It's not likely, but I have unpleasant memories of the Lakers being 3-1 against the Suns and then losing 3 straight - The games have to be played and this series hasn't started until the Rockets win one - Unless the Warriors are going to sweep them and in spite of my picking the Warriors to win - The Rockets are a bunch of bums either
Yes. Rockets take game 2 tonight without much trouble as an over-confident GS team comes in unprepared to play after accomplishing their mission of a split the other night.
Oh I don't think there is any chance in hell that the Rockets can recover, and I seriously doubt that the Cavs can either. I think LeBron did an outstanding job last night and played as good as ever could have, but unfortunately for him it was not enough to sustain the lead.Big difference there.
The Warriors are an all time great team. Those Lakers were not.
The Rockets weren't likely to beat GS if they won game 1. If they lose game 2, the only question will be whether or not GS can finish the sweep at home.

That being said, when you have a player like him, there is still is a perhaps 5% to 10% chance since he's done it before
See,
You assume complacency because they were complacent in the regular season. Not anymore.
Their mission is utter domination of the Rockets. A mere split is not enough.
Warriors had to hear all year how the Rockets were better than them and were going to beat them.
I highly doubt you'll see the Dubs complacent at all.
A sweep in dominating fashion would ruin the psyche of the Rockets, and I think that's there short-term goal.
A HUGE difference - So far Boston hasn't played on the road and won on their home court like they were supposed to do and needed to do - But Houston lost both games at HOME - and are now headed to the Warriors court where they won't have home court - I didn't think they had much of chance to begin with, but they are screwedI agree. The Cavs aren't likely to win their series either. But, there is a huge difference between losing 2 games at home vs. losing 2 on the road. Also a huge difference between being down 0-2 to the Celtics, vs. 0-2 to the Warriors.

I agree Rockets take game 2 but I dont think that GS will be unprepared or over-confident.......Houston is straight up good enough to take this game tonight and 1 of the next 2 at GS and make this a long series.
Precisely. I said Warriors in 6, so they will lose 2 games. Rockets didn't get destroyed in game 1, it's not like they can't win a game or two. They likely lose both Oakland games, win game 5, lose in 6.
How to get swept by the dubs 101
The Rockets ran 45 isolations plays in Game 1, and that was the most by any team in 5 years.
Chuck always tries to start some shit. ROFLMAO. Nothing wrong being 3rd wheel behind 2 of the greatest of the last 20-30 years. He's winning titles. Thats all that matters. Klay isn't good enough to go somewhere and be lead dog and lead them to 'ships. That isn't his game. Im sure he knows that too.
So may as well make millions on a stacked team just knocking down a few 3s and hitting a few layups. EASIEST money ever.
He probably has one of the best deals ever. Not a lot of pressure on him. Just sit back while Durant/Curry do their thing. Cant beat that.
Now is he WORTH 200 Mil? Hell no. Not when your team is so stacked they can win a 'ship without you. Thats lead dog Money. Or should be.
No 3rd fiddle should be getting paid that type of money. But there are far worse players than Klay making a ton as well thats undeserved
