    Finally get to play the Warriors with a healthy team. Hoping the Rockets can follow up the Thunder game with another statement win.

    We will win tonight. I expect Harden to have 45.

    I like to see Houston attack Warriors with the inside game.

    Key is to limit Green and Speights contributions. Steph and Klay gonna get theirs so if we can limit the others, we win.

    Should be a great game. It's on my tv tonight, so I won't have to catch a stream since I'm staying this weekend at my parents. The game starts at 3am, but I still can't wait for it!

    Leet's Goo Roockets!!

    Gotta play mistake free smart basketball like we did against the Thunder. The Warriors will go on runs. Have to play disciplined and not get caught up in shooting a ton of 3s of we aren't hitting them and they are.

    I felt like this was a more winable game than the OKC game, for various reasons; OKC needed that game more, GSM would be playing the 4th game in 5 nights, Rockets need to win this for a potential tie in head to head match ups.

    That being said, this game won't be easy. GSO knows that a victory cliches the tie breaker.

    We win if:
    - Harden gives MVP performance
    - Howard has a 20-10 game.
    - Bench provides a spark
    - We hit 14+ threes efficiently.
    - We run at every opportunity to test GS' legs

    No Howard post ups, no J Smith threes, Ariza needs to hit some shots and Harden needs to go off! I want the same team that played against the Thunder to play tonight, they looked hungry and motivated. We need that every game.

    we own the warriors, but this season, just because we had our injuries...the warriors seem to be under the impression that they can beat us. Time to knock some sense into em.

    I partially agree with this. Bogut will be another factor. We will also have to slow Klay down, and prevent Steph from exploding. We can't match their shooting, but we will have to make our shots too. Defense, rebounding, and passing will be key for us. Gotta make our FT's too. We can't over rely on Harden.

    I hope to see ball moving around DMo. The guy currently shows good form so why not using him more, especially when he is better at posting than Dwight.

    I think the key is Thompson.

    Do not let him explode.

    Jump passing lanes and put Bev on him.

    Curry uses screens so much, that its almost a null point to have your best defender on him.

    Draymond Green is the x factor they gotta contain him and Speitz and this could be a statement game.

    Thompson has been a non-factor the last 2 years against us..it's mostly been their roleplayers (Draymond, Speights, Livingston) that have killed us.

    Weird. Thompson was a factor the last two games in which we lost.

    Games in which he was a non factor, we won.

    Proving my point BRO!

    They did that last time and he shut DMo down. I'm more worried about Speights going off again.
