If the Warriors end up losing this game it's 100% on Kerr for taking Kuminga out of the rotation and leaving them with Curry and Jimmy as the only offensive threats for an entire game

What happened there? Did Podz forget Capers is on his team, assume he was called for a charge, and ask for a challenge? I'm confused...

The Warriors should move Curry on-ball.

Podz literally got that charge earlier in the game. Keep the calls consistent.

That'll stand. Amen was still moving and it was a flop anyways.

Rebounding is fundamental. The Rockets just too many offensive boards.

Uh oh .. 3 point lead just like that

I thought Kuminga was injured? So he's not playing because of Kerr and not injury?

i was thinking first time nerves might be tightening things up

Size matters too. The Warriors refuse to play 6'9 Kuminga and 6'9 Trayce Jackson-Davis.

Old Warriors showing they can't blow teams out and hold the large lead....they really need to be up 2-1 going into game 4.

Lot of hate in this thread on Houston myself included but they've kept their head in it and made this a competitive game despite attrocious shooting from key guys.

Not really. It would be depressing if I was a Rockets fan who never watches the Rockets and thought this is who they are, though.

Like I said when they were down 23. Not only not depressed, not even worried. Seen this all year.

Jimmy is 4-6 on FT, game is still winnable for the Rockets

CelticSooner · Post #836 » by **CelticSooner** » Mon Apr 21, 2025 3:45 am

Rockets are shooting 17% from 3. Not a good look GS

Because of Kerr. Kuminha is kinda dumb, so I can see why he is not playing, but he might have been a good option in this series

Draymond def gonna have a triple single today!

This will go down as the worst postseason loss of all time if Warriors collapse.

I think OKC is a terrible match-up for them, so they will likely need someone else to knock them off.

The Warriors have played them tough every single game this season. Quite literally the opposite of what's been happening this season.

I'm aware of the regular season results, just not putting much stock in them. Let's see if we get the match-up to find out.

Who wins?
