    What was so sad about it and why do you think Harden and CP don’t care?

    Warriors cannot lose this game.

    They lost this game.

    The more I sit and think about this win the more I realize just how big of a win it must be mentally for the Rockets. Warriors come out, smacked them around, told them to roll over and take it, and they did for a little while. Then Ego led the charge, Harden followed, and we were up. Holy **** we were up. No way we can get down by 12 again....

    3rd qtr both teams are kind of trading shots then Curry explodes. Hits every shot he needs to hit, down 12 again and it looks like Harden has basically went into "Well, I tried..." mode. Maybe the guy was tired, I don't know, but he did not look up for the challenge.

    Then CP3 comes and leads the charge. PJ and Ariza play gutsy ball, GG adds in some too, and we end up winning the game.

    I just love how they stared down the bully, took their beating, asked for more, and then just as the bully started gloating and shimmying, took their revenge. In the back of their minds now they should never fear this team ever again.

    Yes, you are right; Harden and Paul clearly don’t care. Paul moved his family half way across the country for fun and Harden and Paul spent the whole summer working out together because they were bored.

    OP was spot on. MDA has said the pressure was on the GSWs and they puckered up when it mattered most. Big ups to OP.

    Get the Lisinopril ready for Thursday

    No, no.. I'd still love an explanation. Don't be afraid. No need to use rhetoric to answer. I know why people use rhetoric, it's always to hide something. Just say it.

    We can get frustrated at times, but the "doesn't care" narrative needs to die. They care. These guys fight. Sometimes they just don't have it.

    the whorriers sank a bevy of unbelievable well-contested shots in the 3rd Q

    that has to be in the back of their mind, that little a capella voice asking "what exactly the F*** do we have to do to kill this ******* rocky reincarnate team?"

    they sweatin right now they sweatin

    Back from the future. A regular Tom Cruise of time travel. We've got to hand it to him. Still waiting on that game 5 prediction, though. I think he's charging the batteries. Big drain. Huge.
