    I know I been banging this drum. Not saying it's bad starting clint. Just think it would be better to start gordan. We need to start fast. But idk, maybe Clint will deter them from driving cause u know they gonna try to play with force

    Houston has adjusted its defense and its causing GSW some real problems.

    You don't mess with a player's routine in Game 5 of the WCF. Capela needs to start, Gordon needs to come off the bench, and adjustments can be made as the game goes on.

    Yes, but they didn't make the change in Game 5 of the Western Finals. I'm all for tinkering early in the season if things aren't working the way you want, but right now, everybody needs to be locked in and focused on their role. The last thing Clint, Eric, or anybody else for that matter needs to be worried about is their pre-game routine and how it's going to be affected by whether they're starting or not. You stick to your game plan, and make adjustments in-game.

    I'm bout to blow your mind yea they didn't, "After falling behind 2–1 in the 2015 NBA Finals, Warriors coach Steve Kerr inserted Andre Iguodala into the starting unit for Bogut, who had been named to NBA All-Defensive Team in 2014.[12] The change was first suggested by Kerr's special assistant, Nick U'Ren, who was a fan of the lineup because it always seemed to pick up the pace of the game to a faster speed, which the Warriors preferred" so yea u have to take chances n read the tea leaves

    Gordon has to get hot one of these games. Game 5 must be that one. We haven't had a strong three ball showing since game 2. Let's make our open shots, lays and stop letting GS get rebounds over us.

    Would love for GG to drain 4-5 3's.

    Role players tend to play better at home.

    Lets see it.

    I was so discouraged after game three that I didn't watch game four. Big mistake. I frankly expected the Rockets to throw in the towel. They didn't. Now it comes to this. Neither team has followed a win with another win. The Rockets have still not looked like the mid-season Rockets. Game two came close. The elephant in the room is that whoever wins game five likely gets the series. Huge is not a big enough word. In NBA history the winner of game three "usually" wins the series. I would personally like to see both teams play their best and the Rockets win. Oh, forget that. I hope the GS Warriors have the worst game of the year and the Rockets blow them out.

    I hope it is close again with the Rockets coming on top.

    GSW now has it in there mind that they have to play extremely well to win now.

    It caused them to crater last night as they were not playing free spirited ball. They were forcing everything and it showed.

    Houston and most notably Chris Paul needs to come out ready to fire.
