Rockets can’t afford a close finish to this or else, they fold perhaps on a Curry late takeover. Only way they are winning this is via a blowout.

It's crazy how the league literally treats Draymond completely different from any other player.

No one gets away with the crap he does.

Two silly faul calls on Amen, refs need to make up their f’ing mind. Are they gonna allow physicality consistently or gonna pick possessions

Warriors just tackling Rockets players.
Refs looking the other way.

So the league doesn't want that Warriors/Lakers series huh?!

Draymond should arguably have 2 techs & gone, meanwhile Amen gets 2 bs calls on him to get him off of Steph....hmmmmmmmmm

I've nicknamed him Assistant Commissioner Draymond Green.

Btw, it's all about Curry, of course. No Curry, and Green wouldn't get a quarter of the leash he does.

Rockets lead by 8 and Rockets fans still whining. Relax, you are winning this game. Yes it’s worrying that Golden State stole homecourt advantage but at least you’re able to tie the series before the pair of road games.

Refs are working hard to keep Warriors in this so far.

I understand kerrs frustration. His team is only in the penalty with 5 minutes to go in the quarter and the other teams best defender almost got to play 3 minutes without foul trouble. It's tough out here.
