Warriors vs. Rockets Preview NBA Playoffs Round 1: Prediction, Analysis, Keys To Victory

Golden State Warriors News Today comes with a Rockets vs. Warriors preview for the first round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs.

Stephen Curry highlights will be needed. Jimmy Butler highlights will be needed. Even Jonathan Kuminga highlights may very well be needed. Luckily no Warriors injury news to discuss on todayโ€™s show, so Golden State heads into this Rockets vs. Warriors playoff series healthy. Warriors Today host Tyler Smith breaks down all the latest Warriors rumors heading into the Warriors vs. Rockets series as well as brings you his keys to victory for Golden State and gives a Rockets vs. Warriors prediction to close out todayโ€™s Golden State Warriors YouTube video.

  1. People keep forgetting that when Steph had only 3 points, that warriors team just got done playing 4 games in one week and ended it on a back to back,โ€ฆ. They were exhausted!!!! Period!!!! The rocketโ€™s field percentage as a team shooting is at the bottom of the league!!!! Iโ€™ll take the best shooting team ever!!! Go warriors!!!!!

  2. Its simple. Kerr is counting on small ball outscoring the Rockets while conceding offensive/defensive rebounds. Only work if Podz, Heald, Moody start to contribute as the third scorer. Bad news! They haven't. The last 3 games, Curry and Butler helped give them a big lead but the three amigos were unable to pick up the slack. When those three were on the floor with the big lead, they couldn't make a basket and their opponents were able to slowly crept back. They attacked the rim unmolested. That's why Kerr's strategy aint gonna worked. When those three are struggling, he should bench them immediately and bring in the big bodies like Jackson and Santos with Curry or Butler out there directing the offense. If those three guys are not scoring and they not able to defend the rim, then at least we can still defend the rim with the big bodies and trust Playoff Jimmy to make the right pass or scored himself.

  3. Warriors in 5 or 6 Rockets not going to be truly ready for what's about to happen to them in this series…. Go Dubs ๐Ÿ’› ๐Ÿ’™

  4. For this series, draymond is too slow, he should come off the bench. Moody, post, curry, kuminga, and butler should get the most minutes. They have spacing, size, playmaker, and slashers.

  5. We have never lost to the Rockets in a 7 game series, and this is the weakest version of them we have ever faced, Dubs in 6
