    I see why Kerr rested Bogut/Iggy and Curry practically took the night off last night....they wanted to blow out the Rockets and Curry saved his best game against us for that MVP. Smart Kerr. He even still has Curry in during garbage time to pump up his stats.

    Curry a smart player, his legs were dead from 3 in the first half so what did he do? 2nd half started assassinating and slashing instead of shooting the 3.

    Harden needs a running mate in the backcourt. For nights like this and there'll be many more once teams imitate what GSW did here.

    Did anyone here think we were better than the Warriors? no real reason to believe that. but uninspired efforts will always draw fans ire

    they are the real deal. i thought they'd fall down to the middle seedings but they havent lost a step. and they did it mostly without their starting pf and c. dayum

    The team is rarely prepared for the opponent, Mchale is the core problem here. Mentally not switched on, no attention to detail, no adjustment other than going small.

    No question about it, they look light years better than they did against us the first 2 games and we were missing lots of of players just doesn't make sense except that McHales awful and stupid offense was completely shut down, and our D was the worst it's been all year long.

    Also, Harden won't win MVP. Has nothing to do with this game though. Everything to do with record.

    Someone already showed that you don't win MVP unless your team is 1st or 2nd best. So Harden isn't going to win it unless GSW starts to fall down the standings and the Rockets move out of this 3-5th seed spot they have been hovering at about all year long.

    We're getting blown out at home and gave up 100 points in 3 quarters. It's justified tonight

    Of course it's just one game. But so was Orlando. So was Chicago. So was New Orleans. Guess what. That's 4 out of our last 10 games. We're 6-4 in that stretch and that 4 game winning streak sandwiched in the middle was against the depleted Cavs, the D-League Knicks, the Jazz at home, and the freefalling Nets.

    The Rockets' lone victory over a quality opponent during the last 10 games is against OKC the other night. And it's hard to get excited over a win like that when 2 nights later they lay an egg like this.

    Warriors are back to back, still easily give us blowout. Make our coach like an idiot.

    Harden already lost his MVP to curry.

    The team can't run.
    McHale didn't understand how to adjust too many times

    Did you forget what we did to Portland last year during the season and what they did to us in the playoffs? Start caring about the games when they really matter. Things can always turn around I'm more ticked off at how unorganized and unprepared we look that's embarrassing.

    It does when you have your star players stop playing defense in Howard and Harden, it makes the rest of the team worse.

    If Clay Thompson is going to bone up, then bone up on him....take him into the post and bust his skinny scrawny ass.....

    And at least play defense...our guys gave up.

    I hope the Warriors beat us by 40, so it'll leave a lasting impressing in our team's mind and their anus.
