I agree you cant blame the role players but holy shit man--- Shaun Livingston, Quinn Cook, Kevin Looney, Jordan Bell, and Nick Young were the guys that played minutes outside of their Big 4. That level of feculence is hard to believe.

Thats like the Sacramento Kings Summer League B Team.


like i said i take back what i said about Iguadala's corpse- they need to reanimate him and get him going Westworld style.

it makes the deep end of the Cavs bench look like the 87 Celtics.

I don't think you realize how horrible your team is in depth outside of Lebron.

Aside from only taking 14 FT's (compared to 27 for Hou.)...GS turned the ball over 16 times which is too many against a top team, even if the game is on your home floor.
Plus, as some others have pointed out, there was too much iso ball by the dubs that led to some head scratching decisions and poor shot selections.

One thing though...the Dubs are usually pretty good at making necessary adjustments after a tough loss.

I still have the Dubs in 6. I think they go back into Houston and win game 5 and close out in 6.

That was a gut punch of a loss.

Welcome to the crazy world of the NBA playoffs. Things like this happen, hell, you can go back to the 1985 Finals where the Lakers got crushed by Boston in game 1 (in the Boston Garden) by a score of 148-114 (known as the Boston Massacre), Everyone thought the Lakers were gonna get smoked in the series but they came back hard in game 2 and won it (109-102) and ended up winning the series. I'm sure there are other examples too. We're not supposed to figure it out, but that's part of what makes it fun, right?

Love to see Houston win this Game 5, that would definitely create the best drama in these playoffs......GS goes in there and wins, its lights out obviously

Nyger please. It was lights out before this series even started. It was lights out before the NBA season started. Golden State owns the NBA right now.

Agreed. Since this series is obviously the real NBA Finals, I want to see a tough, hard-fought series (preferably one that goes 7 games).

doesn't matter if you lose by 1 or 41, they all count the same.

I always said in the playoffs, I would rather get blown out unless it is an elimination game. Do you know how frustrating it must be to play great and still lose? Much better to play like crap knowing you brought your F game to the table that night because there are several adjustments to make

Houston strikes me as a team that quits pretty easily, was impressed that they came back down 80-70, Dirt almost turned off the TV there

Yeah I thought they were done after the traditional Warriors 3rd quarter blitz.

Game 5 will be interesting though. A Rockets win and for the first time since KD came to Golden State, there will be a shit load of pressure in game 6 & game 7 on the Dubs
