He held him to 28% shooting on matchups in the regular season. But he's deviated away from what he did in the regular season - shadow him from Harden's left - he's been letting him go left whenever he wants. I don't know why he switched it up in this series. Kerr and Adams should have pointed this out to him.

I'm sure you've noticed Klay hasn't been playing up to his standard this postseason :mjcry:

I also think having 2-3 different defenders try Harden might throw him off. He's shooting above 50 percent for the first time in his life.

Warriors was getting a little too hyped though off their plays. That's what led to the Rockets big ass comeback.

Yeah sometimes things are flowing so well they just go full retard thinking they can do whatever they want. That's what happened this game.

It takes a lot of luck to win a championship, and Warriors got the juice.

Game 3 adjustments will be interesting. Rockets found some things that worked against Steph. Will Kerr have his team ready for the traps on Curry?

Rockets have a lot of fight, and Harden balled out. But for the love of God, can someone please force him to go right? When he goes right all he has is the step back or crab dribbles to flop to the free throw line. I don't think I have ever seen him attempt a right hand layup....

It's gotta be said, Harden aint cut from that killa cloth. We seen it in the Finals when they played the Heat and now this...

There is NO fukkING WAY that Bean passes that ball! As soon as he saw a sliver of separation, that jumper is going up!

I know I know, Bean is old and injured why am I talking about him.

I'm sorry, but he is the standard I measure all other 2 guards by. MJ is a given.
real shyt..how you not get a shot off in that situation? awful ending. passing it to Dwight with 4 seconds left?:francis:

Late in the game they started aggressively trapping him with taller, lanky players. This forced a turnover and got the ball out of his hands.

Expect to see the Rockets do this more often in game 3. They probably will do it off of screens early in the game to try and keep him from getting a rhythm.

It's a dangerous gamble again this team, but they really have had no answer for Steph.
