    We should probably focus on preventing anybody not named Curry from getting their shot. IOW, let Curry get his but shut everyone else down.

    Doesn't appear to be much interest or buzz about this game. I think many fans have checked out. Wonder if the team has. We will soon find out.

    Been around the city all day, dropped by the galleria and memorial mall. People have JUMPED OFF the bandwagon, fast, head first. Literally no red anywhere, compared to the past few game days for the last couple weeks. I guess the buzz is gone.

    For all who complained about the bandwagoing, well its just us now!!!

    I can't stand bandwagoners, but I'll cut them slack for 2 reasons. First, the Rockets didn't bother to show up the other night. Kinda hard to ask the same tonight of fairweather fans. Second, a 3-0 deficit is pretty much the equivalent of a series loss in the NBA. Now it doesn't necessarily mean the season ends tonight or even Wednesday. But it's hard to get too excited about your team when it's a virtual certainty they're not going to be playing basketball anymore within a few days(barring a catastrophic injury to one of the Warriors).

    With game 3's result, the warriors ELO rating has reached 1813 - which is insane.

    Only the 95-96 bulls (1853) and the 85-86 celtics (1818) reached a higher rating...ever...at any point, in any season, of any team - ever.

    If they win today, they would even overtake the 85-86 celtics and reach the #2 highest rating all time.

    They would then need to sweep the cavs to reach the all time highest rating, I think.

    But consider that - they are that close to the greatest team rating of all time, already 3rd best and likely 2nd best after today.

    How could the rockets feel bad losing to something that incredible? The rockets could be one of the top 10 best teams ever and still get swept. This doesnt say anything bad about the rockets. People need to lay off them and about firing the coach. They just ran into an epic team of the ages.. There is no shame in that.

    Go Rockets

    Anyone hear anything about the starting lineup tonight? Really curious to see if McHale rolls out the same starting 5.

    The last time we were down 3-0...we came back to make it a 6 game series. AGAINST KEVIN DURANT. Lets go rockets, we still believe!
