    We didn't change the whole gameplan. But there are definitely more ball movements and guys like Tucker, Ariza and EGo are more ready to take an open shot.

    10 to 1. So if GS scores 30, their opponents score 3?

    Also...Ariza is my freaking hero. You can't play better defense than he did on Durant.

    we're playing fluid offence. start with iso, reading the defense, off ball movement, backdoor cuts resulting in scrambling defense. GS doesn't have a clue what to do, their switches are all in a panic. beautiful

    So happy with the adjustments. The drive and kick couple with playing the passing lanes more on D is great.

    Hopefully they continue

    Honestly, we just had to stop the pick and roll with Clint. Just isn't working here. Now we just screening Curry on the ball and attacking. It's working.

    I thought the Rockets did really well in the 3rd quarter most games? The Rockets usually start slow but always seem to bring it in the third most games.

    Lol I thought the same thing ...chuck needs to shut his mouth with stats and stick to “eye test” talk.

    But shoving him in front of a ref is not a solution...

    we would be up about 24 if not for the BS foul calls against us while ignoring the nonstop bumps to our players on the perimeter. this fuking league is a ******* joke

    We needed those 5 pts we gave up there at the end. 3rd qtr Warriors is the team you have to worry about.

    Here is the crazy thing.
    On Thompson's chest bumps....Harden should have flopped.

    I wanna see vintage Harden when he just takes it coast to coast and lay it up

    I remember he did that against the Spurs when he was with OKC and demoralized them

    Why? Other than the idiotic push off, he's played a much smarter game. He may not have the points he did in game one, but he's starting his drive early in the shot clock tonight, which is huge.
