    Bring in LeDiva ... send all our forwards out.

    1 point from Tucker
    6 from Ariza
    0 from Anderson
    0 from Mbah a Moute

    The Rockets need offense from the post... Even though Mbah missed his shot...he had a wide open shot from the corner running from the post.

    Refs are indeed garbage as usual but our role players can’t throw it in the ocean when wide open so it’s on us

    This is reality. The rockets have a truly GREAT team but the warriors were gifted a max player coming off a 73 win season. It’s just plain stupid. That doesn’t mean we don’t have a chance but we’re going to need to be amazing.

    mainly it's Durant, if we have someone can shoot like that, we will be far ahead now, not sure how can we slow him down

    Needed more production from our role players, but unfortunately other than Gordon, they've been no shows

    Only two timeouts left at that point though.

    If Rockets lose, it's because of bricking so many open shots and gimme layups. And that the GSW is a cheat code team

    Kerr keeping Curry out so that they don't slip defensively and they don't need the scoring.. Very smart move

    Defense is trash tonight.

    Harden is shooting the ball well but he's playing full-r****d half the time.

    Defense ain't there at all.

    0-1

    Just to much talent on GSW. They will be winning the ship for as long as they stay together. That Cleveland finals win was such a fluke

    We're having an ok game just have to get more from the role players. Tthey have durant on top of being an already great team. Cant win unless the other guys win their matchups.

    All the standing around this game was really unexpected. Why? With MDA why?

    Green was pathetic defensively. Just LOL at those posters in the Luc injury thread that said he will do just as good a job defensively as Luc.

    Gordon has been for the vast majority pathetic, as usual for these playoffs. Going on 3 rounds now .

    Ryno showed nothing when he was on.

    Nene showing nothing when he was on.

    Why exactly aren't we trying Joe? And do exactly what they are doing by posting up a bigger body down low/in the mid range.

    Nothing else we are doing is working .

    Our offense has been truly atrocious for the most part this game.

    And the defensive lapses. The ****ing defensive lapses. I said it after game 1 or 2 in the regular season, we are good enough to bebe them but we need to cut out the defense lapses leaving their players open. And all those wide open looks on mistakes defensively are exactly what is the difference in this game.
