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

[sp6r=underrated]

Is Kerr actually conceding with 5m left in the 3rd?

Smart thing to do.

They'll be well rested and finish at home.

It would be a lunacy to play the old guys in this game. If it was 2015, they'd still be in there. Kerr is 100% correct.

[HardenGoat]

Question? Curry had 13 and Butler 7 points. Do they get a pass since they are up 3-1 in the series. Or did they choke ?

[Tracymcgoaty]

Time for ime to bring the starters back in.

[Sealab2024]

Uh oh. Lead down to 17 with 8 minutes left.

[NyKnicks1714]

Kerr was smart to pull his starters that early...but 17 now, I think you have to go for it, at least see what you can do in the next 2-3 minutes.

[RapALot]

Ime shoulda called that time out a LONG time ago. When they got it to 25. He should have never emptied his bench either. Stupid.

[rockmanslim]

How close would it need to be for Kerr to put the starters back in? 10? 5? Never, leave the bench brigade in to win it?

[Ice Man]

Reed sheppard is abysmal.

Like Doug McDermott and Dennis Smith Jr, a Summer League star gone bad. One of the reasons I don't bother with those exhibitions any more.

[Handlez]

Reed was drafted to the absolute worst team possible.

He can't even touch the ball while running with the rest of the bench.

Coach should be demanding he runs the offense. All the other players just want to show out and it's down to 17.

My gosh man get Reed away from that team or it'll be another career ruined.

[Marvin Martian]

Ime should be on the hot seat with this performance. GS wanted to throw the game away but Ime didn't want it so he took out his starters with 1 quarter left

[KO7]

Lead cut down to 17. Who called Kerr a lame ass coach?

Reed stinks stop trolling

Sengun is like the anti jokic to me. Everything he puts up i feel is a brick.

imagine the bench wins NBA championship in the end

BS.

He's never been given an opportunity.

You know nothing about the guy.

You stop trolling.

They've been exposed. Playoff Jimmy is a myth. Steph was carried by KD. LeBron would have scored 40 in this game.

[Sealab2024]

14 point game. 6:30 left. Rockets starters in vs Warriors bench.

[Patches Perry]

Pretty difficult question tbh. Probably 10 before the 4 minute mark. You'd love to let the guys who made the comeback ride it out but you can't just leave Curry and Butler on the bench.

[RapALot]

Ime should 100% be on the hot seat playing these ridiculous ego fueled games.

They sucked. I don't see how they could have choked, in the sense of feeling the moment. They've both excelled in MUCH bigger games than this one. So, I'm not buying that verb. But sucked is entirely accurate.
