    Wonder if Lillard gets crucified in the media after this game.

    Stotts should be yanking him out of the game.

    He has been atrocious on offence, waiting for the pressure to come to him. Never attacking Curry.

    On defense, he’s somehow been so much worse. His non effort in transition has caused some of draymonds laughably easy stats.

    Absolutely putrid game for Lillard so far.

    Upon further consideration, I have finally decided who the MVP of the Warriors is.........Draymond Green.

    Seth is very slow on defense. A couple of times Stephen curry hit his brother with double moves before he even knew what happened.

    Warriors running a fast paced Princeton offense with Draymond running the show.

    He’s been hacked a lot going to the rim but no foul call. He got those fouls earlier in the playoffs but not against the Darlings of the NBA.

    It has always been Green. With Steph as 1A. Green completely took out a third of the Rockets offense by simultaneously being able to guard Harden and Clint on the PnR. No one in the league can do that.

    Scratching Harden’s eye out. Yep, I agree. He will do anything to win.

    There's way more to the story than that. He just flat out isn't playing like the stud we all know he could play like.

    The dirty play is definitely one of the biggest negatives. But he’s got the mindset of a winner for sure. Good locker room presence esp if you’ve been stuck getting over the hump in big games.

    Me too. I won't be watching many of these games (I just tuned into this one after watching the Astros), but I'm rooting for GSW to take all the championships until Harden and the Rockets take them down.

    I would be PISSED if anyone but the Rockets take them down.

    See this lineup with only Klay is trash. We should have taken advantage. :(

    Also despite how we feel about him, Draymond is incredible man. Dude is without a doubt the best defensive player in the nba and hes more than that.

    The thing that I wish Harden would learn is understanding the moment. Draymond, Iggy, Curry and a few others really understand the moment on the Warriors.

    I feel like Harden has gotten better at it, but he plays the same whether we are up 10 or down 10 (specifically on the offensive end).

    As much as people here will hate this next comment the only people on our team that understands the moment are CP3, Nene, and at times Gordon (PJ plays hard no matter what!).

    I'm torn. Warriors losing is good whether it happens this round or next, but it makes the Rockets look worse.

    I wished we had him when we fought the Jazz 12 years ago. I'd be down with him gouging out Boozer's eye.
