    No other way around it. Let our guys rest and make them panic about a game 7. Don’t let them think they can remain competitive without Durant.

    Yep.

    If Rox win in blowout fashion, I like our chances to win G7.

    If Rox barely squeak by, they will definitely lose in G7

    I’d argue it’s better for the Rockets if it’s a close game so GSW play heavy minutes. They are the thinner team so it would work to our favor.

    If Durant was healthy I'd feel like this is over, but this should be interesting. We just got to win 1 game and then anything can happen. Lets hope KD is out.

    I can't stop feeling like the Rockets will approach this game like they approached Game 6 when Kawhi was out.

    In the past I'd feel better knowing we didn't have CP3 then, but now it feels like CP3 might make us worse

    Oh yea. Boring win. Book it.

    That snake was keeping them afloat. He isn’t there anymore. Game over.

    I don’t think it’s possible for Capela, Paul, and Gordon to shoot any worse than they did. But I also don’t see Capela or Paul being effective for the rest of the series.

    Harden and Gordon are gonna have to carry us on offense but the game will be won by defense. If they can focus their energy on Curry and Thompson, deny them ball and double Curry when necessary then it doesn’t even matter if our offense is that good.

    The warriors are going to play much different and it usually works better for them that way.

    GSW far more scary without Durant.

    Curry-centric offense >>>>>>>> Durant-centric one.

    I’m worried.

    extremely worried about game 6 if Harden has one of his signature elimination games our season is over

    A blowout? lol. Very doubtful. A win is a win. The biggest part of the KD injury is their lack of depth..We all know Steph & Klay is plenty of firepower. Won’t be anything easy about it
