The Rockets are younger, bigger, stronger and the Warriors just rely too much on the three ball with no actual inside threat. The Rockets will force a game 7 and advance.

If...

Lots of guys never did. I hope he does though.


This may sound crazy but his release especially short - mid range is similar to TJ McConnell who was a poor shooter also. Not as bad as amen but not good. I’m cautiously optimistic

I don't feel comfortable when the ball isn't in VanVleet's hands. Sengun is putting no arc in his shots.

I thought Draymond fouled Thompson under the basket

He’s a foul merchant

Honestly don’t get why Jimmy gets those calls

Rockets have youth and inexperience. They are playing better later in the series. They need to close this half well to show me they have that maturity to win the series. They are losing focus a bit right now.

GSW can't handle the length of Hou.

Does Hou have reliability of getting points offensively?

We are all about to find out.

Rockets should just blitz Curry with 2 all game. They're athletic enough to scramble and recover. Make someone else beat you

Doris Burke has to be banned from the locker rooms. Sounds like she just wants to hang out in those showers.
