    Ok cool.
    Really far fatched for a team that won 73 games and made the finals 2 years in a row, you're right.

      Also not a soul here thinks Houston is winning this series.

      Shoot they almost lost last night to be honest.

      Thing about Steph not doing alot is that neither is Chris Paul

      You have one of the best pick and roll guards in the league and you don't utilize it at all?

      Moneyball is still losing.

        I’ll say it.

        It’s a real stroke of luck to come up against a team in the Finals consisting of LeBron James and four very average players. It still took 6 games with the Warriors actually being down in the series at one point.

        Then they lost in 2016. Some will say they were unlucky to lose Draymond, I’d say they choked at three chances to put the Cavs to bed.

          A better take would be, because of Durant's ability to score at will, Curry and Thompson don't play as hard because they don't need to play as hard.


          Yes, it's a problem when the game is close and they need to turn it on, but that's always been a problem with Golden State during this era. They do turn it off way too often because they know they can heat up so quickly.


          Despite Curry looking like Ayehsa told him some bad news before game time, the Rockets still needed OT to win. I don't know, that kind of makes it seem like the Warriors don't need to go full throttle in a Game 3 up 2-0.



          Also, let's not forget to give Houston's defense credit. Their defense in Game 3 was very good.




          Let's wait till Game 4 and see what's up.
          Well, neither of us Knows what would happen without KD but my guess is that without him that GS would not have won the last 2 Chips. Is your guess that they would have or are you saying that we shouldn't speculate bc we just don't know (if so what fun is that)?

          But yeah, I agree with your other points. The not playing hard thing is an issue for me, especially with Curry. At least I can count on KTs defense if his shot is not falling.

          And I hate that they didn't go full throttle in Game 3 because honestly anything can happen. What if KD sprains his ankle in Game 5 and you could have finished the series in 4 if you had played hard and been focused in Game 3 and 4. Weren't there several injuries in Game 6 against the Clips? That series shouldn't have even gone 6 games...but at GS we have this one particular guard who does not play hard every night at Playoff time.

          There were others to blame as well (ahem...Kerr) but everyone complains that we have 2 MVPs but one of them can't be counted on to play on a MVP level consistently through the Playoffs.

            Looking like we might get another classic with this one.

              Murray playing well early, he’s looked really solid for it being his first ever playoff run.

                I've been waiting for Collins for 2 years now. I think he could be a good player.

                  Mason Plumlee has become a solid passer. Playing with Jokic must be rubbing off.

                  But man this game is crazy.

                        Always cool to see guys like Austin Rivers and him play well in important postseason roles.

                          3 guard line up. Curry cooking.
