    Once again, Coach Nick (and everyone else) offer suggestions on how to beat the Rockets. The Rockets are the underdogs for goodness sake. Where are the videos on how to beat the Warriors?

    Coach NIck made a video after the game 1 loss with no suggestion on how to beat the Warriors, just how futile it is to try and stop them.

    You've been caught in a teen drama.

    Warriors are like the ideal and popular rich girl with groupies to spread nasty rumors.

    Rockets elbows too pointy and those geek glasses for studying data are hot garbage.

    Championship is prom night.

    We went into our **** much faster and had more player movement.

    Harden still bogged us down at times though.

    His BBall Breakdown podcast was basically him and his partner disregarding the win as an outlier. The partner even went so far as to say he wasn't willing to admit he was wrong predicting a sweep as long as GS wins in 5. They also alluded to the refs not calling anything at the rim for GS, implying that we got away with a lot of fouling. I was pretty put off by the whole podcast. Coach Nick was better than his partner because at least he was giving the Rockets some credit on doing things right (and he predicted a 7 game series), but the other guy was an Andrew Sharp wanna-be.

    I love teen angst-y movies. The underdogs usually win.

    Would anyone like to make the case that Games 1 and 2 are actually a continuum, and that although targeting Curry all the time may have cost us Game 1, it eventually paid off a couple of days later in Game 2?

    I would really like to believe this, because presumably the effects will be cumulative of the course of the series.

    I think they targeted Curry on defense as much as they can. Curry was not a big factor in both games on offense. They difference is that in Game 2 Rockets get to the offensive sets much quicker and guys were moving much more. That resulted better offense, which translates to easier job on the defense as well.

    I guess the G3 emphasis for Curr in team video sessions will be to not put Baby in the Corner and help him out.
