Thats some major disrespect to Detroit.

They'd win 4-2

Well on paper a 44-38 team shouldn't beat a 53-29 one, especially when the 53-29 one played in a tougher conference. Teams getting to game plan has shown me this Rockets team is helpless offensively in a series though. They need to make some moves or they will be stuck as a first round exit.

This series would be over in 5 if Butler was playing.

Not sure how the Steph haters react after this game. Will they finally accept he’s one of the best ever to do it?

Every time Sengun gets the bball he has a wide open look but hesitates and turns it into a contested look

People who think curry couldn't cut it in the 80s and 90s due to the physicality don't know ball.

They've been grabbing and bodying him all series and he's still lighting them up.

Houston front office has a lot of work to do this offseason.

Podz too clutch.

Another gem they found in the draft.

Light years ahead.

Not sure how Embiid could help them if he's always hurt. KD, I could see.

Houston rockets are built like an NFL team that only draft linebackers for an entire team

I'd say when going at Draymond tonight, at the basket, Houston is hitting the rim less than half the time. He plays a different game, thanks to Curry. (He's also a great player, obviously.)
