    We are an undisciplined team - we don't pay attention to the details when help you win.

    We don't box out well, we don't follow our own shot, we don't stay in contact with the man we are guarding, we do soft passes, we don't move off the ball, we are just a mess, tbh.

    This team is just never going to win a championship until they get players who pay attention to the little details.

    We have a few who do, but our big players are just not disciplined enough - and our best player struggles with most of it - and points fingers at others.

    Just not disciplined enough - not sure if a coaching change will help, but I would start there.

    If you have to play a Kevin Durant - you must try to take his legs out by going at him on offense, make him work, tire him out - we don't do that, we stand around waiting for Harden to beat someone one v one - good enough to beat most teams, but not the Warriors.

    Not this year, we don't have the discipline. This looks like a 1 v 4 series.....unless we change character fast, we are looking at ending in this round.

    That, and they have Curry, Thompson, Green, and then the most talented player in basketball.

    I swear, it's like people just forget that's a thing.

    This was a problem vs Utah as well, and throughout the season.

    Your plan is to intentionally go at the 7` world class athlete as the offensive plan?

    Totally agreed. Game 2 is completely on our execution in the first half. Play even a little less stupidly, and we are up at half time.

    Yeah, go at him over and over again, whomever he guards at the top, drive by him - and on D, deny him the ball, play Shane Battier like defense.....make him work for EVERYTHING.

    Capela is not a $90million NBA player. Too damn soft.

    We're heading home. The Rockets will be better at home. I still have hope.

    The Clippers played the Warriors tougher -- even if the Warriors were playing down to their opponent, that's not a fair excuse.

    Ultimately this Rockets team is just fundamentally flawed and is being exposed as nothing more than fool's gold.

    Nothing good will come of this inevitable playoff debacle. No major roster movement and the style of play won't change either.

    By now More should be smart enough to realize it's just not going to work, but he's too stubborn.

    Tough for fans who have invested so much time into thinking this year would be any different. A shame really.

    This is the last year for GS super team. We have to play flawless to have a chance to beat. We did that last year with defense but this year we don’t have it. The competition should be more fair next year but we will likely lose Gordon :-(

    It sucks because you know this game comes down to 2-3 mistakes.

    But that's what seperates great teams from just good teams. They will always capitilize on the 2-3 mistakes you make and win in the end. Think about the dumb things we did, not boxing out, not running back on defense, not switching on 1-2 screens leading to 2 Curry/Thompson 3's

    Show me a discipline team that can beat the Warriors.

    Have y’all already forgot how suffocating we played the Jazz.

    Could it be the Warriors are pretty good at what they are doing?
