GAME THREAD: Warriors @ Rockets - ESPN 9:30 ET

[eliteballer]

Should be a good one..

[Celtics 1825]

Rockets always give the Warriors problems, so this will be another good match between the two.

Is KD playing?

In.

[Mr Exlax]

Suck it Warriors!

[Hey Yo]

KD is out
Time for Curry to step up and make a statement.

See if it happens

[Celtics 1825]

Time for Curry to step up and make a statement.

See if it happens
Unlikely, I'd probably say more like Klay will go off for 40+.

[imdaman99]

Warriors are motivated. I know they don't match up well against the Rockets but everyone knows they are capable of blowing anyone out when things click.

[Bosnian Sajo]

I need Cousins and Curry to have huge games.

[brownmamba00]

Chef is cookin 2nite:rockon:

[Indian guy]

Glad KD is out. Simply makes for a far more interesting game.

In find GS unwatchable with KD. Defeats the entire point of sports (competition).

[Celtics 1825]

LMAO BOOGIE :roll:

[brownmamba00]

Boogie looks slow af:lol

[Celtics 1825]

Refs back at it

[LukeWalton]

great game. I wish I could coach a team that had all star level players :facepalm

[lilteapot]

man nobody has a chance at beating golden state this season

[LoneyROY7]

man nobody has a chance at beating golden state this season

That's your takeaway so far?

:roll: :roll: :roll:

[lilteapot]

:roll: :roll: :roll:

KD isn't playing and they are struggling to keep up with the warriors. rockets offense is awful

[LoneyROY7]

Rockets are 3-0 against the Warriors this year. KD played in all of them. :oldlol: :oldlol:

[Celtics 1825]

Seriously? Warriors are looking the most vulnerable they've looked since KD joined

[LoneyROY7]

Seriously? Warriors are looking the most vulnerable they've looked since KD joined

Too much henny in his lil' teapot.

[Hey Yo]

Steph goes ghost in the 2nd.

[lilteapot]

Seriously? Warriors are looking the most vulnerable they've looked since KD joined
:roll: keep buying into this narrative. they are vulnerable yet still the best record in the west.

[LoneyROY7]

James stop f*cking ch*cking jesus.

[Celtics 1825]

James stop f*cking ch*cking jesus.
I will never understand why he settles for so many long 3's

[LoneyROY7]

I will never understand why he settles for so many long 3's

5 for 7 on 2 pointers. :facepalm

[Proctor]

5 for 7 on 2 pointers. :facepalm
Their game against Boston recently he was 14/31 for the game, while being 6/18 on threes. :biggums: :roll:

[Smoke117]

I will never understand why he settles for so many long 3's

This is why he can't accomplish anything in the playoffs. He just falls in love with chucking up bad step back 3pters. Hasn't even shot 30% last two playoffs while taking 10+ a game. :facepalm

[PP34Deuce]

Bogies game is always goin to adjust offensively.

Houston is gritty.

[LoneyROY7]

Warriors move the ball better without KD though for sure.

[PP34Deuce]

This is why he can't accomplish anything in the playoffs. He just falls in love with chucking up bad step back 3pters. Hasn't even shot 30% last two playoffs while taking 10+ a game. :facepalm

Harden is a tank. He could bully ball if he really wanted to especially on sgs.

[brownmamba00]

Shazam looks like hot garbage

[warriorfan]

No Durant, no problem. Addition by subtraction. Ship this no heart loser the **** out!

[LoneyROY7]

Great f*cking pass baby.

[LoneyROY7]

Shumpert trash ass.

[LoneyROY7]

F*cking Harden.

[Indian guy]

If Curry wasn't the GOAT shooter everybody would refer to him as that quick PG nobody can stay in front of. The guy, even at 30, penetrates at will. Amazing first step.

[Gotterdammerung]

Harden is starting his traditional playoff-fade a couple months early.

:oldlol:

[Smoke117]

With the way the rules are now every guard with a decent handle can penetrate at will.

[LoneyROY7]

This one not looking good for us.

Hard to sweep GS.

[Twiens]

Boogie is eating inside against Capela

[Indian guy]

GS was the #1 ranked defense in the 2018 playoffs (adjusted). Showing some of that D tonight.

This is why worrying about their regular season struggles is so foolish. There is zero incentive for them to go hard before the playoffs. They are so ridiculously talented and well coached that even without Durant they'd be favorites for the title. With him, there's no point in even playing.

They are going to cruise to their 3rd straight title (and put everybody to sleep while doing it).

[dazzer87]

playoff Harden.........:lol

[ninephive]

Lol Harden and CP3 running clock. No wonder these losers will never win anything.

[TommyGriffin]

Harden 8-11 from 2. What a f*cking idiot.

[ninephive]

Harden 8-11 from 2. What a f*cking idiot.
2/12 from 3 and typical sub-50% shooting.

[LoneyROY7]

James was shooting like 39 percent from 3 in January. Down to 35 percent now SMFH.

[LoneyROY7]

LMAO they still have a chance.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

14-2 run by Houston

Orlando went on a 14-2 run to end the game in the other game KD missed:oldlol: :oldlol:

[LoneyROY7]

Maybe Harden could actually hit a 3 to tie. :lol

Doubt it tho. :(

[Proctor]

Better chance of the refs gifting him a whistle on a phantom foul

[warriorfan]

What happened vs Houston in the games ED played in? :cheers:

[Proctor]

ED :lol :lol :roll: :applause:

[Smoke117]

Harden with the choke. :roll: :roll:

[ImKobe]

LMAO they still have a chance.

nice choke LMAO

[ninephive]

Harden with the choke. :roll: :roll:
Harden with the Harden

[LoneyROY7]

How is that a choke? They had a chance on a tip out fakkiittttssss.

[bluechox2]

oldest guy on the court out runs everyone

[LoneyROY7]

It would've been a choke if he missed the first FT.

[warriorfan]

ED :lol :lol :roll: :applause:

:lol :cheers:

[LoneyROY7]

Damn, Warriors 1-0 against Houston without ED. :eek:

Good thing he'll be there for the playoffs. :pimp:

[Smook A.]

Shitty loss. Harden needs to start resting when he's hurt, it's obvious that his wrist is still bothering since that Philly game. No coincidence that he's been shooting so poorly from 3 since then

[bluechox2]

james harden was fouled on that free throw...

[TommyGriffin]

Imagine if Harden hits 3s in the playoffs. :eek: :eek:

[Smook A.]

Imagine if Harden hits 3s in the playoffs. :eek: :eek:
Rockets going all the way then

[warriorfan]

Started before then. He's 25% from three since the ASG.

[Uncle Drew]

Is Durant holdig Cousins back?
