Aim is to get that 3rd foul from Sengun. That’d be a big win for the Warriors if they get that foul before halftime.

Houston can win this just being faster, stronger, creating turnover and 2nd chance points, even if they shoot like crap. GSW is a soft team now

Houston offense is probably the worst **** i've seen in a 2nd seed.

Dont care how good your defense is if you're offense look G-league it ain't happening.


Udoka isn't the best on offense. Remember how it was with Celtics under him too? He needs to give an assistant the rein on offense.


Dude is out there playing 3 non shooters. Sure do that if you've got Jokic or Luka.


It's his lineup decisions as much as his scheme impacting his offense.

Jalen Green is playing out of control

Yeah the hate he gets on this board is so weird


The grittiness he provides is valuable and when his shot is falling he can change the complexity of a game

Yo did I see a halfcourt possession where you pass to your Center at near half court just to bail yourself out.

no reason the Rockets should have only 34 points at the half....Warriors aren't exactly an elite defensive team

Rockets take the leap once they move off Jalen Green
