Reasons why we got this! - The Rockets have held their own when Paul was on the bench or not scoring - CP3 will still be on the bench- coaching Harden along - Our defense will not suffer with Paul not in the game - Green has stepped up defensively against Curry and can frustrate him just as well The Warriors will come out strong in game #6 trying to put the game away early. Houston needs to treat this as a Game #7 (winner take all game). Harden's problems in the past have stemmed from being over worked for a long period of time, but for one game on one of the biggest stages, I see him playing the majority of the minutes. In the past this also may mean more 3s, but with his shot off I see him driving to the hoop early and getting his teammates involved. Harden will go for 40 and make at least 5 threes. Gordon will continue to drive the lane and finish at the rim still freeing up our 3 point shooters. And Mbah will get some playing time and play some lock down defense. Our regular season game in Golden State had Tucker going for 20, Gordon shooting 9/16 and the team hitting 15 3s.(non of those were from Paul) who had only 4 points that game.
