    If the Warriors do win this series, I want the Cavs to win the East. The NBA deserves to be reduced to a rerun every year.

    Yea 1 pt from a starter (tucker) isnt gonna cut it. Luc 0 points playing 17 mins isnt gonna cut it. Gordon starting to find his to late. Next game gonna show what we made of. I just pray they stay focused

    It was worse. The Rockets were blown out in the first two games at home.

    Ariza tried. They blew a whistle every time he moved his feet.
    Hard to defend when you get a whistle for trying

    Gordon also had 4 TOs - I'm pretty sure they all turned into fast break points for GS.

    I think our energy level just dropped after that call, and there was way too much of that tonight.

    We don't need to waste energy, which seems to be in such short supply, in being emotional, complaining about calls, non-calls, or anything else. If this game shows us anything it's that if we lose our focus the Warriors won't. They are battle tested, know their roles, and know how to play championship caliber ball.

    The early checklist is simple: Eliminate our five or six dead possessions on offense (in which we literally dribble out the clock), get focused at the free throw line, tighten up some defensive sets on backdoor plays, and contest passing lanes with more conviction. Make those adjustments and come up with another wrinkle or two, and I think we'll be fine.

    But sleepwalk or complain in game two and the Warriors will pounce.

    We are capable of beating them. Just have to make some adjustments.
    If we don't win Game 2 this series is over

    Anderson should do himself a favor and not even bother showing up to the arena next game

    The Rockets were the defending champs. It’s quite the opposite in this case. The Rockets were arguably also the more talented team.

    I really hate the Warriors but man we just have to play so perfect to beat them. Every time we commit a turnover it really hurts this team.

    Tucker is not going to score 20 pts every game, like in the first regular season win over them.

    It's like they dun have the energy conserved to play perfect on both sides.....role players.

    The Warriors gave time to David West (had a layup and a couple of passes to players) and also Nick Young (three 3 pointers).

    From a Warriors fan perspective, all the press said that it was likely, that West and Young wouldn't get much playing time out there. Yet, due to the lineups / matchups, West and Young contributed.

    There was also a lot of pub about Harden's defense had improved. While that may be true, KD and Curry easily went around Harden for layups.
