    Who are the broadcasters? I didn't realize this was still TNT, I thought it moved to ESPN/ABC for Conference Finals.
    Looks like Mark and JVG are getting the Boston series, so we get Team B again for any games that are ESPN/ABC.

    I'm kinda with Stephen A on this one. I honestly have no idea what to expect tonight. Even the Foster Brothers screwjob officiating crew could be there to F over the Rockets or Warriors(or possibly both).

    But I do maintain that this is a must win for the Rockets. Yes, they can recover from a Game 1 loss, but the odds of winning 4 out of 6 against this Warriors bunch(including one in Oracle) would be damn near impossible.

    the rockets are going to have to prove they can win atleast 1 in oracle if they're a true championship team. expecting to just win all 4 at home is not ideally realistic

    Not that I know of. Probably more Golden State fans here than Rockets fans. Should be easy to find a good place to watch the game though.

    I could get ballsy and go to a GSW bar and be that ahole. Probably too risky given they have a good chance of winning and I don’t want to see them glote.

    Heard about this in a couple of podcasts but I think a huge key in this game is for us when we are on offense to really finish at the rim or have some of our corner shooters sprint back in transition. When we have somebody iso at the top, with clint down low, and two shooters at the wing it really leaves our defense exposed if james/chris drives to the hole. That makes it 4 out of the five guys are behind the free throw line when a rebound is occurring. We saw it in the Jazz series how they killed us in transition for a team that does not even like to run. With the warriors this could be game over if we let this happen. We need to either finish at the rim better or just have our corner shooters immediately run back once somebody puts up a shot down low. What do yall think about this?

    Ugh, at least we got C Web, I can handle him. Reggie is just too goofy.

    Will be watching on mute. Sirius XM's NBA channel 86 will be free for a few days so I may try to sync up good ol' Ackerman with the TV broadcast.
