Increased physicality in the playoffs does not seem to bother Steven Adams much.

Capers icing JSJ now. A true competitor.

What's keeping this game from being a blowout is the fact that most of the Warriors role players outside of Podziemski haven't showed up,atleast on offense. Lots of inconstantly on that side of the ball, tho the Rockets have been playing good defense.

If you GS can win a title with this offense you’re crazy.

Podziemski GP2 two-man game with Steph and Jimmy in the lineup? Why

Lol at Steven Adams being the savior for Houstan. Thompson & green look completely lost out there

Houston offense is basically let me just drive into 5 people and hope Adams and Sengun saves me.

Jalen Green is an absolute cancer of a player man. Dude is horrible.

Rockets back court has been so freaking bad. If they were just normal bad, they might actually be leading here

Podz and GP will need to score these last 7 mins. Rockets defense absolutely focused on Steph and Jimmy.
