The rockets seem really not ready for the moment on the road.

The west is often that way, though. I remember last year (or 2 years ago?) the Jazz were in the 11th spot only 3 games behind 4th place with maybe ~12 or 15 games left to go in the season.

Would a Trae Young and Jalen Green back court work ?.get the feeling Ime and The Rockets are going to pull a blockbuster trade in the Summer after a disappointing round 1 loss, Trae could really cook in H-Town.

95 should be the magic number every game for the Warriors. Just find a way to get there. The Rockets will be hard pressed to get to 96.

I think they should have done the Golden Gate at sundown on the 4th of July. That way we could have tan silhouettes of fireworks and planes and banners and rockets and sparklers and hamburgers and sodas and skateboards....

Come on Rockets, fight back.

It's good to see the Dubs back in their trademark role as Playoff Villians. It's been a couple of years

With such a horrendous start, you'd think Warriors should be up 10-12. I wonder if Butler came out so early because he was feeling discomfort.
