Bad for the Warriors but not really unexpected. This was a letdown game the world saw coming_ their closeout game is Game 6 and they are playing like it.

The Warriors can't create a single good shot against this zone.

Typical Warriors getting blown out by 30-40 points game

Refs accomplished their goal. They weren’t exactly subtle though :lol:

With over 9 mts the announcers are talking about GS resting starters? That’s way too early.

This is the most dominant defensive performance I’ve seen all postseason. Warriors are rattled.

Damn refs making the Warriors stand around like statues on defense!!! Diabolical.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Took Houston a while to remember that if you just remove Curry from the offense the rest of the roster is just as inept as you are at scoring. Except they can't score off their defense.

And unless Jimmy is getting +10 FTAs he probably isn't dropping +25 on you

Warriors are disgracing the league right now. They just completely no showed today. How is that respectful to their fanbase or the viewers

Oh **** I was wondering if Houston could play perfect defense with no free throws allowed all game, while being extremely physical

As predicted first free throws for warriors after 30 point lead.
