    One of those games we played Capela and Faried at the same time...it worked out very well for us.

    Also, no injuries that game for them. Durant, Curry, Klay, even Cousins played...

    Rockets lost this game in the first quarter. We need to be better starting games. We were the best 1st quarter team in the regular season..

    Rockets have no answer for Durant.

    Whenever they need a bucket, he gets it for them. Rockets just don’t have that guy right now. He gets whatever he wants no matter the situation. He’s not even working hard for it either, it’s just so easy for him.

    Put capela on him he driving right by him like he’s not even there. Put anybody else on him and he shoots right over them like a chair.

    Drive, Transition, Free throws, Mid Range pull up, Post. Catch and shoot 3, 3 off the dribble, 3 off screens, etc.

    Capela is a liability against the Warriors without Cousins. Too slow, terrible free throw shooter, can't finish, Draymond owns him.

    There's no reason to be playing him 30+. Embarrassing performance by both Capela and the coaching staff for not benching him when there were better options.

    How does Rivers only play 24 minutes when he was a +10 and shot the ball well? We need to play 4 guards if we need to. Play our best 5 -- period.

    CP played like normal NBA player.

    We just cant beat 3 stars players Warrors with Harden only.

    No.

    Clippers can win the game with 31pts trailing.

    We played like we lead 10pts all the game.

    It's ok, they have to bounce back at home. Still can get the series.
    I still believe

    No just no, stop the bs narrative, its the refs that broke the league not Durant.. durant and gsw would have lost last year were it not for the refs ...

    and even this year series would at least be even if not 2- 0 for houston it it were not for the refs

    so stop saying he broke the league

    Yea thats what i said... we have pointgod standing on the perimeter watching Harden dribble and trying to get the switch(which he does like a granny btw allowing defender to recover while wasting 10sec). Im so tired of this Harden iso system... not only we are designed to loose in playoffs we play the less joyful ball since jvg era

    G2 was an absolute cluster. At 1 point we had Shumpert, House, and Faried our on the floor at the same time. First 15 minutes were downright embarrassing. And yet we were within 3 with 6 minutes to play. We can still win, and I know they think they can still win. Expect a G3 W and a 6 or 7 game series.

    Harden / CP / Gordon / PJ / Clint / Rivers / Nene with a dash of House - that should be our rotation and we should stick to it.

    I will pay you 10 000€ if you show me one post where I say anything about Lin EVER. The only thing you can name me along those lines is either TMac or Hakeem fan, and now CP and Harden. I just see greatest where it is and CP is one of the best playmakers to touch basketball. We have him standing still. Its dumb and its taking him for granted

    That's a silly saying. So if a home team doesn't lose did the playoff series never happen?

    Looks like my decision to go to bed instead of watching and going to bed pissed was the correct one. We even shot 42% from 3.

    The 3 out of 4 in the regular season sadly meant precisely d*ck

    We don't cut or move around. We're so easy to guard and predictable.
