HOW…They HELD onto him like ROPE off OF a MOUNT EVEREST CLIFF and HACKED him like FIRE wood…That WASN'T great DEFENSE…That was EXTRAORDINARY fouling!!!
Rockets can't replicate this success lol.
The warriors glaze in the comments is crazy😭
It reminded me of Dellavedova’s suffocating defense against Curry during the Cavs-Warriors finals. The other Warriors should’ve stepped up.
The lack of consistent offensive threats outside of Steph make this method very effective
We will have curry in the ball more the next game we play the rockets
By fouling him the entire game
What really bothers me about this game is the refs. Steph is the only super star i know of who doesn't get the benefit of the whistle like so many others. My thing with this game is if the refs was going to allow them to be physical with Steph why be inconsistent when the Warriors tried to get physical? For me, personally I would of loved to see Jimmy Butler take the lead in a game like this. When KD was with the Warriors there was games he took over COMPLETELY. I've yet to see Jimmy do this. The one main thing that scares me with this team is also who is the team's third scorer? I honestly feel like it should be Kuminga but Podz was out playing him for a few games. Moody was playing great ball as well as GP2 but they both kinda dipped in the wrong direction. The Warriors have to use these remaining games to find their third scorer. As a Warriors fan with the playoffs approaching I'd love to see playoff Jimmy Butler for if only 1 of these remaining games headed into the playoffs because Houston has given the entire league the blueprint of how to FINALLY shut Steph down. I need to see the dawg in Jimmy who's going to refuse to let us lose. ✊
Warriors lost Thompson but Rockets gets Thompson
They cheated pure and simple Foul him, hold him, this is not the MMA!!!
Physicality is an excuse to cheat!!!! FU NBA
Butler doing Butler things. He'll say he'll turn it on in the playoffs – I hope he does. But when you are the de facto number 2, and your number 1 guy is getting hounded, it is literally on you to score and make aggressive plays. After all the shit he was talking and the way he was acting like he was this amazing generational talent, he really needs to be backing this up with effort and aggression.
Genius plan, knowing you can beat the crap out of Curry and no fouls will be called. Colluding with the refs?……lol
can you imagine if LeBron ever scored three points in a game? The media would crucify him.
Let's not forget the refs also handed the W to rockets in the tournament
Steph on ball playmaking 😂😂😂
Curry is my favorite player but I can't hate on the Rockets. They played real defense and did what you're supposed to do to lockdown a shooter.
I'm honestly don't think this would work in a series ik kerr gets hate but in a series he's too good at adjusting to teams doing this, jimmy I'm sure will be way more aggressive as well
Rockets defense was supurb. But Jimmy and Steph both had an iffy night. I dont see that happening consistantly. If Podz can also play how hes been playing id give warriors the edge.
lol they just fouled like crazy and got away with it, just sayin ain't rocket science lol
this is exactly why Klay is needed
7:16 “hope you guys enjoyed this video” no but only because we lost 😭 jk great vid 😅
Fred has always been good at guarding curry. I’m sure he also gave the team some tips from his Raptors days.
I think Jimmy Buttler should also step up, he's also an all star player
ITT: Warrior fans crying about refs when their golden boy puts up a stinker. 🧂
The man just carried against 3 playoff teams in 4 days. He was tired and they were fouling like crazy n the refs like always let em get away wit that shit. Normally curry woulda fought through it but again he was clearly tired.
Nice!
Refs aren’t paid to adjust, it’s simply follow the rules that have been made already. Adjusting is rule breaking essential
Its all sovled right!!? I swear YouTube creators think they know everything. It's nothing new, there are adjustments to it and it would not be a problem in the playoffs. WE HAVE OVER A DECADE OF EVIDENCE!
All of yall warriors fan boys crying about fouls is laughable and sore losers warriors and lakers are the worse fan bases in the league never can take accountability for a loss even your players don’t call it what it is acting like that draymond flagrant changed the game sengun missed the free throws and he should’ve been ejected before that
STUPID THEY DIDNT SHUT DOWN STEPH!!! THE REF SHUT DOWN STEPH NOT THE ROCKETS!!!
OFF BALL ON CURRY NOT WORKING SOMETIMES!!!
They just don’t know Steph about to go Master Ultra on these folks
Curry was just exhausted and tired, green was so disgusting
