    every time we put our starters back in Golden State gains on us. Why doesn't coach see that?

    If it's tough for CP3 and James to find passing lanes, you know EG wont... Lol

    Harden is trying to get the game to adapt to his pace but the pressure of the game itself is killing Harden's attempt to impose his will because he's trying to force his pace upon this game.

    This is when the coach needs to call a TO and instruct his players what to do. Harden just falls into his habit, most players do, sometimes the coach has to smack them upside the head figuratively and keep them focused on the gameplan.

    GSW is smart on defense. We’re not really getting no open looks for our shooters but somehow shumpert is always open .

    Rockets bench completely destroyed the Warriors bench on +/-. Their starting lineup is a net plus.

    It’s just so obvious that Harden ball isn’t that effective in the Playoffs. I prefer the ball in hands of Paul when hes on. It’s just so much better.

    Dude, Shump has been a HUGE spark so far, why in the world would you want to take him out right now?

    It’s amazing how stupid Harden is. He probably hasn’t utilized one on-ball screen all series.

    Wide open mid range, Harden refused and selected bricking three.

    Stupid.

    That is why is still has to be an inside-out game, NOT outside-out game
    Shooting only 3’s is a losing strategy

    Harden ball hogs until last few sec. on shot clock and then he either tries a difficult shot or passes to someone to take a difficult shot with time expiring .......

    The defense is way keyed on him. Defenses rarely do that in the regular season. Harden refuses to adjust as well. He needs to play faster and take the mid range shot when it's wide open. He refuses to do both so when he isn't making shots, we just look horrible.

    That triple step back 3 was a perfect example of Harden over thinking, he had a WIDE open 2 after that cross over, yet he scoots back behind the 3 pt line & shoots a tough shot & misses it.

    James really need to play a bit faster, letting the Warriors defense set and waste 15/20 seconds doing nothing everytime is not going to cut it, other guys will lose their rhythm too.
