    Yup. Need other guys to step up too. 30 extra minutes just opened up. Maybe give green more minutes and try to see if luc can play well for a change.

    This is reason Iso Joe was signed. This is his break glass moment.

    Ryno and Luc also have to nut up. MDA has to throw GSW a curveballs and expand rotation now.

    He can’t have an MVP game if the Warriors force the ball out of his hands. If his teammates are aggressive to begin with then they won’t be able to do such a thing the whole game and then he can have an MVP game

    mvp caliber players impose their will on the game in one way or the other. already setting up an excuse for him just isn't cutting it. it starts with him. theres no way going around that. if he doesn't play well then hou gets blown out tomorrow easily no matter what the rest of the team does. this is GS not some fake playoff pretender

    I'm not optimistic, it's the way things are. We'll win game 6 or 7. Igoudala will be back and it won't matter, Jimmy and EGo got it. Don't you worry. This team has all the looks of a champion. Don't ever underestimate their hearts, you know that. Ariza and PJ deserve that, what they're doing in D is unseen in recente NBA history, if ever. We'll shut them down and James will take over when it matters. CP3 better be preparing himself for the finals, we'll need him. We're waiting for you in team Don't-matter-what-happens-from-now-on-we'll-destroy-the-living-soul-of-the-fukin'-Worriers. We've gone this far, guys won't back down now. I can feel it. Board this new team and you'll see what I'm talking about.

    Harden said if he need to play 48 minutes he will play 48 minutes. This is it Beard. We can do this!

    Gordon obviously has to step up, but green now has to step into Gordon’s roll. Luc will have to play a mirrored version of green, ie passable on offense, energy and positive plays on defense. ISO joe and ryno only for spot minutes in certain situations.

    I see you boarded and got the first seat, go get a cold one and get yourself ready for tomorrow ;)

    I mean, I feel sad FOR CP3, because he desearved to be on the floor shimmying all over Curry's corpse chocked him with his discusting mouthpiece when the final buzzer sounds. Won't look as cool having Paul in a suit doing that, gotta stay classy. But I'm not sad for the team, the victory will be that much sweeter, I'm confident as hell. so is our beam of reason Max Kellerman, no reason to worry. Couldn't reasist the joke sorry... :p

    Exactly. This is GS. Not some eastern conference team. Did Anthony Davis impose his will? How did that turn out? 4-1. Wow
    Again. This is not the Eastern Conference. It’s the Warriors. Why do you think if Cleveland faced Golden State most people would predict 4-1 GS? Isn’t Lebron the greatest player in the league? It’s because one player, MVP or not, doesn’t stand a chance against the Warriors.

    People act like Harden hasn't been the focal point for this team for the last five seasons and that he's been CP3's second banana this whole team. He's our go to guy.

    And no, if we lose it's not because he's 'mentally soft' or didn't try hard enough or whatever your high school PE teacher said. We lose because we're playing against one of the most stacked teams in modern history in a do or die game after Harden has carried us for an 82 game season and two rounds of playoffs in a loaded West.

    yeah AD did what he could to give themselves a chance to win. your best player has to play well to give yourself a chance to win, especially when one of your best players is out. thinking that harden doesn't need to step up with a mvp type game and can beat GS is just delusional. youll get a reality check real quick tomorrow if that happens

    Harden had an MVP type game in Game 1 and they lost. You listen to the media too much.
    Every team game plans against Harden first and the other guys second. Main difference between Harden and AD is AD doesn’t have to handle the ball up court. Our best and most realistic chance of beating the Warriors is if GS’s defence is zoned in on Harden and the other guys make them pay for that.
    Either way I’m pretty heartbroken about this. I don’t see how CP can come back for Game 7 and be as effective, and thus I don’t see how we can pull off a win. It sucks. It really sucks. We were so damn close.
