WCF: P5 | (1) Houston Rockets vs (2) Golden State Warriors | HOU 3-2

[Nowitness]

The closer we get to gametime, the more annoying it gets that CP3 isn't playing

[Madhouse]

Warriors are massive favorites tonight. It would be an all-time postseason upset if Houston wins.

[ButCanMarkDunk]

Expect the most lopsided victory in playoff history tonight.

[og15]

I think Houston finishes it tonight. They've played extremely well this season without Paul.

I wouldn't say extremely well if compared to with him, they played well, but there's a massive difference when they have him. They can certainly win if a lot goes right, but there's a reason the Warriors are huge favorites in this game, even outside of being at home and down 3-2

[HoneyNutCheerio]

Harden wont get any calls tonight, I guess. Will be tough

[Grillman]

Warriors are massive favorites tonight. It would be an all-time postseason upset if Houston wins.

Houston can make up for Paul being out by just hitting more open shots.

If that defense remains the same Houston is very capable of winning tonight.

That line is ridiculous.

[life_saver]

Only hope for Rockets tonight is Harden's 3 point % regressing back to mean... he is some 8/42 from 3 since Game...so shots have to start falling in at some point of time.

Never forget

How could we ever forget such a great comeback victory for golden state? It was epic. What a team.

Zaza Pachulia is truly one of the greatest players of all time. Carrying Golden State on his back to get them to the Finals.

Yup. One amazing & dominant half for the Spurs and tons of people think the Warriors lose the series. Lol

[red96]

The Rockets will have to play there best game of the season to pull game 6 off, and that's with help from the Warriors who'd also have to play below there level. I'm honestly looking past this game and hoping Cp3 is ready for game 7. I rather have a great Paul for 1 game in this series than having Paul throughout the finals.

[BeatDaCavs420]

The warriors will blow them out tonight.

Quite a hot take

[HornetsFan29]

calling it now.

Rockets 105-95.

Harden goes for 40 tonight

Gordon has a moster game as well bringing in 30 points.

Role players take care of the rest.

[Roscoe Sheed]

I hope so but I doubt it. I’m amazed they’ve even won 3 games. I thought it would be over in 5

[Dominator83]

How much $$$ are you throwing down?

[HornetsFan29]

How much $$$ are you throwing down?

I don't bet on games.

[Dupp]

I wish Paul could just stay healthy for once in his life. So frustrating. I want him to do well but he’s often his own biggest road block. Dude is so great on court.

Warriors win by 2000

it would be huge to get this win tonight for the rockets that way cp3 will have to thursday to rest until the finals and I think like I said rockets will win tonight and harden and gordon will carry the load.

Houston fans knew this series was winnable.

They did these same things all year to teams and would have approached the regular season record in wins if not for health. They locked teams down with the switching defense, then went on huge runs. They are doing the same to the Warriors. What you saw in game 4 is what they did all year. The Rockets are making GSW do things they don't want to do and GSW does not have a choice. GSW needs a good big to beat Houston. They don't have it. With Paul out, this series is now a coin flip, but GSW wasn't beating Houston after they adjusted after Game 1 without the Paul injury. He won't be back for game 7. If the Rockets keep the Warriors off of transition then the Warriors are going to have a hard time winning.


After Minnesota beat Houston in game 3, Houston adjusted and it was over.

After Utah beat Houston one game, Houston adjusted and it was over.

After GSW beat Houston in Game 1, the Rockets have won 3 of 4 games and have the super team against the ropes.

Keep underrating Houston, but GSW will have to beat them playing Houston's game.

Any news about Iguodala?
If he wont play tonight. I think Houston have a high chance to upset this Warriors in front of their fans.
Iggy has been one of the keys in this series. His defense is superior, we had the stats to prove that. He has been their playmaker.

[lambchop]

Expect the most lopsided victory in playoff history tonight.

with Curry catching fire while they're up 35 in the 4th and then even breaking the record for average points in the 4th quarter of a conference finals series and solidifying himself as a clutch player
