    With the World watching, make this a 7 game series. Then win in 7, on a Harden 3, from mid court.

    Has to be a step back 3 from half court. Shut the haters up with the most iconic shot of this era

    So the question is. The way Harden finished the last game. Does that wake up beast mode? Does it exercise some personal inner demons? If so does that change the outlook of this aeries? At this point it feels like our chances are grim. Gordon 7-14 from deep. We out rebounded by TWENTY Curry really didn’t do much. Yet it still took overtime to win by 5. We can’t count on Gordon having that kind of shooting experience nor getting 57% more rebounds than the wortsniffers

    Obviously it goes without saying game 4 is must win. We are not beating these a**holes 3 times straight. But best 2 of 3 could be interesting.

    Brothers and Foster both were assigned to games today. True to form, the road team (Toronto) won the Brothers game and Foster is calling the Nuggets-Blazers game.

    Hopefully rockets tweak their screens for Harden to get mismatches this game. Last game, time and again GS fought around the screen and we couldn't get a mismatch. Not sure if GS are doing a better job sticking to Harden or our screens aren't on point.

    I have a lot more confidence of a high % iso by Harden on a mismatch rather than with AI guarding him

    Honest question...out of the three games thus far which game do you all believe was the best game from the warriors? I feel like Game 2 was their best game thus far although they didn't shoot great it was an incredible team effort.

    Reason I ask is that I feel we played the best we could yesterday

    What I saw and didn’t like last game:

    1. Passiveness by CP to shoot open shots

    2. No calls when harden drove for floaters and gets hammered by GSW

    3. Switching hiccups where Klay got wide open way too much. He’s lethal and can’t be left open. I’m fine leaving Iggy open-ish but can’t let the best shooter in the NBA have wide open looks


    Intensity was great, D was locked in and we REBOUNDED! fix some of the issues and it should be 2-2 by Tuesday morning

    Posted this in the Draymond game 3 eyepoke thread but figured it deserves more views. (Relevant bit starts at the 1minute mark)

    Can someone make sure Travis Scott is front row for the rest of the series. Everytime we hit a big shot the team were running past him celebrating. PJ went straight to him after the game. He fires them up! Not ****en joking. Everyone loves a familiar face to ball out in front of

    You have to wonder if this would have been the case. Warriors are just ungodly lucky.

    Keys to winning:

    1.) Gobble up rebounds like a man that hasn’t eaten in a month.
    2.) Communicate and execute on switches and defense
    3.) Limit turnovers to 10 max. This should be our strength as an ISO team and their Achilles Heel.
    4.) Hit open shots and be aggressive driving to paint.
    5.) Force Curry to be on an Island. Not doing well on this, as the ball handler needs to force it by moving towards Curry. Either way Curry is getting tired from running around, just not effiecient w/o Curry island.

    Ummm....

    6 blatant no calls on triples.
    Didn't matter who played, we got cheated.

    Yeah, it's gonna be tough IMO to pull out the series. We could obviously play better but it's gonna take CP3 and Gordon to score 20+ along with beast mode Harden to pull out the series. The other possibility is Durant going cold but dude is just a monster in the playoffs. The Rockets would have to convincingly win game 4 for me to feel confident that we have a chance to upset.

    By this time tomorrow night I hope to be watching us play our best game yet. Man, I can't wait for this game to start!!! I've waited a long time for this series, and our opportunity to rip that Golden carpet right out from under their feet. Let's do this!!!
    Go Rockets!!!!!

    I had a quick look on a few other boards and I am staggered at the nerve of Warriors fans. They have the nerve to say they were robbed because Hardens drive was a charge after that daylight robbery of game1?

    I mean the three free throws that Durant got at the end were given non calls against Harden on atleast 6 different occasions in game one.
