    Prior to K.D. joining the ROX were a total of 2-16 against Golden state (2014-16). So KD missing is not exactly good for us.

    malloy worked both games 2 and 6 of WCF
    game 2 (together with fraher and mauer) was the one where they tried their hardest at the end of the 1st half to close the gap for GS
    game 6 (together with mauer) was an obvious rig-job in the 2nd half
    pat fraher was considered by cat mobley to be the worst ref in the league

    Not a nightmare scenario...but Ed Malloy and Pat Fraher are certainly not ideal.

    That was a completely different Warriors team with more depth, a younger Iggy and Draymond.

    If they lose, look for an absolute propaganda campaign about KD being out making this game useless, completely ignoring the players we were missing in earlier WINS.

    If they win, look for an absolute propaganda campaign about how the Warriors can turn it on whenever they want to and have hearts of gold.

    The media narrative is online tonight. And for us, that means MVP.

    But home court online as well. And that's huge.

    Lol and we had Jeremy Lin not CP3..
    And grumpy Dwight. The only player from those years that got significant playing time was James Harden.... what kind of comparison is this...

    This is what I'm saying. With KD...the Warriors play exactly how we want them to play. Without him...they go back to consistent ball movement and backcuts, which we obviously struggle with.

    I imagine this game will be GS going HAM like a playoff game after that loss to the Suns and the BS curry was talkin earlier in the week. It's like Rudy T use to say, "It's gotta be a war every possession!" if we're going to take them down. I think the Rockets will be ready though.

    Since Harden has been absolute trash the past few games, he’s due for a big game.

    Harden drops 40+ in a Houston win!

    Go crazy clutchfans! Go stupid!

    Is it possible to get impartial refs against these guys? Out of all the refs how many are biased against the rockets versus neutral?
