    Rockets can beat the Cavs without Chris Paul. That's fine.

    Unfortunately...they can't beat the Warriors without him

    As much of a pessimist as I am, I choose to believe in this moment.

    Harden's no Lebron, but maybe he can turn on the switch and we can see something like no other tonight.

    I believe!

    To quote Dido, I will go down with this ship
    No ... get up by 10 ... give him a breather. Don't tie yourself to timed benchmarks. Save timeouts for endgame. Use back to back timeouts (like Lue) to get an extra breather. Slow the game down by hacking and send them to line. 2 is better than 3, defensively speaking. Multitude of things you can do to stall GSW pace.

    Even without CP3 I'm still staying by my prediction at the beginning of the series. That we win. We have the talent to beat them but we need absolute focus. NO DUMB MISTAKES!

    We can't let the moment get too large for us and bring the emotional content without losing control.

    To all of us, b/c in that case they'll be useless in crunch time.

    Rotation will stay short. You might as well accept it rather than be angry about it. Joe, Luc, Anderson, that confidence has long sailed and those guys have been worthless to us. Considering this may be the last game this season, Mike won't care if he plays everyone 48 minutes. Only reason he'd be force to expand is foul trouble.

    This always felt more like Game 5 in 1998 (Utah), Game 6 in 2008 (Utah), and Game 7 in 2009 (Lakers) than any other deciding game thanks to the CP3 injury. Just so unfortunate...

    Proud of this team, hope they have one more miracle left in them tonight!!

    we can still win if we keep the turnover count low and don’t allow Klay and Curry to go off...we must keep the game in the 90’s or low 100’s

    we must also win the 3rd or lose it by no more than 2 or 3 points

    Harden gotta drop at least 35 on good percentages and 2 or 3 role players need to have big nights...I’m looking at Ego, Tuck, and Ariza for that

    Not so much points, but mental fortitude. He doesn't have it, which is why Paul was so helpful. He brings the best out in James because as well all know James is prone to being a mental midget sometimes. Paul's energy is contagious

    for the love of god, SURVIVE THE 3RD QUARTER

    keep the game close in the 4th and they will crack under the pressure.

    Harden and Ariza will both play 48 tonight barring foul trouble I think. However, if we can get an early lead I think the smart thing to do would be to extend the rotation to give everyone a breather and try not to give up too much of it. Then try to push for a decent lead going into halftime. Gonna need that cushion for the 3Q Worrier surge.

    D’Antoni gotta be judicious with those timeouts. Use them when ever GSW goes on a run or hit two consecutive threes. Just don’t sit there and pull one of them bullcrap Phil Jackson let them play through the storm bs. call the timeout.
