    If we have What it takes to Contain Curry, and Durant. We could let Klay have a lot of the open shots. He's had bad shooting nights before. But i think it gonna be where the rockets will have to keep Curry from Screening those obscure 3pt shots, and to have Ariza Contain Durant. We have to switch off with Moute and Pj Tucker will have to even double team Durant and or run after Curry outside. Its gonna be one heck of a series, but i think this is not about

    WHO Has the best Offense. Who can score 3's or run the best. Houston will have to contain the warriors to win. I just hope Jeff is prepared. Capela for sure will be key defensively more than offensively down low, but if this just becomes a 3pt fiesta, or a shooting series. I dont think this outcome will be great for rockets.

    Scoring more points than the Warriors in 4 of 7 games will be what gets us past the Warriors

    In all seriousness we can't get past the Warriors playing well on just one side of the ball. We're going to need to be locked in on both sides. Make it as physically tough on Curry and Durant so they're worn down late in games. Luc will need to hit more threes. I think we will need Anderson this series, but I worry what he can provide given his lack of PT.

    We could let Klay have a bunch of open shots? Huh? Iggy and Draymond will be the ones getting open shots. U can’t let Klay have a ton of good looks.

    No, u don’t give 1 of the best shooters in NBA history open shots, u give much lesser shooters in Dray and Iggy open shots. I can assure u that giving Klay open shots will not be a strategy that the coaching staff will ever use. U live with Dray and Iggy taking those shots.

    No

    The Warriors scoring less points than the Rockets in 4 of 7 will be what gets us past the Warriors.
