    Like it was mentioned in another thread, "you can't plan for a team that has no plan!"

    The Rockets could win this one if Curry actually does sit. I mean, they didn't beat a Curry-less Warriors team back in December, but it was tight right to the end. With Motiejunas starting and Curry out, I think it's a 50/50.

    If Curry plays, though, and isn't a gimp, it'll be rough sledding.

    If the Lakers can beat the Warriors once this year.... we can get to moral victory territory in game 3.

    Over/under 5.5 times tonight Curry gets compared to Willis Reed for "toughing" this one out?

    We couldn't even beat the rest of the team when he sat the whole second half. I don't have much confidence in us right now.

    Given Warriors' quality and our lacking of leadership and team play, I think a sweep is priced in. But I would like to see Rockets put up a fight, and go down with some dignity.

    God, I hate that Green guy (love to have that punk on my team though).

    I'm sure the Rockets players may also think the same thing. Curry getting injured does not make us win, they got other weapons to compensate.

    I hope Harrell plays 20+ minutes, so he can set illegal screens on the referees ... :grin:

    Shoving or setting illegal screens is basically the same ... :rolleyes:

    The team just has to make some shots. And that's all there is to it to beat a team like GSW :grin:

    If DMo punches Draymond Green in the face I'll say the first round pick was well worth this series.

    I don't necessarily feel confident we could beat them without Steph, which is pretty sad. I also think he'll play.

    Oh, I fully expect a loss even without Curry. Not a doubt in my mind.

    Curry plays = lose by 20+ pts
    Curry sits = lose by 10+ pts
