    Why aren't our players required to have flu shots? 70 million pay roll, and we can't spring for 25 bucks a shot for each player?

    It means we lack depth. If every team was completely healthy then everything would be harder.

    That was an easy block to call. Pap was in the air as the other guy was in the air hopping laterally to undercut him. Never even had his feet set cause he was still landing. Smh

    Missing 3 starters. It was just going to be a rough night.

    Garbage take. You lower the collective IQ around here with this drivel.

    Ok, we took their best shot, now it's Harden time.

    That was a horrible charge call on Pappa btw...

    What a waste of a 3rd qtr from Harden... Rockets played right into GSW's hands by playing uptempo.. I think DMO should have had some touches in the paint. Even if he didn't make any shots it would have slowed the game considerably.

    Kostas needs some coaching up. There are some things he should not try to do yet.

    You didn't know? Winning by 20 on clutchfans feels like a loss.

    Missing three starters against a team as good as GS might be too much to overcome.

    Without Howard and Jones, obviously we were going to have to rely on outside shooting. At 25% it really shouldn't surprise anyone that we are down, but to be within 7 is promising.

    Bad bad Q but still a winnable game. This game with 3/5 of the starting lineup out is really exposing the team's deficiencies.

    That was no fun. Time to stir some bacon into the chili.

    They need to let Harden rest a minute

    No we do not. We are down 7 to the Warriors. Think about that.

    If the Warriors were missing either Curry or Thompson then it would be a HUGE hit to how they play.

    We can't replace Howard, even if we had a decent back up big we still couldn't replace what Howard brings.

    Any team that misses one of their star players are going to struggle and take a huge hit to how they play. Depth is something else entirely.

    Does it? Our 2nd and 3rd string are staying with a very rested elite team...

    Incoming CF Meltdown if we lose.

    "Harden back to his old ways!" (besides the fact that he is carrying the load offensively)

    "Ariza is just like he was in 09!" (except that his shooting was always going to regress from 60% and he's playing fantastic D)
