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

Ime choked his offense by running the big lineup too early in the series. That's something you save when you are desperate. All these turnovers have been compounded by the bad spacing.

Warriors aren’t your typical 7 seed they’re more like a 2-3 seed in a full season with Butler

He did and Rockets failed to take advantage and actually gave up the lead.

Aside from OKC, seeding in the West means very little anyway
4 games between 2 and 8

And the good news for Dubs fans is Steph is more than that for happen, Chef wants another ring, he isn't as self absorbed about his own individual legacy (as great as it is)

It's rather refreshing tbh

Houston offense is probably the worst **** i've seen in a 2nd seed.

Dont care how good your defense is if you're offense look G-league it ain't happening.

Udoka isn't the best on offense. Remember how it was with Celtics under him too? He needs to give an assistant the rein on offense.

Udoka is getting taken to the woodshed. This offensive scheme is dog ****.

Sengun should have 50 this game

How? Rockets have no spacing and they just double Sengun.

Double team or not Draymond is 6'6. I am blown away by this era of basketball lol

Yes it's not much....you could actually argue that Warriors could've been the 2nd seed with a whole season of Butler.

Jabari Smith is an automatic unforced turnover.

Yeah, JSJ looks a bit dazed. His dog will wake up at some point.

This FVV lead offense is really an eyesore to watch.

The warriors defense has tightened up and the Rockets don’t have a PG.

They just happened to get the Warriors with Butler, a team that is not a true 7 seed.

It could’ve been the Wolves or Clippers and they would beat the Rockets. The Rockets was the matchup every team in the bottom wanted. The rockets can win the series, but they’re the weakest of the top seeds

Dude is out there playing 3 non shooters. Sure do that if you've got Jokic or Luka.

Who wins?
