    If we can’t buy a few bench minutes we have bigger problems.

    Joe Johnson is awful. Anderson should be delivering pizza. Mbah is a basket case. So there's your sign!

    Yeah, but they weren't calling them, so why keep trying what is not working? Move the ball, push it, and try something different......

    Harden has NEVER gotten the ticky tack fouls in the post season he gets in the regular season and as teams get more disciplined over time, they just stand straight up.....I wish Harden would mix in some midrange when DGreen stands at the basket.

    So - what are the odds we see CP? Without him we are done.

    It’s barely doable with him.

    The game was hard one to win from the get go.

    I applaud them that they fought well in the first Q. Without Paul.

    Yeah, thats why I say his rest is paramount. MDA needs to find rest for Harden.. He will have to trust the players to hold a lead if there is one..

    FREAKING GG shouldn't be the one running offense..

    In the end you have also to be realistic, they're a great team, they have way more talent, they were playing for their lives at home...our guys did a good job but keeping the level needed to beat them tonight, on both ends, for 48 minutes and playing in 6...i fell like it's basically impossible.

    The hate is strong with this one. Oh well. All previous games don't matter now. It doesn't matter whether CP or Iggy is playing or not. Whoever is on the floor will decide. May the best team win.

    Who gives a damn about momentum? The Warriors won game at home by 40 and lost game 4. The Rockets will have a rowdy, crazy home crowd behind them on Monday night giving them extra adrenaline. At this point, both teams know each other and what they need to do.

    The fact the Rockets had them on the ropes in the first half and blitzed them in the first quarter tells you this team is different than year’s past. They aren’t scared of the challenge.

    people say this all the time. run the offense how? Tell me how in the f can we get everyone involved. MDA does not run motion, he specializes in PNR, it's been this way all season.

    Who else can run the offense other than Harden, and Paul. Is Gerald green going to run PnR with Capela????? Most the roster turns the ball over dribbling more than 3 times

    Those weren't ticky tack fouls that didn't get called tonight.

    Harden got smashed repeatedly with no love from Kenny and Ed.

    He was doing the right thing, playing aggressive and taking it to the rack strong. Hard to overcome getting absolutely jobbed by the zebras

    Sure Klay and steph went off. But, from what I observed, a lot of their points were easy transition 3 point looks from either us taking a bad shot from the ugly iso-ball or us committing a turnover. Dumb shots will always lead to good looks for the other team, and with a team like GS it counts double.

    Hope to God CP3 comes back for Game 7. We simply ran out of gas and were out-manned the second half.
