Draymond vs. Metta might be PPV worthy

Kerr just allowing Curry to be doubled and taken out of the game is the real problem. We're not going to win anything with Curry and Butler combining for 14 points.

That's not the issue. The issue is the Rockets are making everything. They're shooting 54% from the field and 64% from 3p. You aren't going to win many games if your opponents shoot that well, end of story. Especially with GS shooting 38% FG / 36% 3p -- they're lucky to only be down 7. If they can keep it up for the entire game, you tip your cap and move on to the next game. If the averages revert to the mean in the 2nd half, I like our chances, as we're winning the possession differential battle for once.

Rockets defense is the story of the game. The zone is bothering the Warriors very clearly and that's been the main difference. The Rockets aren't really making any shots that they wouldn't otherwise hit.

Defense is stifling most of these guys on the Warriors. I haven't seen the Warriors offense adjust at all to it yet.

One problem at a time. Solve the Rockets first in the 2nd half or else it’s going to be Rockets vs Thunder next round. LOL

Wolves-Lakers is the next round for either team.

What’s been story of the game? Coming in late

Super intense. Jalen Green too many turnovers. Dillon Brooks instigating up a storm/gooning it up. Draymond matching his goon energy. Fred Van Vleet having a turn back the clock game. Quinton Post giving the Warriors 12 points off the bench. Ugly, but fun to watch.

There cannot be a player in the NBA who misses more layups than Sengun

Warriors early quick start. Rockets respond nicely with lots of physicality. Dillon Brooks instigates, Draymond reciprocates, Butler and Brooks jaw at each other a lot, a billion reviews, pretty ugly basketball. Draymond has a tech and flagrant.

I remember the entire Pistons team had to drag that dude out the arena before over a hard LeBron foul. Nobody wants any of that dude.

If he was even average this series is flipped on its head. It is amazing how bad this dude is at scoring.

6-0 start for the Warriors. Rockets always start slow. LOL

Sengun gets so far under the basket that he has no angle to make it. He's a mess.

If we go percentage wise, I'd say would be Ben Simmons at 0% (0-1)

[Patches Perry]

Question is, who will have more composure to start the 3Q? Warriors are rattled but they have a pissed off Steph/Jimmy and lucky they still have Draymond.

The Rockets have successfully mucked it up— will the refs allow as much physicality the rest of the second half?

I'm betting Warriors come out better but Rockets will keep it close.

Good call Patches!

You simply can’t play the way he does and have awful touch.

GS is -7% under average from the field right now. The best defenses (OKC for example) will hold opponents about 1.5% FG percent under their season average over the long run. It's not about the defense, GS is just missing shots they normally wouldnt, on average. It happens. Meanwhile, Houston is shooting +9% FG and +30% 3p over their season average right now. It will even out over the long run, but right now the shooting gods have been on Houston's side.
