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

[Prez]

Just do not see Houston winning this. A desperate, fired up GSW team at home is tough enough as is, without one of your stars it's way too much.

[CeraVe]

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.

"Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala is considered questionable for Game 6 of the Western Conference finals against the Houston Rockets, the team said Friday."

McCaw is playing but he'll be limited.

Anyone find it odd how a team with 2 MVPs, 2 All stars in their prime along with Kerr, Adams, Brown as coaches need more help in Iguodala? And injuries to Paul.
Something does not add up (as in, some players and someone on the bench are not all that and a bag of chips). They shouldn't be down 2-3 even without Iguodala.

Should have been fired up in Game 5 when Draymond mentioned their "backs were against the wall" after game 4.

I personally don't like what Kerr is telling KD lately. He is making him think too much instead of playing basketball and it is showing.

Warriors a -13 favorite...damn

[LarsV8]

Feel like it will be a blowout tonight.

[Grillman]

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

Houston is forced to play its best rotation against the Warriors this post season, more minutes.

There is also more likely to be GSW complacency with Paul out.

If Houston's defense shows up they are winning tonight.

[Grillman]

That is a dangerous line, considering Houston has kept them under 100 two games in a row.

[Patches Perry]

It may be the case that no amount of resolve will overcome GSW tonight, but if Houston can take anything from last year's playoff failure losing by 40 in an elimination game to a team without their best player (Kawhi), it's that the game still has to be played and a team of individuals that all play just a little better than their average can collectively more than account for missing a great player in a 1 game situation.

I'm hoping Houston brings the belief that they will win, and that GS has an off game.

That line is absurd. Houston should be insulted.

Do they need more help or do they just need their full team like everyone else?

That is a scary line to bet against.

I could see the Rockets winning this game due to defense. I can also see them get down big and say, "see you game 7 to preserve players legs."

Scary.

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

Sadly for him, age and previous hamstring injury are risk factors for future ones. Untimely injuries have really been his biggest road block

[Coxy]

The Warriors will break out at some point, but I fear that may come too late with Iguadala out.

LEGO Warriors.

The Rockets haven't needed their full team. Luc is their Iggy and they've been able to win 3 games without him.

As they should be, Paul has been great while Harden has fallen off a cliff after game 1.

Yeah I was hoping such a reduced load this year would have helped him get through the post season

[Young gun 6]

It’s damn near impossible for Rockets to win without their best player this series.

If they do, Warriors and KD would be the laughing stock of the league.

That so wrong

[rale93lfc]

I came here to say that Trevor Ariza was extremly good this series. Pay attention on his defense.
