I understand that the Rockets may be feeling good about only losing by a few points in close games on the road, but if I'm the Warriors, I also feel pretty good about it. The Warriors played pretty substandard ball in their two games. They were extremely sloppy with the ball and gave Houston multiple extra possessions. James Harden put up monster numbers against them and they were still able to eek out wins.

The Warriors have thus far done a decent job of limiting the "others" and letting one man do most of the damage. If the Warriors can get clicking on all cylinders and reduce the turnovers, they're gonna be tough to beat even on the road.

Yup, and even though Hardens going off and they barely lose, do they want to get away from that game plan? I think for now they are going to play the same way and expect Harden not to go off for a 3rd time

Curry off that team they are still a playoff team but yes they are not in WCF. Curry is a Big time player. I just think Harden means more to Houston. Curry has a lot more help. That doesn't mean I don't think Curry is a Top player.

Again, I think people are still underestimating guys outside of Harden. They are the ones who went on a run to save their asses to get this far. Curry definitely has the better guys, I wont deny that. But, Im not sure Id go as far as saying Harden is more important to Houston than Curry is to the Warriors. Funny thing is, if both guys arent playing, Im not sure which team wins. Klay is too clumsy and inconsistent on offense to carry GS

Its all about adjustments but the facts are still facts. They aren't playing great D. They are still winning so that is all that matters. I just hope they can handle the Cavs.

False. They're a top 3 this postseason and won 67 games by there defense carrying them

The Warriors definitely need to play better. The Rockets nearly stole both of these games at the end.

I didn't see Klay's shooting numbers but I remember seeing him miss more than he hit. I think he is due for a really good outside shooting game

He cant they need him on offense. He has a lot on his back. just my opinion.

I disagree. He has more offensive help than Rose did back when he was healthy and pretty much was all the Bulls had on offense and he managed to play some defense.

yeah I guess every team Top player is important. No harden and No Curry Im going GS. We all know Howard cant carry a team.

I agree with that but I think its not just him. I think the coaching staff is telling him to take it a little easy on D to save energy. He has played good D in the 4th Q. Klay hasn't done much in this series so far.

Purguy you're a straight up idiot if you think they would make the playoffs without curry

Maybe if the Warriors were in the Eastern Conference. In the Western Conference, it would be difficult for the Warriors to make it without Curry.

6 of 15 last time I saw. Dont know if he finished that way.

Robotech · May 22, 2015

Klay has shot terrible so far this series. Maybe he's too tired from guarding Harden. Maybe they should just have someone else guard Harden since he's going to make the bucket or shoot free throws regardless of who is guarding him.

A couple of those are layups too. I think Klay is due for a good shooting night. Hopefully , Saturday

I always thought iggy should be on him he's always have harden problems but I think Kerr wants him to be a help defender

Exactly....and why would someone think they can't handle the Cavs when they've beat them during the reg season?? And the Cavs don't have Love.

Yup top 3 in almost every category in the regular season and postseason although they aren't as sharp this postseason as they were during the season. Turnovers has a lot to do with it. If they don't turn over the ball, other teams aren't scoring often lol

REFS wont call it. And nor should they be forced to in that scrum. But, it was a foul.

It should never have came down to it.

Once the fastbreak got stalled, they needed to call timeout.

If you are talking about Hardin's push in the back of Green on the rebound which started the fast break we agree. It was an egregiuos error by the refs not to call that.
