    Harden needs one assist for 3X2.

    Sean Livingston was huge tonight. Instrumental in GS coming back.

    Three more. I don't think the Warriors will play another horrible 1st quarter like this at home. Just not going to happen. Who knows what happens with Dwight.

    Yea, that was an impressive 4th quarter by Harden. I'm glad he cooled off because I definitely don't want to see his face for any more rounds in this playoffs.

    Yep, GS was very rusty to start the game and Houston was high off their massive comeback over the Floppers to get here. Thankfully they brought Klay and Livingston along who led them right back into it.

    Honestly, I think the Sprockets are actually better without Coward. But they may not feel that way themselves. He looks like he'll miss next game. Hope it doesn't make GS fall asleep again.

    I don't think they are better without Dwight, but they might match up better against GSW.

    Got to say . . . I just love watching GS play basketball. That's real ball out there. I can't wait until our next young core can challenge them.

    I definitely think they do. There's more room for them to drive and kick or take it to the hole. Harden stepped up huge in his absence.

    Props to Kerr for recognizing Livingston's energy and keeping him in the game.

    That had to be the smallest ball I've ever seen in the playoffs actually. Dwight went out, so Bogut did not play much. Resulting in Barnes being the tallest guy out there for GSW at one point... and he's 6'8".

    It's amazing, such a thin line between best case scenario (GSW vs ATL) and absolutely horrific worst case scenario (HOU VS CLE).

    It looked like a rec game out there... Warriors did not have all cylinders firing today. Thompson will be very occupied slowing down Harden on the defensive end. He has to attack him on the other end. Pops Mychal is probably advising him of this. It shouldn't be all him as The Dubs have Iguadala, Livingston, Green and Barnes to throw at him. The two "X" factors on the Rockets to watch out for are Ariza and Brewer.

    I had to laugh at Lemonhead Terry mugging at Curry after making a shot, then losing track of him and watching the MVP hit a trey at the other end.

    Damn, thanks to the draft night i forgot about the game :D
    Way too close for my liking, Trevor needs to calm the f down. What is he trying to do, get them in the finals...

    I'd put Iggy on Harden for some significant minutes to save Klay energy

    Curry is ridiculous. I have never seen a player like him. He's got it all, speed, crazy handles, PG skills, clutch ability. One of the best (if not the best) shooters I've ever seen. And he gets his shot off so quick it's almost unstoppable. I don't know the list of shooters with the quickest releases, but he, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller and others have to be on it. Plus he can make his crazy shots off the dribble. He doesn't need to run around off the ball and get screens to get open, his handles are so good he gets his own shot as easy as he wants.

    Hindsight is always 20/20, but some teams (Memphis, Sacramento, and Minny) must be kicking themselves for not taking him when they had the chance. Minny took Rubio and Flynn just before Curry, just imagine if they had him now, they'd be the top seed. Jerry West isn't the GM, but he clearly knows what he's doing with that team, and Curry is still under contract 2 or 3 more years, so they are in good shape.

    It's great that, knock on wood, (and I won't even be specific so as not to jinx) he has been free this season from what chronically plagued him a couple of years ago.
