    Well that rules out the second seed and certainly the number one seed is gone. Thompson and boogie were good and that was the game. Got nothing out of Faried and Rivers was awful. Paul tried hard but his last quarter outside of that three point play was not great. Harden was terrible all night .

    Lastly Clint needs to be under the damn bucket rebounding the ball not out at the three point ball when there is a contested rebound up for dispute

    No Nene, no House, they took ours. All shot poorly and still a chance to win the game. No confidence in MDA though.

    PJ can not have too many nights like this. I love him, and he played great defense tonight, but we need more than 3 points from him.

    When exactly did Shump earn his minutes? He went out with a injury and then came back to the rotation as if he's been with the team all season.

    I'm all for D.House getting minutes but can understand why he didn't this game, having not practiced with the team for months.

    If he's still not playing next week, by all means, get out the pitchforks and storm the TC asking for MDA's head. But today it's understandable he was riding the pine

    What's funny to me now is:

    Rockets fans "we lost cause we didn't play House"

    Warriors fans "we won cause we didn't play Durant"

    Iggy, Livingston, and Green had a combined total of 7 points. So we did a good job of shutting them down. And we made a really nice run in the end which is a major step in the right direction. If Harden was himself we would have won the game no prob.

    I’ll say it again Clint needs to be under the damn bucket when there is a rebound up for dispute instead of guarding the three point line. Harden needs to snap out of his shooting slump pronto.. if you’re injured sit and heal if not stop shooting so many threes.

    I love Paul’s gritty attitude but he just can’t go for a sustained period anymore. He gets fatigued and throws some uncharacteristic turnovers now. His minutes need to come down

    Our version of shump is an idiotic shell of the knicks' version.

    Agreed

    I think that with a wrist injury to deal with at the same time as general wear and tear it makes sense to give him a couple of games off ....

    And IMO the sooner the better .

    He's getting bothered much more on his stepbacks . Part of that is the league adjusting , part of it is James not jumping as far lol

    Clutchfans,

    Credit where credit is due. Let’s all congratulate the Worriers for making the STATEMENT by blowing out the Rockets by 2 points on the road.

    Well done!

    Na they just was being to cute. That's a sign of a bad coach. Let's not run the one play curry on harden or boogie on harden that's yields the greatest chance of scoring

    I fear the Beard's dribbling and contested 3s against elite defenses-- the metamorphosis from MVP Harden into "playoff Harden." Maybe it's his wrist, but it seems like he's less decisive, wastes too much clock. Hope he studies this game, and the game we won in Oracle without him. And I hope he gets his superhuman powers back come playoffs.

    This loss was a team loss, though. Needed a little bit more from everyone, players, coach, and crowd. Well, we need a lot more from the crowd.

    I don’t think Vince Edward could have played any worse then Shumpert. At least Vince is a solid three point shooter
