Two words that alone mean very little, but together are the most beautiful thing: Game 7!

I’m not putting it past the Warriors to still win it on the road, but it’s looking rough right now.

How would it destroy anyone's legacy? Steph is 53 years old

he does not look at the data. when the 3 guards playing together none of them are scoring better than 50%TS.. just terrible lineup

Wow, really? That is crazy. In theory it should at least score some.

yeah its pretty clear its not going to work:
Steph: 50%TS
Podz: 25%TS
Buddy 50%TS
Butler:83%TS
Green: 80%TS

it helped the big more than the guards, unfortunately they are overmatched by Adam and Seguin. I am not sure why Kerr is doing this to kill ourselves.

I'm taking the Warriors in game 7, but I'm impressed by the grit of this Rockets team to come into the Warriors home building and get a win in an elimination game against some very seasoned playoff greats. Great experience for them.

I did not anticipate Houston being able to dominate a 4th quarter that was a 2 point game going into it.

Watch Adams and Thompson get 2 quick fouls to start the game. If Houston can weather that storm they survive.

Dude you didn't have him on your team like we did. What we saw this series is who Fred is. He shows up some games and he doesn't other games. Rockets will live and die on his shot and let's see how entertaining it is for Rockets' fans the rest of the playoffs. The Rockets fans were getting on FVV already. Broadcasters were kind by not trashing him earlier in the series. FVV is trash and treasure. You don't know what you'll get from him.

You're just reacting to the fellating Doris and the other dude has been doing on Fred because they got nobody else they can on Rockets. Yes he's a point guard who keeps his team organized. He learned to impact the game in different ways like Lowry and he contributes that way. He's a key piece on the Rockets but he didn't do this single-handedly.

Houston fans have been saying the same thing for the past 2 years too so it's not just us lol. Happy for Fred though!

How would it destroy anyone's legacy? Steph is 53 years old

and rockets are the much better team. The only chance we have against good team is to get some Curry flurry but rockets has faceguard him beautifully.

Houston's offense still sucks, but their defense and offensive rebounding are overwhelming. The two things that don't rely on the players having an IQ over 80.

My Dubs' vets look old!

Podz, Moody, GP2 and Buddy sucked.

Houston just took their lunch.

I want Houston to win but I'd still give the edge to the Warriors
Could be a GSW at SAC part 2 with Steph going nuclear once again...

Who wins?
