    we may or may not see some doubles here and there on kd depending on if kd plays as well as he did on game 1. we'll just have to see what they do differently this game but im hoping they correct the mistakes they made on their own from game 1 and guys who didnt play well step up behind james, cp3, and cc. ariza also plays much more solid defensively minimizing his foul takes. him getting in foul trouble hurt a lot

    Of course they do. Kerr carried on about how important home court was until it was obvious that they wouldn't have it. Then it was suddenly a shrug and, "it doesn't matter." The regular season matters, a lot.

    That's in the rear view mirror now, of course. Both teams want to win tonight, but it's a bigger game for Houston. We need to take care of business here and get a split in Oakland. I'll keep repeating this. That's how we take back home court. Sure, it's obvious, but obvious doesn't get us a split at home or there. What's obvious is that we have to start playing like we know we can play. We can and will start doing that tonight, in my opinion. We have no other choice.

    Dmo thinks to himself: Boy, I was lucky to avoid slaughter in the first WCF game.

    Yes... they did. They kept mentioning how important was. The reason they changed the narrative late in the season was because they knew they weren’t getting it.

    This. Steph textbook boxing out Green for an offensive board late in the second half was symbolic for our effort in that department.

    Cut the dribble by half. Do what you did in the regular season. We will take Game 2!

    I agree with Gordon but just like anything else the man needs to earn those shots. He was so F'n open in so man shots. They also used to shoot from the parking lot and now they are just at the line. Boy do I miss Rudy T. He always had a plan B C and D. He also had Hakeem with back up plans. Counter move afyer counter move after counter move.
    I really hope so brother. This Rockets organization owe us old Clutchfans memembers alot. I've burnt through so many computers and thrown my hamd through plenty of walls because of dissapointments.

    If the other guys guys can make their shots then maybe they'll get the ball more! Also credit to Warriors for not allowing easy passes.

    But I can't believe he said that. Also when he gets the ball he thinks it's a smart idea to shoot from half court? Bruh come on now. TRADE!

    Take your loser mentality elsewhere.

    He's just down the street. They should give him a call.

    Seemed to me the ISOs are taking too long to develop. What happened to the seven seconds or less?
