    I feel so conflicted about this first quarter. We locked the Warriors down, but they're not going to shoot like garbage for four straight quarters. It's incredibly dismaying that we're only up by six.

    if we could hit some open shots, we would have been up by atleast 15 points. Unfortunately, we let them off the hook

    Chris Paul needs to take over this next quarter and not be so passive. He can’t wait until the second half.

    So many missed opportunities already. So frustrating. Imagine if we just made half of our open shots. Be up 15+ easily.

    they are ****ing lucky. We have a lot of jitters from the home crowd. At least the defense is still there

    We should have been up by double digits if we made the open shots. But the defense is stellar and it's good to get Capela and Green going early!

    they brought their defense from the 4th quarter of game 4.


    they also brought their offense from game 3

    Harden had a somewhat Forceful Forearm on Draymond's face during that loose-ball situation.

    Hell Yeah !!

    Home court actually being an advantage consistently for us for a change.

    I feel that way too.

    i think the warriors have never been punched in the mouth. their confidence/egos might take a huge hit tonight which they may not recover from by saturday

    It’s still all about defense. I liked what I saw on that end. If they keep up the defense eventually they will hit some shots.

    KD seems the be the only guy on GS who came to play. Rockets have to adjust and account for that on defense.
