    Rockets should attack the paint at every possession. The Warriors interior has no protection.

    Already sacrificed Chris Paul's hamstring last year.

    Now comes THE SNAP.

    Just like that... half of the Warriors will be gone!

    Durant and Thompson will leave after losing to the Rockets.

    Lou Wouldn’t ever work out here the way he gets his O, but I want him to do well. Same to Bev and Montrezl.

    Good night, Clippers. You did far better than anyone could have reasonably expected. We will exact your revenge. Oakland is our meat.

    Now on to the 2nd round.

    Lou Williams was one of my favorite Rockets, but I remember distinctly how limited he would get when he wasnt getting calls. I know Harden is taken as the poster boy of getting calls, but he can still function and score without getting to the line. Lou, on the other hand, used free throws to build momentum for the rest of the game, after which he would get in a groove and hit threes, mid range shots, etc. It felt to me today that he never got those calls and because of that, never got in a groove. Late in the third he was still trying to drive in the lane and flounder around for fouls instead of straight up looking for his shot.

    Sad that they lost (was looking for this to go seven) but glad that we're up. Hopefully we fare better, but I think we all know that we're up against an all-time great team.

    I'm pretty certain most of those were off bad shots from Williams.

    I can't wait til Sunday. We need to come out game 1 and take care of business. Start out with a bang and hit them where it hurts most, right in front of their fans. Rested and ready. No excuses.
    Go Rockets!!

    Well I guess that’s why Lou Will is a 6th Man instead of a Star.

    Kinda hoped he would go off to force a game 7 but that’s just asking too much from him.

    Gallinari just as skilled as kahwi.

    The way gallinari went right back at Durant and green after Durant dunked on gallinari in game 3 was epic.

    I thought gallinari hurt himself on that play when gallinari dunked on green back in game 3.

    True. That's one thing we can't do is flounder for fouls, instead of straight up looking for our shots. Patience, focus, perseverance, and confidence in our shooting will take us all the way.

    Gallinari just as skilled as broke ankle kahwi.

    Gallinari just as skilled as "pick up shirt and leave kahwi"
