The Warriors should slow things down. A faster game is better for the Rockets who cant hit shots.

FVV and Jalen Green are a combined 4-19. 1 of 8 from 3. Yeah that's not going to do it.

Moreover, so much for that defense. This is a home game for them too. Imagine the Warriors offense in their own arena…

I said warriors in 5.

It's warriors in 4. Ain't nobody wanna see anymore of this offense from Houston. It's the stuff you torture al qaida captives with.
