The Warriors finally figured out how to get more offensive boards than Houston -- never stop the Rockets from scoring the first time.

Warriors did the same vs Grizzlies in 2022. It seems very dangerous to put everything on game 6 basket.
They want to rest their aging starters, and they don't want to show any potential adjustments/tricks before game 6, but this is too much imo

Amen Thompson has Curry in hell out there. Kid is nuts defensively. First-Team All-Defense for sure.

If Thompson is gonna defend like this GS isn't coming back, as entertaining as it would be.

This is the prudent thing to do, unfortunately for those expecting a close game.

Sengun has to be smarter there, but the way Butler is drawing a foul on any contact whatsoever, given how physical this series has been, is extremely annoying.

I can't see Golden State doing any real damage if they get to the second round. Curry has been solid, but he hasn't been as consistently impressive as Lebron, Luka, Edwards, or Randle. I don't think the Warriors could hold up against the powerful onslaught of those stars backed by their teams' playing well.

Think Curry's just been lazy tonight and the Rockets are playing like they're on crank.

Make no mistake this will be a 20+ blowout in game 6 at Oracle.

All will be forgiven if and when they win the series in Game 6. Are you new to watching the NBA? Letdown games do happen.
