Re: 2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #2 Houston Rockets vs #7 Golden State Warriors
Kuminga will be playing in game 2...That's my prediction. They need another guy who can score and who is an athlete. They're relying too much on smarts and positioning.

Going as expected so far. Par for the course unless/until Capers and crew take over.

when the Rockets beat the Thunder a few weeks ago I was impressed with his defense

It's really nice to see the hustle and intensity in the NBA for a change. xD

This is going to be a tough series for the Warriors. It's 2-7 for a reason.

I appreciate them playing some Mike Jokes as they cut to commercial. Nice Houston nod

Butler going to need 15 free throws a game.

I swear I read a stat that said he had the best plus minus of any Warrior during their regular season matchups. Kerr is an idiot if he doesn’t play him tonight.

Re: 2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #2 Houston Rockets vs #7 Golden State Warriors
I there any coach in the league that forms their team after themselves anymore than Udoka? 
It would be interesting to see what the current Celtics would be like with him still at the helm.

Against the grain? A 2 seed is supposed to beat a 7 seed easily.

Re: 2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #2 Houston Rockets vs #7 Golden State Warriors
I feel like the Warriors should play Hield more.  He can be that shooter they need at the 2 between Steph and Jimmy.

Warrios are small, and not in a good way.

Rockets in 7. The edge goes to Udoka
