2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #2 Houston Rockets vs #7 Golden State Warriors (GSW WINS 4-3)

Crazy idea for Steve Kerr, run Jackson-Davis and Kuminga out there for at least a few spot minutes. Please.

I bet the Warriors heavily before the series started and I’m letting the series bet ride, but I really don’t think they’re gonna win today. Udoka’s too good. Any other coach in the league would have just rolled over in 5 or 6 games but he came up with that brilliant matchup zone where someone always is tight on Curry which allowed him to play multiple bigs at the same time and turn the series around. I don’t think the Warriors have an answer. Their best chance is to match with what size they have, but Looney vs. Adams is still advantage Rockets big time.

This is the last stand for the 2010s players

I think Houston would be a more entertaining matchup with the TPups, but I am not going to complain regardless of the outcome this evening.

If Houston youngsters get stalled because of gm7 and heavily depend on FVV I can see that he can outshoot them out of the game

If Houston play solid defense and spreed their shots evenly it’s kind of easy win for them

I trust in Udoka though

Houston in 7

I had the experienced Warriors the better chance to win the series. But Udoka is a master adjuster, he surprised me how well he is adapting.

I dunno. I think having General Soreness come back to Target Center for the first time since he made an ass of himself by demanding out might be more fun.

He’s gonna get eviscerated by the fans.

Dubs will have 30+FT in a close win

Probably missing someone in this but this is how I'm categorizing these players for game 7. Honestly a coin flip game but Houston should be able to take this home maybe even without a big Jalen Green game.

you are missing the most important player for Rockets - Adams.

I'm missing Adams and Post lol too late to edit at this point. Put Adams in Shaq tier when he gets hacked again.

Zeno wrote:Shame on the NBA for using Tony Brothers in a game 7. He was almost certainly one of the worst refs in the league this year. He falls for every trick and makes way too many calls. As a neutral observer, he tends to ruin games from an entertainment standpoint, though he's been a bit more restrained in the games I've watched so far. What I don't understand is that he was used almost exclusively in the 1 vs 8 or 2 vs 7 series early on which to me indicates that the NBA knows he is not very good, now here he is in a game 7. I was hoping that they would weed him out as the number of games waned. He was the ref in game 6 of the Knicks/Pistons too. hopefully this is his last game and he isn't too active...

Brothers games tend to get chaotic

I don’t see how warriors can win this one they have no answer to Adams and the rockets defense

Guardia · Post #33 » by **Guardia** » Sun May 4, 2025 11:03 pm

Hard to see the Warriors fine answers for the inside presence of Adams. They will need a great shooting night to win this one IMO. Jimmy seems also very limited physically.
I just dont see it for the Dubs.

Warriors are going to win tonight. There is no way a Curry-Butler duo is going to have arguably the most embarrassing moment of the decade. No way.

Steph Curry’s O/U for this G7 is at 27.5.

In this series. he has hit the over 3 times (31, 36, 29) and under 3 times (20, 17, 13). That is really an easy line to take under if you believe the Rockets win tonight.

Warriors win. I’d bet a lot on it if I was a betting guy.

Welp time to see if playoff Jimmy is indeed legitimately still alive.

I want Houston to win but I'm afraid Curry's gonna go crazy and win it for them just like he did against the Kings 2 years ago
