Dillon Brooks vs. Draymond Green does sound entertaining though.

Expect the Warriors to win, but should be a good series

Who’s getting tossed out a game first? Brooks or Draymond?

GS in 6. HOU doesn't have the offense to keep up with Curry and/or Butler.

Didn't Amen shut down Curry last time they played? Held him to like 3 points I want to say.

GS in 6 I think.

But this will be a dogfight. The Rockets are a really good team and Ime Udoka is the best coach in the NBA imo.

Actually I take that back. I think Ime’s coaching is good enough to win the Rockets 2 games.

If somehow the Warriors can't outplay the Rockets even with the refs carrying them, they'll just injure a key Rockets player instead. It's the Warriors' way.

We probably get crushed due to inexperience, but hey, you never know.

I think people underestimate Udoka a lot here , that’s an easy one for the Rockets

These are the new generation of the Rockets players. With different DNAs, I'm very optimistic that we will win.

Barely beat the Grizzlies at home in a must win game. Rockets are better than the grizzlies
