    it doesn't necessarily has to be the way hes used
    its called psychology

    its enough for you to lose the sight of the annoying boss and you start breathing better, you feel better and you start working and doing better...

    or you love your women but you find yourself in a presence of another beautiful lady and the life is beautiful again and you shine and you perform like a madman

    everyone needs a variety in their life

    More than a victory. Donkey got hurt by Cousins, they say he is going to be out for at least a week. We demoralized them and then hurt them. Now the Warriors are back to 4 after the game. I hope Cousins plays so well when Donkey is out that Donkey wants out because he will never be a Warriors All-Star again with Cousins in. And then Klay gets a Lakers contract. We may end their dynasty this year.

    To all the haters out there calling Paul CP0 lately. That's the player you are going to see in the Playoffs. It's pretty obvious he's been coasting this year, instead of what you guys think has been a rapid decline. He's much smarter than you haters out there and he knows what must be done if he wants to stay healthy during the Post season.

    If you needed any more proof that +/- is a useless single-game stat,


    Chris Paul had a negative plus/minus last night.

    Random thoughts:

    Harden help win THIS game...

    Hear me out. When is the last time you seen Curry get challenge on three 3 pointer that were all changed to 2 points. When the last time GSW has to reestablish themselves before scoring it happened 2 times last night and points were taken away. That 7 points right there. When the last time foul trouble was a consideration for GSW it was last night.

    Reigning MVP spoke up to the media and the league listened. They fined him but they got the message.

    No, it’s not actually. I went back and checked.

    They loss on 2/13 to the Blazers but Cousins didn’t play because it was a back to back.

    They also lost on 1/31 to the Sixers but Klay was out due to illness.

    This is their first loss with the five all star lineup.

    The warriors spotted the rockets with 5 points first 2 minutes because curry didn't touch the ball, and you had cousins miss point blank layup, Greene and Durant had unforced turnovers.

    For the warriors, it was a trap game and hangover effect from all star break.

    Did you watch the game?

    Whenever Harden handles the ball, everyone else not named Chris Paul floats to the corner or anywhere else behind the 3pt line, and remains pretty stationary (unless setting a pick).

    When CP3 handled the ball last night, there was a lot more motion. Faried took Curry off the dribble and bullied him down to get an easy shot in the post. Tucker did the same thing, to both Curry AND Durant.

    When's the last time you can remember that Tucker and Faried both had consistent offense down in the low block because they beat their defender off the dribble?

    A "trap game?" Seriously? At home where they had won 5 straight? With the Rockets missing Harden? With what looked to me like a full roster? I could go on, but it would be a waste of time.

    Why aren't you on a site singing the wonders of the Warriors, chump?

    Variety sounds like excuses to me. Do your damn job and do it to the best of your abilities.

    The warriors actually spotted rockets because Kerr ran that point forward set the first possessions which left curry in no man's land in the corner.

    The point forward set had green, Durant, and cousins in a 3 man game as they tried to establish Durant and cousins in their early offense.

    Far"weed" started and got two early fouls because he could not stay on Durant so the warriors were able get early fouls on our bigs. Maybe that is the warriors strategy in playing curry in no man's land as a decoy off the ball early.

    Far"weed" started the game and didn't score a field goal in first quarter. Nothing against far"weed" but he struggled early with fouls and no buckets!

    This is due to the fact that cp3 makes plays out of the pick and roll.

    It's two plays that cp3 makes out of pick and roll. 1. Cp3 finds capaela in the low post or
    2. Cp3 finds tucker in high post after a screen where Tucker's was able to get down hill from the high post position
