MDA did this by not playing the starters their regular minutes . I appreciate he wanted to get Gordon in early ... but taking PJ out after 3 minutes kills our toughness on D . Gordon is an X factor ... but we expected too much from him tonight .
Harden didn't play his A game tonight. Always funny these same people are silent when he plays well. Find a different team already. Team overall was stagnant. Ariza should've kept the same fire as ego but he has Katy on the defensive end I totally hated how we got killed on second chance points in the first half. We played solid defense, got the miss, then left Capela or 6'9 Tucker pick up the tab! Bad team vibes man. I think we mailed it in after the no calls. James started pouting in the second half after the refs swallowed their ****s. Sad.
yes...well they didn't have focus. when you want to get something done, you focus on that task. you make that effort to put that thing first and push everything else going on in your life to the side. i can deal with a loss, but i don't like it when players heads arent in the game. these opportunities dont come around all the time. you dont have playoff games and seasons to just throw away. this game only got out of hand because everything they didnt do in the first half when the warriors were not even playing well. the rockets should have been leading going into the half.
When Harden doesn't get calls he tends to pout and quit. We have all seen it a million times. He did it again tonight. I'm not going to blame this loss on him alone though. Nobody showed up to play, including Harden. Piss poor defense and even worse offense by all of them.
We lost because of Ryan Anderson. Instead of actually having a good player worth 20M who can take the heat off Harden and Paul, we have Anderson getting courtside seats to every playoff game. This is why salary and cap mgt is so important, and why GSW can afford 5 stars on their roster+a decent bench. There is no feasible way to close the gap with GSW, because their stars actually take LESS money whereas Houston just wasted 20M away for the next 3 years.
I don’t like it when our star player exerts no effort on one side of the ball. And on the other side he plays selfish as hell and can’t even do that properly.
I hope you guys see how ridiculous this stuff is.. blame Anderson, I've stopped caring if our internet fan base looks stupid thinking Anderson is the reason for every loss..
I love you just don't quit. You've got issues brah. Ur every post in the past year has been about Ryan anderson
I'm confused. Is there something brilliant the Warriors did to stop us from getting the ball up and moving it early in the clock? Or did we just forget how we won Game 2?
This game was exactly like Game 1, not because of the ISO ball... but because the complete lack of movement without the ball. When one person attacked the basket, the other four stood in place. It's incredibly easy to defend. Cut to the basket. Move to the corner. Trade places with somebody. If a defender turns their head to watch the dribble drive they cant turn back to you and see you in the same exact spot you were before.
That’s the best part. All these fans are acting like the warriors are unbeatable and that’s why we lost. The warriors looked bad in the first half. It’s jusy that we looked 10x worse. Harden takes 8 seconds to walk to the ball to halfcourt. Then another 8 to dribble. After that he flails around trying to get a switch into curry. At this point there’s 4 seconds left and makes his move. This results in one of the following three things 1) a bad shot 2) a blocked shot or turnover 3) a pass to someone to jack it up with 2 seconds left which either leads to a missed shot or 24 second violation. Houston offense!
