    No team has come back from 0-3 ever. If you mean come back to force a Game 7, it's happened 3 times. The Nuggets vs the Jazz in the semifinals in 1994. The Blazers vs the Mavs in the first round in 2003. And the Knicks vs the Rochester Royals in the Finals in 1951.

    I don't know why McHale seesTerry/Prigs on Curry ain't working and he takes so long to put Johnson on him.

    Johnson should at least put Curry on his backside

    Didn't say there was shame in it. They have been healthy all season. Only one other team in the league had as many missed games by injury as the rockets. You don't think we win 60 plus if we are healthy all season. GTFO

    It'll take real toughness to keep heads up after this one

    I can only see Terry, maybe Prigioni, perhaps achieving that

    Not by that margin at home when the entire season is on the line. The Warriors deserve some credit, but this was mostly on the Rockets not showing up. Especially defensively.

    I would but every time I try to say something positive about them I get called for a foul. Leads get sooo big then when I get closer on a comeback I get called for a foul again so I give up and get blown out by 35 points. I just give up lol.

    Embarrassing effort.

    I hate Curry because he is becoming such an arrogant arse, but dude is showing who the true MVP is. Harden has much to learn before becoming a champion.

    This was still a great season, though. Keep the core and replace the useless and old players, and we might have a better chance next year.

    McHale and a lot of people on here look like fools when they thought single coverage on Curry would work and let him just get his points and stop the others. Still, giving up open shots is also about effort which we've not shown in this game and even in game 1 & 2 when it comes to stopping Curry.

    Letting Curry get his did work in Games 1 and 2. They had chances to steal both. But if no one other than Dwight shows up to play and the defense is so bad that you let EVERYONE on the Warriors get theirs, well then you're not gonna be in the game for very long.

    Being outplayed and overmatched is one thing, but it is another to stop playing with effort just because you're losing.

    You're professionals. Try to solve one problem that GSW is giving you.

    I don't know why Josh Smith can't score vs GSW defense.

    How dare you allow Steph Curry to score 40 points in 35 minutes?!
