2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #2 Houston Rockets vs #7 Golden State Warriors (GSW leads 3-1)

[RapALot]

The shift was when Jabari left the game.

Houston should build around green and thompson. Sengun is garbage

Sengun is overrated but Green? Dude is horrendous. He'd fit in with tanking teams posting numbers on horrible efficiency.

Amen Thompson looks like Jared Vanderbilt. Dude has zero offensive game. Absolute zero.

I like Jabari Smith, he seems legit.

Sengun's lack of verticality and size seems like a problem.

We all know of Steph’s and Draymond’s greatness but the role players need to get their flowers. In a game without Butler:

Podz - 10 pts (key 4Q)
Payton - 16 pts (key 4Q)
Hield - 17 pts (5 3FGs)

33 combined points from Payton and Hield.

Needed every bit of it. Just don't let Hield dribble the ball.

What’s Jalen Green pissed about, did he even play in this one?

Knowing Draymond it wouldnt surprise me if it had something to do with Green's baby mama. Thats the only reason you react like that after you had a bad game and the season isnt over yet. Or you're just an idiot, that too

[Mamba Mentality]

Dray probably called him a you know what for painting his nails black but at the end of the day Jalen still going home to Draya. Damn talk about a tongue twister.

[OldSchoolNoBull]

Great win for the Warriors.

Steph just being Steph...36/9/7 on 23 shots w/only 2 turnovers.

Kudos to Hield/Payton/Podz for showing up.

And shout out to Quinten Post - 12 boards/4 assists w/0 turnovers.

Rockets may kick themselves for losing this if Jimmy comes back looking anything like Jimmy. This was their golden opportunity to get HCA back.

[Optms]

33 combined points from Payton and Hield.

This.
Yes Curry was great but getting 33 from those two was huge for GS

They should have. They were open all night. Curry was drawing all the defense.

I like Jabari as well. Read they'll probably trade him. They should trade Green asap.

So sad. for rockets.

Well deserved for Rockets fans, who were claiming the series win already because of the Butler injury. LOL

I don’t think their best play is on their team yet. They need that in trade. But I’ve watch enough nba ball to know that someone isn’t garbage based on their first playoff experiences.

I agree, but boy was he garbage tonight
Yikes

[holdenwait]

Şengün garbage takes are so damn garbage damn selves lol talk about an overreaction

[KGDirkTD_Fan]

Is there anyone on the rockets you can just green light and just jack up every shot possible? How can it be worse than what we've seen this series?

[Tracymcgoaty]

Why is this a trend where guys paint their nails? Is it supposed to reflect their mood? Did Green paint his nails black because he subconsciously knows he's a black hole on offense? Or that his offense akins to the abyss?

[durden_tyler]

As one mentioned, final year of FVV so there’s at least good news for the Rockets after a first round exit.

Jabari the only Rocket who showed up tonight, of course Ime didn't play him that much so he can keep his sons Amen and FVV in the game to make sure they get a loss.

Yes they have a “Green” light player already. He just sucks every other game. LOL

For sure. He was absolutely garbage. And the lights were too bright for Evan Mobley last year too. People really watch games with no memory. It is like year after year this happens and almost always young guys, especially bigs getting punked by vets in the playoffs.
