1. Curry is clearly ailing (finger, ankle)
2. Durant is amazing but even he misses
3. PJ Tucker is a beast
4. James Harden deserves better than the slander he gets everywhere.

you have one of the best three point shooting teams ever... so you give up. hm.
It was clean IMO. That said, suspend him until he's treated like any other player!
That screen was entirely fine. If anyone wants to get mad at someone, Rivers needs to look at his teammates.
If anything Rivers teammates should get suspended for not warning him about the screen.
Abc didnt even give a good look at it. Or the steph elbow on Rivers earlier.
Lol, you can say that again. Even just a normal bad game from him and the Ws are up 3-0. From missing 2 of 3 FTs early to set the tone when the Rockets were wobbling, to the doinked dunk at the end (a specialty of his), he was terrible and should feel terrible.
Durant has taken his game to the next level but it feels like the performance level of the others has dropped.
It was Harden who was closest to Draymond and facing him as he set the screen. That is the guy Rivers should be upset with. As others noted, the screen was totally clean.
Congrats. I too love Harden and was hoping that your squad could even things up.
Also, I completely understand the Warriors hate here but the amount of hot takes about guys who struggle in a game across all these playoff series is silly. Guys have bad games - even the best. Most of these guys are so banged up and gassed right now that its amazing that some of them are able to sustain the level of performance they do on the regular.
Alternatively, I guess Steph Curry is a quitter like Kyrie after game two. The Warriors should probably look to deal him to Phoenix in the offseason. /piping hot take!
There needs to be love for Eric Gordon and PJ Tucker. Those guys played fantastic tonight and the latter simply imposed his will around the basket at times tonight. Were I a Rockets fan, Tucker might be my favorite non-Harden player on the team.
If Curry was Curry that would mask the bench giving them virtually nothing but him not being on his game gives the Warriors a much different look and one that needs Durant’s heroics to win. Klay, Draymond, and Iggy have been more than fine.
Yeah, this is what my brain is saying. They are just so unstoppable. And now KD is playing better than ever and Iguodala is healthy. Their death lineup is unbelievable.
“Guys PJ Tucker is not a good basketball player.”
-DeJesus a few seasons ago when Tucker was available for nothing and people wanted the Celtics to pick him up.
That isn't at all accurate but don't let it stop you from taking your shot.
What I said was that he wasn't worth a lot of defeatist posts that people made when the C's missed on him. In no way would PJ Tucker have changed the Celtics fate/trajectory over the last few seasons but that didn't stop some people from being really upset that Ainge didn't acquire him.
I love PJ Tucker and his story is one of the greatest things about the association. The guy helps his teams win. But I stand by my original position that he is a very good piece but not a true difference maker. There is a difference between saying that and he isn't a good basketball player
