    The Rockets posed huge match up problems for the Warriors. If CP3 played this is A nail biter.

    This is the best scenario for us. But let's be honest: HOU played with more heart in this series. GSW is getting by on talent alone. I don't think they are playing great ball; there are too many isos, too many mistakes, sloppy plays and the D is not what it used to be. I don't know. The 2001 Lakers would wipe the floor with them actually. So would the old Spurs and some other teams from that era.

    Well...maybe not going C Bags with the 3's would've helped too!

    :Laugh:

    I can't stand the Warriors either, hope we get the chance to knock them out next year. Tired of seeing their bandwagon fans in SoCal.

    KD trying to go iso in the last closing minutes of the game isn't good. Just make plays,and the ball will come to you when it does.

    Thankfully it doesn’t really matter who plays harder, only who can finish it off. Same for us in 2002, the Kings badly outplayed us, and we survived that series on an Horry game winner, the talent of Shaq and Kobe, and an admittedly corrupt ref. :D

    10/13/5 for Draymond. Another solid game. Their All Stars came through for sure.

    but look at the box score for their bench without Iguadala. NUTHIN'

    They'd have to cancel the series if 2001 Lakers and this Warriors team played. Lakers would gut them and snatch their souls.

    they'd find a way to make it competitive like all great teams, but like most Laker fans, the reality is I'm quite biased.

    Trevor "Terry Rozier" Ariza was the best Warriors player tonight.

    I hope Iguadala plays in the Finals as another body to harass LLLLL.

    I hope they wipe the floor with them. Sweep them. Embarrass them.

    E-wins defeated, no finals for soften and damfony. Now GS has to defeat LeBron so he signs with us.
