Absolute destruction on the glass, Houston has 20 offensive rebounds and 15 more shots than GS yet offense so terrible it still isnt enough.

Refs letting them play. Houston can’t make simple layups.

Anyone else see GP2 body check Thompson? 3 points off the extra possession, then 2 points off that uncalled foul... aiyooo... in a tight game... 2 off the Podz travel if it was a travel like y'all say.

Adams pulled out and GS gets a crucial offensive rebound. Why bring him out at all?

If Draymond can just hold it together and not do anything stupid, warriors will be fine

So Draymond shoves Sengun and no tech?

Again when will the NBA hold these refs accountable?

They literally just won the game for GSW. Disgusting stuff!

FVV and Jalen Green

Greatest duo since.

I think Rockets will win the series in 6, their offense just has to improve

Houston's offense feels like a club transported from 2003. They just don't seem capable of the big spurt they'll need to tie this up

They just had a 17-3 run :lol:


Over how many minutes. It wasn't a 2025 run which takes place over 3 minutes. It was 2002 run in which they shut down their opponents and score at a marginal pace.

Refs with the absolute carry job as soon as it got down to 2 points.

These before the missed out of bounds followed by the Steph dagger.

Rockets only have a chance if Steven Adams plays 30+ MPG

As predicted, HOU can't score when it matters most. They need to make some phone calls this offseason
