    PNR, yes. I don't think we're going to start posting up those guys just to make him work defensively. We don't do post ups.

    it doesn't appear the Warriors have much work cut out for them in their current series. It's ok, because they'll definitely get tested against the Rockets.

    I'd go a step further and try to be really physical with him, a little elbow here and there or push to knock him off his socks wouldn't hurt. We need to get a little bit of a mean streak, if we want to beat them. I want to see a fight. Too many NBA players will just accept the Warriors being physical with them and don't do anything to retaliate or get even. We need to do have the mentality to do whatever it takes to get an advantage. Send Onuaku in there to bomb rush Green for all I care.

    Hey brother, I like your confidence. But I have to ask, how strongly do you truly feel about what you said? was it in jest mostly or legitimate feeling?

    It was not a scheduling fluke because the Rockets just outclass them. Maybe the lead would have ballooned to "20" instead of close to 30 had it not been a 'scheduling fluke' as you put it, but the results went along with the natural order of things.

    Tonight and this series will be no different.

    Nothing to see there. Joke all you want but you’re not beating the Warriors by playing nice and soft like the Pelicans are doing right now.

    if we're hitting 3s, i don't know how GSW can beat us. obviously, that's gonna be harder to do than ever because of their defense. but shooting well seems psychological than anything else to me. something tells me we're going to be hittin em in that series, though.

    also, we just have to prepare the defense for 5 players. bench players have stepped up for GSW, but they're still not top-tier.

    They also shoot 3s. They make like 4 less 3s than us per game on average this year and like 8 more 2s. Works out to them scoring about 1 more point than us on average because they shoot much better percentage wise on all of their shots.

    The Dubs are working up to peaking at the right time. We need to do the same.

    Warriors are the most REF AIDED team in the league
    So . . .. if we can get 4 40-60 ref games. . .we cna win
    but if it is the normal 20-80 refs for Warriors game. . . .it will be tough

    The most annoying thing will be for Tucker to get in foul trouble on moving screens against the Warriors of all teams. SMH

    I want the rockets to do some hard fouls but not injuring anyone in the first quarter to show that we are not backing down and setting the game tone.

    I wouldn’t be surprised to see them go back to GS 2-2.

    The only question is whether or not we should tank the rest of the playoffs to get LeBron.

    The whole team needs to play well for us to have a chance. No more shooting slumps from Gordon. Anderson can't be scared to shoot. No missed layups from Nene. No turnovers from CP3. All of that has to change to beat GS.

    I cannot wait to see Curry get switched on Harden again and again and again. He will be abused by Harden relentlessly.
