the lob! Sometimes that's the only pass he can make. He's been ignoring clint on lobs all season.

    They need to get back to those simple top of the key screen with EGo and hand off for a three. EGo just needs to hit his damn shots.

    Oh. And I can't believe we still don't know how to guard Livingston. He literally has one shot. Put a tall mother f'er on him please.

    We play so dumb sometimes. I'm glad its tied, but I feel like we should be up by like 8 going into the half.

    But we are tied and it's taken a great game from Durant to keep them in the game.

    It may not be how championship teams win, but any other team would be down 30 to the Warriors right now.

    We slow the pace down, if GSW is going to make all their contested shots, oh well, tip the cap, go on to game 2.

    Bleeding the clock works against these guys because it limits how many shots their amazing shooters gets. It is the only way you even have a shot against this team.

    Warriors shot 54% and it's a tie.

    Gordon needs to step up.
    Defense needs to further improve.
    Try to resolve the CP switched to Durant situation.

    We got this!!!!!!!

    Harden had a lot of great moments to keep game tied

    He also had multiple bad moments just killing possessions

    Overall though he’s played great.

    We need SOMEONE to get hot. Warriors are tied with us because they have a role player hitting shots. We are tied with them because we don’t

    I'm in the arena and can clearly see the TNT guys , the only one even watching the game was Ernie . Chuck came back with about 4 minutes in the half . Kenny and shack prolly were in a club snacking and busy brown nosing

    Dribbling down court and dumping it to Durant is a beautiful ball moving offense. Never been seen before, and it's keeping every one in rhythm!

    So according to TNT,

    Time to change up everything and play more like Golden State. Got it!

    Excited to see what Mike has in store for 2nd half. I expect to see more Capela.
