    I don't like the guy either but that is just part of his routine. Even Harden does super long threes to end his routine up. He's been doing it forever so I doubt he wants to change anything up.

    Yeah he always plays well against the Rockets. But they have depth. David Lee is no slouch.

    David Lee defends the paint like Dirk. Plus, he screw up Warriors spacing badly.

    anybody but stern

    I could not stand Stern, so a goat could have been the next commish and I would be ok with it.

    I think Silver, so far has been good. Give him 10 yrs of being power drunk then you might be on to something. Remember when Goddell first became Commish?????

    Sounds crazy but I'd rather deal with Lee than Speights.

    Dwight and Harden need to lead this team and taste that nba finals again.

    Harden needs 31 8 7
    Howard need 20 18 4

    I didn't think they would be in wc finals, but here they are....backs against the wall....heavy underdog by most.....ball is in their court

    Side note. Do we have new practice shorts? They are so much better than our game shorts. Maybe I've just never noticed before..

    Oddly, I haven't been that nervous about today's game than I was for some of the previous match-up and series.

    Part of me is content at what the Rockets have done this year so anything more is just icing on the cake. Winning would be amazing but no one expects us to win so there should be no pressure on us.

    Ultimately, I think this is what is going to help us. Warriors have all the pressure to win this series but have little experience while we have almost no pressure but most of the experience. If this series becomes tight, I'm confident the Rockets will pull out victorious in most situations.

    For tonight, the key has to be to get Bogut in early foul trouble. Warriors' don't have much big men depth and Dwight should feast either way. Another key is to limit what Barnes, Green, Iggy and Thompson do. Curry will get his and more but make it difficult on him and others to get going.

    If we win tonight, a message will be sent to the rest of the NBA. We have to win at least one of these games so might as while win tonight and make the Warriors feel even more pressure.

    Oracle Arena is going to be so loud tonight. Toyota Center must respond.

    Hopefully the guys can silence the crowd with a dominant performance.
