Cmon peep. Don’t even fron like the rockets weren’t getting into their sets waaay quicker than game 1 and making the extra/right passes, moving without the ball and playing with more force etc in game 2.

Yes...the national media over-reacted a bit to their criticism of “iso Ball” in game one because they didn’t really understand how the rockets played.....but they also played poorly and played extreme iso ball to a detriment in game one.

This game was def an adjustment and looked much more like the high octane scary rockets team. Not the caricature of itself that was game 1.

Feels like you quoted the wrong person

Rockets had 45 iso plays in game 1.....and 46 iso plays in game 2.....

i don't blame any warriors fan for being overconfident. they got 4 HOFers in their prime. but all these excuses and false narratives are just ignorant and annoying

The same way Bron fans make it hard for his detractors to acknowledge and respect his accomplishments, GSW haters make it hard to acknowledge and respect their opponents. They (Lebby and GSW) are both the best of their generation but haters make it so you have to love or hate them which leads to vapid takes completely devoid of rationality from both sides.

It’s all one ghetto, man.
 
Is PJ tucker going to go broke buying all these expensive shoes and jewelry?

PJ is N.B.A for real.

Never
Broke
Again

PJ look like he be getting them P’s through from Cali/Denver to TX on the actual Rockets PJ’s.

Once he retire....I’m giving him some Zay Beats and a grow house.

Rockets are tougher physically.
They match up well.
Can score with GSW.
IF they can believe and stay on TOP mentally, and I mean on TOP not Beside...I believe they can win this.
They have to believe it.
They have to KNOW they can win, talent isn't enough against GSW(as OKC w/KD proved when they blew it)
 
PJ TUcker just has to be better than IGGY and it's a wrap.
gordon playing this level is also a huge factor... this is the 6MOY gordon rockets fans expect. he can't continue to struggle shooting like he has in the playoffs. if he's matching klay, then that's a HUGE advantage in our favor. so far they're basically even this series. each has had a good and bad game (though gordon was getting it going late in game 1).

klay is obviously better but we not gonna act like gordon can't produce 30 on any given night.

With Harden and CP3 on the floor Gordon/Ariza just have to get good shots off(make or miss)
I think if they can do that it keeps Harden and CP open much easier.

He just has to look like he knows what he's doing, and if he's actually making them well...all the more Great.
 
There's a guy named "moe"something on there.
.....but it's just the chat section of RotoGrinders which is a site for DFS players.
Pretty dope to discuss some strategy and other DFS related info.

Right on bro, good lookin out. i play season long fantasy due to DFS seemingly like too much of a commitment for me, but may have to check out RG chat
 
Rockets defense and effort is what stood out to me. PJ obviously had a career game, but he's been perfect for Houston all year. He takes like almost 40% of his 3's from the corner and makes 40% of those. Trevor not being in foul trouble was huge as well.

But to me a huge storyline is CP being better than steph through two games. That's a big deal. If that continues (I don't think it will. Steph is due, primarily because I don't think he's hurt) then that changes the entire outlook on this series. Rox can win the series with GOAT KD / average steph. They can't if Steph goes brazy, which I think he will.
 
I'm not sure why anyone is surprised that the Rockets won Game 2. It was a must-win game for them and the role players showed up last night.

The Warriors did what they had to do, leave Houston with a split and now we'll see if the Rockets can win in The Town.

So now you’re saying Houston has a chance?

Sure they have a chance if steph plays like this. No chance if steph turns into MVP steph again.

Steph will play better though, much better. And the warriors will win because of it.
