    If the Rockets add better shooters in midrange, hoping the rookies have that midrange game, the offense can be better, Harden looking desperate when he was chucking 3s looks worse when critics badmouth the team

    After Chris Paul, no one can shoot midrange at all. Harden never perfected that shot, he can have a higher FG percentage if he improves that shot,plus referees don't call fouls in playoffs in critical late game scenario. Harden goes to the basket, slap on the arm, wrist, no call, turnover, fastbreak on the other end for a layup. Easy solution for Harden is working on midrange game.

    Our offense is more than fine. We just need some consistent shooters on the wing to drain those open shots. Gordon Ariza Tucker shooting against Curry Thompson Durant is just not going to work.

    In addition to that, I thought for a really long time.. too... about this and I felt like if we had CP3 for the final 2 games that might have helped as well.

    Harden was literally hacked on a shot, it went in, and they reverted the clear shooting foul and made us take it out.

    It doesn’t matter where he shoots from as far as ref calling is concerned. It would be nice to have another mid range option, but to pretend it would have changed anything seems silly to me.

    ...not to mention t'other fella. LMM not only was missed for being on court, his missing minutes hurt others on court. Yeah, I'd trade Iggy for CP3/LMM every day of a WarriorsWeek if I were an Oaklander...

    This about covers it. It's not about changing the offense.

    Are you serious? Thats your argument..the 20 3 pointers..., no they do no suck ass, otherwise we would have lost in NOT 7. Unbelievable

    LOOOOOL are you ****ing serious, No sorry, he doesnt get to put up amazing games in all series only for people like you to say "LUL hes injured" when he played badly. Look at the Pelicans series. No this is a poor argument. And Lebron was never gonna put up another 50 point triple double after his first game, wasnt gonnna happen. Dont ever use it again. The most dumbest thing I've heard. Everyone is playing injured at the this time of the year.

    No they reality is if we were fully healthy we beat them. Luc was just as important to us as Iggy I told you, our highest net rated player(i think?) and OUR BEST PERIMETER DEFENDER, you dont get to shrug that off and say "lol Iggy's Better it doest matter." Curry is better, but CP3 is just as good and can compete with him, he was sonning him before LOL poor with awful wittle injuries needed the GOAT ANDRE IGUODALA. Plz

    LOL seems like as soon as the .5 went away we were doing just fine. Also its not just a simple quantity game of stars if we add Lebron(doubt it) its more than just our 3 vs their 4.5.

    I mean, I feel like it was our defense that pulled us through games 4 and 5, but agree to disagree.

    Ariza and Gordon have expressed reservations about our offense. I know that iso-ball is effective, but I hope we can add more layers to the offense next year.

    Our role players were critical to last year's success, so I'd prefer to keep them happy. I'm confident another year together can allow us to improve on an already great offense.

    Would love to see more back cuts and off ball trickery. Despite how well we did, we lacked options beyond the initial action and the perimeter shooting. Made us incredibly vulnerable in games 6 and 7.

    I'm not sure what else to say to you, you dismiss everything I say with "Are you serious LUL" and "Don't ever say that again". Are you Donald Trump? You seem think "are you serious LUL" is a valid argument and putting it everywhere in capslock proves your point wtf. Are you serious LUL?

    I already said if the Rox were healthy and GSW wasn't maybe we beat them. Why do you keep restating that in your post?

    I'm not shrugging Luc off I'm saying if we add Luc and they add Iggy they are still better. Making fun of Iggy doesnt change the fact HE IS BETTER THAN LUC. Iggy was a Finals MVP Luc was signed to a vet min deal. Is it that hard to comphrehend? Of course I can shrug Luc of returning Iggy is better. If we add a good player but GsW adds a better player than they are better, duhhhhhh.

    You admit Curry is better than Cp3 than it goes from them being comparable to Cp3 actually sonning Curry in the same sentence lol. True homerism at its best. Curry is better than Cp3 if both are fully healthy, period. Cp3 as good as he has been has never been close to winning an MVP award like Curry. We have only 1 star that is comparable to KD and Curry abd that is Harden.

    You still havent explained how Harden and Cp3 by themselves are supposed to beat 4.5 stars. Are you saying Harden is better than Durant and Curry combined? And Cp3 is better than Klay, Draymond and Iggy combined? Ridiculous.

    Because you havent provided any good arguments. Honestly, you're arguments are off pedigree and not watching the game. No stats, no nothing. I may have overreacted there but sheesh Donald Trump haha.

    And I'm telling you, you're wrong. We beat them fully healthy.

    And you are talking like a person who did not watch this season. Luc was way more important to us than Iggy was for them. Thats a fact. Luc was our highest net rated player(I think). And after the injury he was not the same. But I guess you didnt watch him or Iggy during the season. Or the fact Igudala was god awful from three in the games he played. But hey you dont have any stats to back up what you say, you just blather on about Vet Mins(which Luc is worth way more than) and Finals MVP bullshit that isnt relevant right now. I guess you dont know how important Luc was for us. You dont examine the game, you just go hey 4 all stars, we have 2, its over.

    Yea he has been close to an MVP season. He actually should have one. I guess you never watched New Orleans CP or even Clippers. He's ALWAYS been a top 10 player in the league. Dude led the league in RPM this season. We do not get to game 7 without him. And btw both were banged, stop trying to pull the injury card for Curry again, its a bad argument. CP is every bit as comparable. Dude put 40 plus and 10 plus assists in game 5 agaisnt Utah and you tell me thats not comparable to Curry. Yea overall Curry is better, but I'll take CP going agaisnt him. He still hasnt beaten CP in a playoff series. This convo is just really showing how little you actually know.

    Well...if CP doesnt get hurt and Luc is healthy we win. Simple. If you think Iggy is the key to them totally dominating us, than you dont know what you are talking about. That .5 all star must mean alot to you. And Harden and Cp arent "by themselves" Teams are more than just the sum of their parts. Its not just oh we have more all stars we win, if it was, they still had 4 all stars to our 2 and we never would have taken them to 7. It dosent work like that.
