I've got the Rockets winning tomorrow partly because I don't think the Warriors will give the effort required to win and not having Iguodala and West. I'm not sure the Warriors realize that game 4 is a must for them and they'll come out lackadaisical again like in game 2.
Losing game 4 is huge because the Rockets surely will win game 5 at home which then means it goes to seven and we know what happens then. I'll be interested to see if they come out intense and focused tomorrow. I'm betting they won't.

All your simpering whiny attempts to get at me

Are you insane? Stop eating paint chips. First you said I was whining about the Celtics game 3 loss & now you say this nonsense? Read your own comment (#1532) you space cadet.

Gotta learn to read. I said all your whiny bitchy posts are because of the Celtics loss. Good lord, if you are going to argue at least get your facts straight. Hint: Read post 1519.

If the Rockets are the favorites and the best team in the NBA, why is it on the Warriors here to be the team that has to give the effort required to win. Shouldn't the Rockets just win because they're better?

You keep blaming the Warriors for losing, but they're the underdog right? How can you realistically blame them if you think the Rockets are better?

Because the Warriors showed everyone last night, even skeptics like me, that they are the best team in the league.................when they want to be. The problem for Kerr is getting them to want to be.

Their history shows them to do only what's necessary and not give the extra effort required unless they really feel like they are in trouble.
That's OK from time to time in the season but against an excellent team like the Rockets when the Warriors go to try and turn it on when they need it it might not be there. It has me concerned.

The chance of the Warriors losing the next 2 games is actually significantly less than the chance they win the next 2.

Game four's effort will tell the story. If its there they just might end it in 6; if not it goes to the Rockets in 7

Okay so D’Antoni said, “Golden St has all the pressure”.

I see what you are trying to do. Harden and CP3 dont seem to play very well under pressure but they aren’t that stupid to believe you man lmao. Lebron would have said, “We have to win Game 4. A must win guys”. It’s like D’Antoni doesn’t believe in his guys.

Warriors aren't going to come out lackadaisical. They don't want Game 7 in Houston. Get the 3-1 series lead and close it out in GS where Iggy will be back healthy

Yup. Got to say I was one of them. I was highly critical of Ainge for just hording picks and not using them to acquire established talent. Stevens has clearly been his best move though.

Not predicting doom and gloom just yet, but filing this also under not good. The Warriors were 1-2 against the Rockets in the regular season. Guess who didn't play in both losses: Andre Iguodala.

He's a key defensive piece to the team and one that helps limit the Rockets in their offense. I think if the Warriors are going to win tonight, it might end up more of a shoot out.

Warriors probably win but it will be a lot closer than game 3

The big 3 and Dray will have to play very well and efficient unless Houston is just not on. I expect a close game. Iggy is the TT of the Warriors
