2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #2 Houston Rockets vs #7 Golden State Warriors (Series tied 3-3, Game 7 Sunday!)

[cgf]

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.

If Jalen Green hadn’t been godawful yo start this series, GSW could really be on the ropes.

76 to 49 at half, sheesh.

[holdenwait]

Hell yeah Rockets, more of this please. Alpie and co taking this to game 7 hopefully

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

It's also playing with fire. Putting all your eggs in game 6 puts a lot of pressure on them, and as we saw in the play-in, you don't want to leave your fate on 1 game. You also don't want to come back to Houston in game 7 after losing two in a row.

Or you put all your eggs in this game, Jimmy reinjures that pelvic, or Steph tweaks an ankle.

Warriors will be embarrassed this game but they are still the big favorites in Game 6 and the series.

anybody who is not OKC can beat anybody who is not OKC

Nah, Minnesota is just too good & too big for these tiny old teams.

Houston just repeat this for two more games and you’ll have to 3-1 comeback against GS

I don't disagree but I think LA and Minnesota would have the edge against the Warriors. Still ,Warriors could put on a clinic and win out, I don't see it happening though.

The Adams/Sengun FC has been absolutely dominant against GSW. The hack-a-Adam and Udoka not trusting him to hit FT's are why they lost last game. That size has been an insurmountable problem for the Dubs

[thelead]

I'm jealous of Houston's FO. They surrounded their young guys with dogs that can shoot. Imagine if Paolo and Franz had FVV and Brooks going 6-8 from deep in a half??? The whole team averaged 8.2 makes a game at 26%

Congrats Houston fans regardless of how this season shakes out!

Weird series.

Ultimately (so far) came down to Houston missing too many free throws.

Gives me young Rodman vibes. Just a ball of energy that wants to win.

[tmorgan]

Houston: huge lead.
Jalen Green: 3 FGA, plus some free throws.

Coincidence? I think not.

Just kidding, at least a little. Amen going wild on defense and FVV hitting everything will do that.

Houston would be up anyway, but 9-15 on 3s certainly hasn't hurt, either. FVV is outCurrying Steph for the 2nd straight game.

I thought this series would end with the Warriors winning in 6 and I still do.

If I were Kerr, I would give the vets 5 minutes to make a dent in the lead and then sit them if they don't.

Dude is someone getting killed by Mike Meyers in the arena?

[Tracymcgoaty]

This has been a great series and the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA finals.

Yeah...Also that was against the supernova brothers Kyrie and Lebron.

Steph himself said he's never seen two guys ever play at that level.

Will we see supernova Vleet/Green?

Is Silver going to throw Houston a bone like he did Cleveland???

That's sort of been GS' hidden superpower over the years is how good they are at ft shooting and some teams will have playoff games where they only shoot like 67% from the line. Can easily be a 5-10 pt swing just on that.
