    Even if we do show up, the league will do everything they can to make the GOAT team advance.

    This scene from Rocky Balboa explains it best.

    This is the ONLY way. Also, do this in Game 1, not Game 5!

    1. Flop on any and all Draymond screens
    2. Get Dwight the ball early so he's engaged
    3. Yell at Harden in front of the whole team when he's lazy on defense
    4. Run Klay off of three's and make him dribble
    5. Counter Livingston with KJ
    6. Don't play Brewer
    7. Box out Andre Iguodala (See item number 3)
    8. Pray steph or barnes doesn't go off

    I think if we do all of those things, we'll be ok ;)

    Looking at their losses this year, the key to beating the Warriors is to be either terrible or mediocre so that they don't take the game seriously. If you're a really good team, you're screwed.

    ...um, I think we're going to beat them, guys!

    That sounds like the best plan so far.

    Do something that the Rockets have not done All Yr, is make them work on Offense. Play some frickin Defense. I think this will go 5 or 6 games. James Harden has played a ton of Minutes hopefully he has some gas left in the Tank. Go Rockets. Lets make some History

    You double Curry and like another poster said you flop on every screen set by GSW considering most of them are illegal anyways

    U basically have to hope curry gets cold and have ariza defend green. KJ on curry and Brewer on Klay. At that point u hope dwight and howard can score.
    Or u can put smith on draymond and ariza on curry and KJ on Curry
