    Only reason we lost was depth. Going with 7 player rotation (one being GG who was a defensive liability and one injured CP3).

    Running out off gas by the 3rd quarter was an issue (I know you are clueless to this) and get somewhat
    of a second wind near the 4th quarter is not enough.

    Go back to sleep.

    I said that running out of gas was the #1 reason we lost the series from MDA’s poor minutes management. So no you’re wrong once again.

    How was he managing minutes poorly if anyone besides the 7 were not able to provide, Nene= roasted on defense same for Ryno and Luc couldint do **** while still being injured, Iso Joe is also not good enough to play Warriors, why dont you go and coach Rockets instead, scrub.

    Even the 73-win Warriors still need Durant.

    You said we do not need Lebron? LMAO.
    We just dont need OP's thread here.

    You put in guys like luc for defense or JJ for just a few minutes each half, because with the amount of energy required to play the warriors on both ends otherwise losing is inevitable. Doesn’t matter if luc couldn’t score, that’s the whole point of having james harden.

    Same thing with JJ, doesn’t matter if you play guys who can score if they go on massive cold streaks from exhaustion in 2nd halves of games 6 and 7.

    Stop being a sensitive p***y

    Problem solved:
    1 get lebron and win a couple of titles with him,
    2 than trade him for some good role players and see if we can win without him 'the more fun way'

    ReSign CP3. Keep him on the bench until the western conference finals.

    Then hopefully he will be healthy to play the whole series with gsw

    If we had a player who was more capable of carrying the load against the Warriors, Chris Paul could have averted injury. He was doing too much.

    Have you seen Lebron mins in the playoffs? Running out of gas isn't an excuse given bron is much older than harden.

    Oh, come on. Body makeup, genetics, biorhythm......it all plays a massive part in endurance and injury. Some guys are just built differently than others. Ken Griffey Jr was a phenomenal athlete, yet he suffered from hamstring injuries all the time. Sometimes it's just your anatomy.

    If we just try to improve our current roster, without worrying about LeBron, we'll have another very good shot at the title.
