    Not great, but the Rockets only down 2. Warriors should be worried.

    Rockets shooting HORRIBLY and down by 2. Worriers really want to win this game BADLY.

    I just ask Harden and Gordon to have mediocre shooting in the second half and the defense will undo the Worriers

    This feels like a playoff game. Good, we need this kind of pressure now to get our heads right.

    Yes I think they will only adjust them at timeouts until the final two minutes. I don’t think they can interrupt a possession with a score change.

    He was when I posted it...oh, since you quoted me, you'll want to note that I said we'd be up or very close at half... was down double digits too when I said it. And that's the rest of the story.

    Good first half! Especially not shooting the rock particularly well. Adjustments should include
    1. Better transition defense
    2. Faster decision making on the offensive end
    3. Attack the basket to get the defense retreating to open up easier outside looks

    6-22 on three pointers (27%)
    12-19 on two pointers (63%)

    SHOOT MORE TWO POINTERS.

    52-54. I would say the Worriers came out with a lead, defended better, moved better with Cousins going to the bench.

    Capela, Harden, CP3.... fought back and tied the game at a point, Curry made the layup for the 2pt lead which is nothing.

    One of the worst shooting nights from 3 and still being within reach.

    D'Antoni has to try out Clark or House this game. I know he's in love with his purely offensive players before his defensive players, but you're not winning this game by rolling Faried out there. Green has been bad as well.

    I think actual Toyota center energy was what amped up our team. We need that energy every game of the playoffs

    The fact that the Rockets aren't playing particularly impressive yet are still in this game shows how talented they are to me. They don't gotta play perfect to win games. Harden and Capela duo is unstoppable as well. I saw 2 lobs to Capela, a hockey assist by Harden that resulted in an open 3 for CP3, and a lay up by Harden because the D was expecting another lob to Capela at the rim. These were consecutive buckets scored in the 2nd quarter and the Warriors could not stop it. At all.

    Weird reaction. That's too many minutes. Why didn't D'Antoni try rolling out Clark as the center? Sticking to these rotations is what frustrates me about him. If a guy isn't playing well, you don't just play the starters more minutes. You play someone else.
