    He makes fchowder look like a rational person when it comes to harden.

    Great finish to the half cutting it from 14 to 9 in the last 35 seconds.

    This game is ripe for the picking.

    Lets goooooo

    Stop loading on KD’s side. Play him one-on-one. Make him make those ugly 18-20 foot pull-ups he loves so much. If he makes them, he makes them. Contest them, sure, but play a half step off of him and dare him to take those shots. If he drives it’s going to be a foul every time.

    Balance. Keep your man honest on your switches. Don’t ignore their energy guys, and for the love of god, BOX OUT!!!

    Literally play Capela, Faried, Tucker with any 2 guards of your choice and we'd be fine. Faried can hit threes so you still have 4 shooters on the court.

    These lineups have completely dominated the boards and were elite defensively in a small sample size. That this lineup is still a small sample size is an indictment on coaching.

    That's literally what the regular season is for. The coaches have 82 games and still didn't experiment nearly enough with their lineups.

    Someone remind our brilliant coach that we have actually beaten the Warriors in the regular season with Faried at PF and Clint at Center.

    This is so f'n obvious.

    Except he literally is.

    He has quite literally been scored on in most of his defensive possessions in the playoffs.

    Rockets practice?

    13 turnovers

    14 offensive rebounds by Golden State

    Lazy and no effort plays are why we’re losing. Biggest game of the year and we do that? Sad.

    Not questioning the fan part.

    They will never give him the MVP as long as he is with the Warriors.

    I didn't mean the Center needs all of those skills. But, somebody such as Brook Lopez would be a huge upgrade defensively and offensively.

    Just like last year, I don't think the Warriors could play worse, and yet the Rockets match them in new ways every time.

    House has been truly shocking in the whole playoffs. Not the same guy who looked confident going to the rim or hitting the 3pt shot.

    I think we need some Harrell's explosiveness.

    We looked like old man on the court.

    It’s strange that they played Capela and Faried together with great success during the regular season. Yet after Faried’s time off for the injury we really haven’t seen it since. Apparently we’re not too good at applying lessons learned.

    There should be a CF suggestion box for the coaching staff to review in real time. If there were such a tool, D'antoni would be playing Capela and Manimal together. And maybe we'd snag a freaking rebound, for a change.
