Way to show these Rockets how it's done. They've got a future ahead of them, but they're playing some dawgs that have done it many times in this series. Could be a rough one for Houston.

Houston has to force the tempo. If they’re gonna let GS dictate pace like they did tonight they can’t beat em.

“Warriors just own Houston.”

So how you trying to blame refs when they let Houston play football all night? Houston got dog walked and if GS doesn’t have a brain stroke in the 3rd that’s a real beat down. Houston did everything wrong, they don’t look like they’re ready to play a playoff series against a team like GS.

Houston was getting fouled repeatedly in the paint

And the refs gave every 50/50 ball or call to the Warriors.

Houston was bigger so they got more rebounds. It didn’t matter much bc they couldn’t shoot and they got hacked repeatedly under the basket.

I don't think any of us watched the same game as you did.

Well that’s not what happened so whether you admit it or not you’re cheering for Houston instead of calling balls and strikes.

8:30 central tip-off for the Rockets is later than any regular season start time at home That’s 6:30 pacific time, which benefited GSW. So, those inexperienced players sat around all day to satisfy west coast fans?

How did playing the last game of the slate negatively affect the "inexperienced players"? Houston came out on fire to start the game, and their crowd was hyped the whole night.

What a strange argument.

The Rockets problem is nothing new, they don't have shooters. Sheppard has shown flashes but he's not ready for prime time.

Even with their defense it's going to be a quick series if they can't figure out ways to manufacture points in the half court other than Sengun.

Find someone that holds you like the Rockets hold Steph.

You can find still images like that for every player on the court. It's playoff basketball. And it's hard to believe Warriors fans crying about the refs when the refs let Steph and Klay get wide open by the most blatant moving screens I've ever seen in my life. Over and over again for years.

Or you could try watching the games. "Every player on the court" doesn't require this sort of strategy to be stopped. It's literally Houston's gameplan to hold Curry and hope it's not called, which it never is, and he still cooked them.

I understand that this man has tortured your fanbase his whole career, so I don't blame you for ignoring the obvious.

no one was crying about the refs until a Houston fan posing as a Pelicans fan started complaining about the Warriors fouling Houston and getting away with it. The only reason the images were posted was a direct response to someone saying the refs favored the Warriors.
