    I thought I shut you up with this nonsense in that other thread yesterday? You’re back with this crap in another one?

    Should I give you the actual numbers again to prove your crap wrong again or no?

    Of all the inaccurate crap he’s been spewing since the game ended, claiming to be a Harden defender is the most inaccurate.

    He’s one of the group leaders of that DD, lospollos, cheke, Wylo, kjay and formerly FTW rockets guys groups who can not help themselves but complain about him and 99% of the complaints aren’t even reality.

    Just last night he was going on how Durant never doesn’t show up and is always efficient. I then show him the numbers that their playoff efficiency is very similar. He then without any research comes back with “look at efficiency relative to the league, Durant played way more playoff games in a less 3 ball centric league”

    Now if he actually ever researched his arguments he would have seen that Harden and Durant made their playoff debut the exact same year.

    It’s ridiculous.

    Still no response from him on that one either.

    We will never get lucky enough to have Anthony Davis on our team. All I can say is "I wish" . We will get role players to support Harden. No huge star wants second fiddle. Paul became second fiddle and declined. As for Butler, there are better free agents to try for in my eyes.

    He led the league in drives and blow-byes. His at the rim % in Houston is 64%, this year it was at 60%.

    I can't argue with this. In this game Capela played poorly and using Nene was the result. Capela IS capable of playing better and it is on him to do so.

    don't know if anyone posted this, didn't go back and read all the post-game comments. Not as detailed as his Jazz games summaries, still might interest some of you

    But honestly , there is something to the other guys post .

    Harden started off the year throwing down monster jams . I could have thought of several times this playoffs when it would be a good idea to break one of those out .... yet harden has played exclusively below the rim.

    Vs good shotblockers you've got to take it to the rack to DUNK . I need to see another poster on donkey

    D’Antoni shouldn’t have brought Harden so early in the 4th, when Paul was efficient and keeping us in the game. A minute or two would help him in crunch time.

    Worriers played very well defensively keeping Harden out of the lane, stopping the lob, and making it tough on the pass out with very quick rotations. It didn’t help that our role players were fumbling the ball on perimeter and paint.

    It’s maddening to deal with these god damn warriors fans. I’m sure it’s been said a thousand times but I’m not scrolling through the entire thread. Just ****ing admit it. It’s clear. Why is it so hard? I’m losing my mind showing data and video and blatant facts that they are wrong but I can’t get one person to say “ **** your right”. That’s all I ****ing want. I guess this is just how the world works now

    Not the overall game minutes or regular season but total 4th qtr minutes when Paul and crew were keeping us in game and Harden was subbed around 10:30 mark. It should be around 9 min or less mark, keeping Harden fresh in clutch and CP3 aggressive with Harden out. CP3 deferred and wasn’t aggressive game even though he was efficient.

    Rockets could have easily won yesterday with all the turnovers and bad shooting the DUBS had. I'll admit that Klay had some contact on Harden on a couple of 3 pointers, but overall the foul calling was pretty even for both teams. We're lucky that the Rockets didn't score after that turnover by Durant. Well up for game 2 now.

    The warriors are a dirty team. Zaza received the moniker after the Kawhi incident, and now Klay and Draymond to a lesser extent being called out for the landing space foul. Only common denominator is this stuff is preached in-house as part of GSW coaching. Gives me vibes of how Utah and Spurs of old used to find ways to get away with dirty plays.

    The "landing space" foul is a dirty play and isn't a common foul on a 3 shot attempt. I'm not sure how the flagrant fts and possession would work with the fact that it's a 3shot attempt. But it's highway robbery that we're not compensated at all.

    The best the refs and league can do to nip this in the bud is to call it a flagrant-1 upon the first incident. The penalty alone would be enough to deter.

    This series is revealing a lot about how prominent people feel about our team and the gsw team as a whole. The most honest discussion I've heard on this was on Speak for Yourself featuring Mobley. Though Whitlock was making a case that he was disappointed with how we handled the bad calls, he made a strong point about as an entertainment business the league wants to move away from our style of play in favor of ratings. Was interesting to see how Mobley as a former player listen to that.

    As a fan, I just want us to go out throwing punches. I don't want to see our guys mimic their dirty play. It's not good for the sport but more so the integrity of our team and what the Rockets are about.

    Do you understand what spam means?

    It makes no sense the way you continue to use it.
