You’d think it’s the Rockets who’d want slow down the pace but these version of the Warriors can grind it out too.

Rockets have gotten stagnant. Can’t win this game going cold like this. Warriors D is too good, it’s gonna turn up even more in the 2nd half. Gotta build up a lead in the 1st half.

They do well in the double big lineups especially in the paint and second chance points.

I could see Adams and Sengun doing well, but running 3 forwards with those 2 caught me off guard.

Amen is the point in that lineup. Doesn't really have the 3 you want from a lead guard/point forward, but he has everything else.

Guy barely has 2 hall of fame teammates out there.

You will do that now since I have the other way

Not sure why, i just thought Steph will have an explosion one of these quarters. Rockets’ D is impressive though so not really confident with that bet.

The stoppages are killing this game

Steph is about to drop the hammer when he checks back in and a lot of these posts will look stupid

I know you like to challenge when you know you are right, but just for possession when the rockets are struggling to score is only like a 1 point challenge.

This lineup has no spacing. How long is Udoka going to stick with it?

Rockets not winning the non-Curry minutes. That’s bad news for Houston.

This is the Warriors series. Outside Segun you can’t trust a single soul on this Rockets offense.

Tracymcgoaty · Post #355 » by **Tracymcgoaty** » Mon Apr 21, 2025 2:14 am

This houston offense is fUUUUUGLY man.

One Steph explosion and this game is over.

Butlers whistle is about to change how Houston defend him. Tale as old as time.

Draymond is playing center? Am i reading the box score right?

Houston offense making the Orlando hero ball look like the Showtime Lakers offense.

Houston’s on-ball creation is super rough.

Who wins?
