HOU's defense and energy was incredible that half, hard to think they could match that intensity again, but I hope they can

Rockets need to be headed to the basket early and often in the 3rd or Golden State's gonna punch them in the face. 11 isn't enough of a lead on GS in the first half.

They've been picking on Durant on that weakside help a lot. Maybe they think he has checked out on defense if he's not ISO-ing on offense. Maybe D'Antoni knows something we don't.

Sadly, this is my feeling as well. Let's hope our feelings are lying to us.

D'Antoni made some good adjustments this game to space out the minutes. Harden is playing less than Durant and Green and the same as Curry. That plus warriors turnovers and rockets offensive rebounds makes me think it'll be a little harder for GS to come back as effectively 2nd half...but, never discount GS.

Really no explanation for why the Warriors are so much worse than last season.

Either KD or Steph needs to step up.

The refs took Harden down into an alley and victimized him. Punching him in the gut and taking 5 or 6 points from him. After that, however, it's up to Harden to turn that experience into a positive rather than wallow in self-grief. He was stuck in his own head after that.

Getting a 4th foul on Klay to start the 3rd Q would be huge for Houston.

Can't expect to shoot 33% and win. Harden needs to withstand the Warriors run in the 3rd

Capela out there giving the "dynasty" Warriors all sorts of hell. You imagine what a prime TD or Shaq would do in this era ? The NBA needs all least one traditional star two way big man. None of this 3 point shooting positionless big man nonsense.

I guess when he goes off hes not injured for those games

Yeah funny. Obviously he is not moving the same way as when healthy. People's hate is ridiculous. Even not moving well, Curry is the GOAT shooter, it's normal to shoot well sometimes.
