Sounds like Houston doesn’t even have anyone watching. Zero home crowd energy. Maybe it’s just on TV.

They just started to pan the crowd in the lower bowl for a second and there were swaths of empty seats. They quickly cut away

Wow that’s strange. What’s the deal? Are the rockets not very popular in Houston? It’s a huge city so I’m surprised.

Curry with 2 quick fouls. Not good. Meanwhile, the Rockets are looking like a team whose back is against the wall. Playing with much more urgency so far.

Couldn't tell ya. Any rockets fans that can explain? Are the fans just checked out? Houston has generally been a very good Basketball town.

There you go, fast start for Rockets. Expected since their backs are against the wall. Question is how they respond to the Warriors’ first big run.

Yeah this was weird af.

Curry got hit by Senguin and brooks (I think) when he attempted that 3.

This is why so many people think the NBA is rigged. The reffing with these fouls literally can control tempo of the game. It's seriously a thing.

That Heild call was bad but I didn’t think the Steph 3 was a foul. Just because he falls doesn’t mean it’s a foul lol.

NBA doesn't want series' ending in 5.

Watch for Curry to pick up his 3rd if Kerr doesn't bench him.
