    Call me a pessimist but I have a hard time believing we can beat GS four times.

    I would have more confidence if we didn’t play like crap against LAL and Denver.

    Curry and Jimmy are tough man. Their starkly contrasting games play off each other well.

    That being said, I think the series would rest in the hands of Amen to limit Steph as much as humanly possible.

    Bring on whomever - this is a learning year........win or lose it will be good for the team and org, and we might find this roster isn't good enough and need to make changes to personnel the sooner the better.

    I'm afraid putting too much stock in Amen stopping Curry will backfire. That caught the Warriors off guard last game, but they will come out with a plan. If not in game #1 then by game #2.

    Rockets fans and their Warriors PTSD man.

    I'm feeling vengeful. Give us the Warriors. I want us to personally end their season and then I want to do it again next year. It will be revenge for Udoka and revenge for Houston.

    Yup they’re too smart not to adjust. They’ll be all over the refs in advance and also moving screen like crazy.

    If Steph eliminates us and hits the night night at Toyota center I will fire a hellfire missile at the warriors team plane

    I think Worriers can take this team to 7 and Memphis could take this team to 6........depending on how the Lakers meaning Luka deal with the Wolves.

    Not going to be pretty. At least avoided Denver and Harden.

    I didn't understand why Kerr didn't play Kuminga out of all people.

    One thing to consider is maybe the league realizes that NBA fans have Warrior fatigue, this is why they handed the Rockets the win in the in-season tournament game. That said, the league may see renewed interest since the Butler trade.

    All this talk about not wanting to see Harden or Steph or Jokic, all those fans don't want to see our gritty 2 seed team either. Also, Golden State has less of an answer for our size than any other team. We are undefeated against GS since rolling with the double big.

    Apparently he doesn't mix well on the floor with Draymond and Butler.

    Off the bench I meant, he is like Green a slashing monster. And the injury report said he was sort of active.

    • And also no sign of Jackson Davis, Pat Spencer or Gui Santos, those contributors when they had their run.
    • Zubac will be a monster in the Playoffs, great matchup with Joker.
