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

Yea but the rockets are an underdog everywhere especially in betting odds not to mention everyone at espn except for Bobby marks picked the warriors to win the series

Have the Rockets ran this lineup before? Thompson/Eason/Smith/Sengun/Adams

Crazy lineup by Udoka.

He always turn into pumpkin in the playoffs. Always.

Forgetting about Steph on 2 straight possessions is certainly a choice.

are the Warriors still a 7th seed if they had Butler for the whole season.....the difference between 7th and 2nd seed in the West is 4 wins.....in the East it's 20 wins

Steph curry’s finishing is always so beautiful

Rockets big ball lineup is absolutely destroying the Warriors on the boards.

And the Warriors have no lineup to match it.

feels like Rockets should be up double digits

The Rockets is the best offensive rebounding team in the league so it compounds.

Underrated aspect of Curry he has reminded us here:
his finishing ability is absurd - even when larger defenders are collapsing

Houston has size advantage but man is that offense ugly. Sengun has to ball out.

Betting odds / Vegas odds are not reaitic or relevant. They only exist to make money. They rely on human emotions just like the casinos.

Rockets are forgetting that Curry is one of the best ball handlers in the league.

6'7 Amen
6'8 Eason
6'11 Jabari
6'11 Sengun
7'0 Adams.

Close. Probably has to sit Adams, if you want to play those other 4 together.

Who wins?
