    But a healthy CP3 for games 6&7 last year wouldn't mean a thing. Because Iguodalalalalalalalalala.

    I'm surprised he didn't say, "We need Boogie Cousins".

    I’m really hoping the Warriors can get a 6th all star on their team next year.

    They’re seriously running out of talent on that team.

    Five all stars and the refs are not enough.

    Warriors need 6th all star to beat the Rockets.

    Yes Boogie would make a huge difference because 2 superstars and 4 total all-stars aren't enough to beat 1 superstar.

    However that ONE superstar that GSW is struggling to beat is the playoff choker.

    He would. Clint would be able to play and be a lot more effective I imagine.

    It would be nice if we had House and Manimal. Not that they’re Boogie, but really good depth.

    Boogie? It’s like Colonel Nicholson in “The Bridge over the RIver Kwai” who puts his officers to work (after being tortured to keep them AWAY from manual labor) and even solicits help from men in the camp hospital so they finish the bridge in time.

    Playing Steph, KD, et al, 43-ish minutes per game. Tape a new leg onto Boogie and bring him back; we’re desperate!

    Yeah. What a pity. Boogie would have made it an All–star team.

    He would indeed make a huge difference. In the Rockets favour that is.

    We would have torched Boogie if he started, but in truth they were always going to go with this starting 5, and Boogie would cause problems for us off the bench and with Harden resting, I don't have confidence that Paul can take even Cousins off the dribble anymore.

    Their lack of anything off the bench has been their biggest problem. They are staggering their stars, but those bench guys are truly awful and as long as we don't lose focus on completely shutting them out, we have a good advantage there.

    It's really too bad Tilman pinched pennies at the deadline and everyone was rambling on about how so and so player wouldn't "move the needle", but right now 1 additional mediocre bench player on the Rockets would give us a decisive advantage. He should have taken on salary, but let's pick this convo up in the summer. Harden is willing us to this win.

    He would be on capela. How much worse can capela play? Compare his current stats in this series with his stats against the best big in the game, embiid. Are they that much different?

    Yeah. Tucker growing 5 inches taller would make a huge difference too.

    C’mon man...that was almost 8 years ago.

    You’re implying that Warriors fans knew who this guy was in 2012.
