Just shows the eliteness of defense at the NBA level. The Rockets players can't even dribble at all, looks like they're on the court against 12 defenders.
NBA basketball players are good.
Vanvleet has handled the Warriors pressure very well.

Steven Adams has been one of my favorite players to watch in the first round. He's so physically dominant in this matchup. Grabs offensive rebounds like he's playing with children, while also playing solid defense.

As strong as he looks, he’s actually much, much stronger. Happy for the guy, early on this year he looked washed.

My favorite plays have been Moody trying to make a layup by jumping into Adams and then collapsing like he got shot by a sniper.
Why would you even do that to a dude who seems like he was built by bricks.

A broken down Steven Adams is wreaking havoc on the offensive glass. I do think GSW will advance, but Minnesota also has a huge lineup and they’re way more athletic than the Warriors.

That's a good, hard Playoff foul. Not a flagrant.
