didnt say you did. the game is important of course but if for whatever reason if they drop game 3 and get game 4 then hou still put themselves in position as if the series just started and it becomes a best of 3 with 2 at home.
It's not a must win. But it would give the Rockets a huge psychological edge. Especially if Curry has another subpar performance. The Warriors would be sweating bullets heading into Game 4.
Ok. I’m just saying in all the years I’ve watched basketball.....games 3’s can reveal the most on the two combatants on the court.
Yes, Let’s Kick Warrior butts......let’s do it for ballscientist1. In post #12 I explained myself as to the rationale. Just my preference. @YOLO responded before I could elaborate/edit. My fault, I should have held up on posting before explained myself. I would ask others to read my post #12 before @‘ing me. Lol.
If the Rockets lost the game 3, that would mean they have to win three in the last 4 games. The pressure would be mounting sky high. So it essentially IS a must game 3.
No, if there is anything such as a "Must win" that's not a possible series ending game, then it was game two. We just have to split in the next two games. If we win one, could care less if it's the next game or the 4th.
I’ll save everyone the trouble of creating a “Game X is a must win scenario” after every game. Games 1-7 of the series are must win scenarios.
Pretty much this, the split is all that matters. Once it is 2-2...then game 5 becomes the pivotal one. Of course though winning game 3 would be amazing because it gives the Rockets to win 4 and close it out at home. We at least shifted the pressure on them to win the next 2 games.
