    Y'all really think you could hang with the Warriors? They were toying with you and would have beaten the Rockets by 30 if they kept the small ball but Kerr showed mercy.

    Warriors in 4.

    We will be alright. Don't think Warriors are tougher than the Clippers for us.

    Yeah, they played at a level that can hang with the Warriors. The Warriors didn't impress me. They just shoot really well. If the Rockets continue to bring what they did tonight, with a few adjustments and MUCH less Terrence Jones, they can actually win this series. I'm disappointed in the loss, but not angry like I usually would be. This game was a hopeful sign that Rockets have learned a LOT from the Clippers series.

    I could make a strong case that they were the cause of this loss. They were both terrible.

    I really think Dwight will be fine with some rest. With a healthy Dwight, Rockets would have dismantled the Warriors. Even Capela was feasting. I was happy with the Rockets fight. Harden played great.

    Refs swallowing their whistles and Dwight injury essentially cost them the game tonight. Without Dwight, GS got a bunch of 2nd chance opportunities.

    Definitely hoping that Dwight's injury isn't serious, but it's looking like we'll be seeing the pre-playoffs Dwight again this series (if he's able to play).

    Warriors played their typical game. We took their best shot but beat ourselves. Still confident.

    He was brutal tonight around the basket. He's had some great moments in the playoffs for the Rockets, but he's had just as many games where he disappeared. He's only 23, so he could improve, but I have a feeling we may never find out after this offseason.

    We can't make the mistakes we made in the 4th (Josh Douche Bag Smith looking at you buddy, for as well as you played in the final 2 Clips games you were pretty stupid again in the 4th in this game) against this Warriors team that we got away with in the Clips games we won.

    The refs were utter ****ing garbage on that Green no call he may have been falling but holding Ariza on the ground like that IS NOT a god damn basketball play and how they looked at that and did not assess a foul is egregious and I bet we get a back handed sorry when Silver says that "should have been called a foul". NBA is ****ing rigged no question about it to me...

    Warriors are so overrated. All they can do is shoot threes. Clippers were more of a threat with Jordan dominating Howard, Chris Paul who is better than Curry, and Griffin who is better than Green. We still beat the Clippers.

    Had Dwert been there in the second half. We might have kicked their ass already.
