And about all the other GSW games against rockets ? Why just use one where GSW came from 3 complex games after Memphis , lakers and Denver
As a Warriors fans imma be straight up, we’re not a championship team. We may escape the Rocket limping. But everyone outside of Steph Jimmy Draymond, is not championship level players. Podz Moody had a nice steak but that’s it.
The funniest thing about this idea about Houston vs GS is that Steph had 3 points and Jimmy had 13 and they only lost by 10 (13 when the starters left). Steph is not going to play decoy for a series and Jimmy is not going to be contained. GS doesn't have 20 TOs, it's an easy win.
‘let it drag on more than 5 games…😂 speaking as if these crybabies are the 2 seed
I agree with your analysis. I hope Kerr is not too stubborn and plays Kuminga. Warriors were 3-2 vs the Rockets this year and Kuminga was their leading scorer with 21pts a game.
If they call fouls Warriors win, if not Rockets win!
Warriors have played good for 2 "playoff" games already, Rockets blown out last 3 games, lets see who's ready Sunday!
This dude talking about the rockets like they're the 04 pistons worry about your King LeBron
Playoff Jimmy and explosive Steph plus tye support cast. And championship experience. The formula for GSW to win. So long as Kerr will not mess up the rotation and the refs will be half correct in their calls, the warriors will be fine😅
That's fine. As long as it ain't Steph!
if only Buddy could not throw up bricks in critical moments. Imagine the Warriors had a #3 like Bane….wow that guy was buckets last night!
This guy dogs Steph whenever he has a chance but sure af uses him for clicks.
Warriors in 5 or 6 since they can put 8 players on court while houston only have 5.
It will be huge difference.
That's what I learned in G7 of 2018 west final
Refs are favorites to win this matchup 😂
Keep it real Jason. A lot of really bad calls towards Warriors and it looks like the refs wanted them out of the playoffs. Keep it real
Hopefully we get to play defense like the Rockets and Memphis without calls too
Steph played a great game against Hoiston with 3 point. He was getting globbered and Jimmy did nothing. Hopefully he was analyzing what he can do in the series. Who knows.
You MEAN how the REFS handle the ROCKETS bear HUGGING and HOLDING is KEY to this SERIES!!!
rockets in 6.
I hope the refs will not manipulate the foul calling against Steph Curry,,
Give them some days off, and 2 days between games and they will
Be good.
Steph and jimmy gonna Put jalen green, sengun in action.
The way they failed to call the grabbing onto Steph was atrocious.
Houston is way more physical than GSW. Houston in 5!
This series is simple. Key is Steve Kerr.
Is he going to play small ball and run his motion offense? Series will be long and hope Steph/Butler gets you out of this series. If they do, they'd be all beaten up and worn and gets bounced in the 2nd round by the Lakers.
Or run Terry Stotts offense and play big (Curry, Butler, Kuminga, Green, TJD/Looney) and spam the pick-n-roll and make Sengun a traffic cone guarding Steph…only reason Kuminga is not viable is he isn't built for the motion offense and Kerr wants him at the 4 where Butler is already playing..if they run simple offense and not make it complicated this series may be over in 5 games.
Warriors have shown they can beat Houston without Curry/Green and ran the pick-n-roll against them..
