2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #2 Houston Rockets vs #7 Golden State Warriors (GSW leads 3-1)

[Optms]

They aren't getting any love from the refs against OKC. Also they have to get through Minny first.

Dubs have been playing with Butler like they have been for years. They have the chemistry unlike the Lakers.

Wolves are cooked. Lakers didn't have a DPOY level player like Green either.

Seems weird for a Lakers fan to be rooting so highly for the Dubs. Thought both fanbases hated each other ?

Just calling it like I see it. I prefer watching the Wolves but they are the weaker team. Gobert is unplayable. Relying on a washed Conely at PG. Dubs are a more complete team. Butler as a second option just isn't fair.

[RunOKC]

You’ll never win a game when you miss 12 fts. That being said, that foul on Brook was sus. Bailing a team out in a tight game over marginal contact is bs.

I agree but Brooks was a dumb ass for placing his hand on Butler's body like that. Can't say I'm surprised though.

[Mk0]

Ime pulling Adams before they put them into the bonus was so dumb. Just let the guy rack up the fouls and play a set offense for the next minute.

[California Gold]

Rockets are 44-75 from the free throw line in their 3 losses.

That's atrocious. Just tells you right there if they make some more FTs this series isn't 3-1. Can't win when you beat yourself on freebie points.

[guynumber45]

I'm telling you. Dubs are gonna give OKC hell

They ain't beating the Wolves. Ant gonna take out another bunch of oldheads.

[ball_takes23]

The Wolves are like if the Rockets had offense. But then they also have Gobert so

they are barely outrebounding lakers, they wont kill GSW on the boards the way Houston is. Gobert is big but plays small

[Wolfgang630]

The rockets can comeback. I don’t think this series is over. Game 5 they win.

[doogie_hauser]

Not gonna lie, the GWS home crowd is one of the worst/most extremely irritating in the NBA (probably number 1)

Heaps of Silicon/Bitcoin Valley Boomers.

Good luck to them though, Warriors played like garbage and still won though.

Curry didn't play well but most of their other main rotation guys did more than we could usually ask for. Especially considering what we got from an injured Jimmy.

Podz was great. He is getting better and better. I like him a lot

[NyKnicks1714]

Butler and Green should have both been ejected

[Optms]

I'm telling you. Dubs are gonna give OKC hell

Butler and ANT are a wash. Randle will get handled by Green.

Its a wrap.

[ArksNetsSince99]

Houston should trade for Trae Young. He would have won the game for them.

No way , Trae stays in East , I enjoy him beating the Knicks 4 times every season

[Chuck Everett]

Our center can't go 12-28 on mostly in the paint shots. Sengun should have dropped 40+ on the Warriors. Every one of Jalen Green's turnovers led to Warriors points. 8 points. Great resiliency from the Warriors to win without Curry really putting on his cape. Rockets may get blown out in Game 5.

[Optms]

The rockets can comeback. I don’t think this series is over. Game 5 they win.

Lakers have a better shot at coming back.

Its over bro

58% lol this is an NBA team
Tristan Thompson would be Steve Nash to these guys. Coco Melon NBA team

I'm not sure about all that but the Warriors are just playing against a defense in these games, not offense. GS has no answer for Ant and no rim protection like LA.

The Warriors have three of the best four players in a MIN/GSW matchup.

[Handlez]

Very sad they called that weak ass foul on Brooks on the Butler 3.

Decided the game.

NBA just can't be real.

[RapALot]

Ime with some questionable moves tonight. Amen Thompson not being involved in the last offensive play, after a timeout, being the most critical. Why was bro not in there, we've seen him hit a game-winner against the Celtics this year. I'd suspect he'd crash the glass and give you a second chance as well. Letting Kerr intimidate you into benching Adams after he gets you the lead also a vibe swing that happened too soon.

The Warriors have one of the best wing defenders in the NBA….

Draymond is gonna miss a game in that series for kicking Gobert in the nuts. He has been waiting for years to give him a playoff nut-tap.
