I mean they could. Their offense is the worst out of all the teams in the West by far.

probably still a long series, FVV and Green need to go shoot the basketball and never leave until they hit 100 shots. I'm afraid they might not make game 2.

Jalen Green's picture going to be on a lot of milk cartons tomorrow.

Moody and Podz saving the Warriors from a monumental collapse. Outplayed the Rockets starting backcourt, what a joke.

Can't go 4-19 and be the leader of the team. Just a complete scrub. He's worth $15m/yr

This man literately took 2 steps back to brick a 3 after going 2-12

I can't :lol:

I don’t understand why the Warriors have such a small front line every year.

They rarely face a team that can punish them for it

The main / only advantage is the collective IQ. Smarts can compensate for lack of size, athleticism, etc.

Everyone knew the Rockets half court offense and perimeter play was suspect, so why be surprised now?

Butler was made in a lab for the NBA playoffs.

What happened to the Curry stopper? :lol:

Ain't ever seen anybody rate green though. Not even Rockets fans.

Couldn’t disagree more. Warriors’ defense is the truth. They’re +10 per game since the Jimmy Butler trade. They’re literally one of 4 teams that can win the championship. Wolves or Lakers have zero chance against them next round.

What's the word on Kuminga? Is he just done?

This felt like the easiest ‘upset’ to call. I haven’t looked at the betting but I bet the Warriors were the favorites

Riley also getting exposed tonight

Should have paid Jimmy

They also won't get 22 offensive rebounds every game

I fully expect that to happen again, just like rockets turning the ball over even more.
When it comes to shooting I won’t rule out Fvv and especially green playing like crap again

That's probably because he is horrible.

Same.

I wish he got smacked just like he did to Jordan Poole.

All the whining about the refs just makes the win more satisfying.

Imagine playing like the rockets and complaining about the refs, so disappointingly soft from the fans.

Good physical game. 3 more good curry games probably wins it. Hope he does it.

he just isn't that good this dude is looking for a max deal and he out here dropping 3 more points than Draymond Green =. 7 points on 15 shots

I didn't like him coming out of the draft. It doesn't look like he's added or grown his game. I would be hesitant to give him max deal.

Who wins?
