Series Thread: 2) Rockets vs 7) Warriors

[msgkings322]

As long as they keep it within distance they are fine. Houston is not safe in close games, GS has the experience

Just got a hunch since early in the game Warriors keep making turnovers and Houston defense is forcing them to take bad shots

 

[msgkings322]

yeah Houston learned some things over the course of this series. Credit to them and Udoka they aren’t the same team that lost game 1 at home

Well it's looking like there will be 2 game 7's now after all, folks.
And both coming out of the parity rich WC.

FVV

We done here

Yo, I'm not used to FVV being this hot, damn! He's usually hot 1 game, and shooting breaks the next 3.

Last 3 games he’s been great. Rockets should win game 7 pretty easily

Love how they give timeouts to teams without possession

The Dubs should play Kuminga heavy minutes Game 7. The guy's your 4th best player and your 3rd best offensive player, play the guy!

Warriors can hit shots. If they are hitting their 3s they win.

Kerr is too stubborn

 

[Shanemansj13]

did Brooks even play in the 2H? Lol

 

[UK Cowboy]

Dubs will have to play a perfect game in game 7 to have a chance. They let a young talented team find their confidence. That was a fuck up

 

[Shanemansj13]

We know the W’s do give up 3-1 leads

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Be back here on Sunday for game 7.

It looks like Freddie flipped this series. I can't see how the Warriors rebound.

he is an athlete which seems to be what they are missing. Did the guy fall that far out of favor? He was being hyped for a while there.....if he had any trade value they are destroying it right now.

Warriors will pull a Sacramento game 7 and win

Yep....* but they couldn't do that tonight.

The Dubs had small but brief leads and they were all in the 1st qtr.
They tied it up once late in the 2nd qtr (on a Curry 3) to make it 46-46....but that was the closest they got for the remainder of the game.
Houston kept their lead throughout the entire 2nd half...never looking back.

* GS shot a paltry 15 for 49 from downtown....and that just isn't gonna cut it.
Not to mention they also committed 17 turnovers.....which also isn't gonna cut it if they plan on winning game 7.


Also of note: GS went 18 of 22 from the FT line.....while Houston went 33 of 46.

I don’t see it. Houston to their credit figured out how to contain the offense, great defense, and Warriors are old and don’t have another gear they can get to. Will be very surprised, but pleased of course.
