Durant was bad with the ball stopping last night. It looked a lot like Melo with it. I don't even mind the isos with him but it's the indecisiveness that kills me. Same thing I knock Lebron for at times. If you're going to iso catch the ball, make your move and go quick. Don't catch it and stand there for 5-10 seconds deciding how to attack. It kills offensive flow, it forces the team into a tough shot since the shot clock has run down, and just leaves everybody standing around.
Draymond has to stop tipping rebounds and just snatch them down when they're close. Houston has too many ball hounds that are attacking any loose balls so not worth the risk. I counted like five times where he didn't attack the rebound and it ended up in Houston's hands. Would help a lot of Durant attacked the boards as well, he's been lackadaisical in that regards. Draymond also has to chill with the turnovers.
Steph needs to be aggressive. As everybody has already pointed out the Warriors just play with much more energy when he has it going. He's been solid as hell attacking the basket when Houston is overplaying his three point shot so not sure why GS doesn't have him initiating offense a lot more and when he does why he isn't attacking more. If anything I would use him attacking as a way to initiate the rest of the GS offense since that seems to be the most successful thing they have going offensively.
I don't want to see David West the rest of this series. This just isn't the series for him. I'd like to see more Bell, off eye test he's been solid but haven't looked at the actual numbers. It's probably time to bench Livingston but with no Iggy they're stuck between him, Cook, and Young. Cook's completely fallen off after the late season run once the playoffs hit. Still not sure why Javele can't get more minutes and at least make some rim runs to change up the look they're giving to Houston.

If the Rockets somehow pull it off and upset the defending champs on Saturday/Monday...
Rockets adding CP3 >>> 73-9 adding KD?
Shyt is crazy to comprehend that CP3 impact on a 3pt shooting contender is more than KD on a 73-9 jumpshooting championship team.
SHOWS U HOW OVERRATED LEBRON IS FROM COMING BACK 3-1 AND HOW WEAK THE WEST IS

If CP3 is done Rockets need to pull off a miracle in one of the next two games. After that they can beat Cleveland or Boston without him. Won't be easy, but very possible. Likely, even.
I don't believe in miracles, though.

Change is inevitable...
And once again...the Rockets do NOT need CP3 to beat the Warriors
Ya'll will see this tomorrow night...shyt can I make a bet in the Sportsbook??
Rockets win without CP3

Tyrone Lou out there drawing up plays on Hardee’s napkins and this is what we come up with
You could tell at the end of the game, it looked like someone slapped his mama. He’s done and he knows it.
Harden needs to step the fukk up.

attitude as bad as his odor
If Paul is out for game 6, I can see the Rockets going to a PnR offense where the ISO'ing will be cut to a minimum and Harden will attack right off the screen and try to create and/or get his buckets. We know hes capable of doing that and going off, so I wouldn't write them off yet for it to come back to Houston.
