This matchup reminds me of when the Kings made the playoffs 2 years ago. Kings had a great season and finished 3rd but unfortunately had to play the defending champs Golden State in round 1.

Golden State ended up winning in game 7 when Curry went off for 50+.

Senguin will need to score 40, and/or Jalen Green will need to score the ball a lot better.

Rockets can’t space the floor. Green is their best shooter but he doesn’t have the chops to create a good shot.

Sengun is really the only one who can create. Rockets have Green but not using him at all.

Green has had no success against Curry so far. Maybe he should try attacking Santos.

Jalen is getting locked down by Curry.

He and Sengun need to ball out this series.

Warriors only finished 4 games behind the Rockets in the standings. The West is crazy

Van Vleet is useless if his shots are not falling.

This is a game of runs and defense. Probably no blow outs will happen.

It’s gonna be a good series though. Houston has the dogs and their rebounding effort is legit.

Watching the warriors get destroyed in the rebounding department is so brutal it’s making me physically uncomfortable.
