    As bad as we look, the Curry fall down and push Brooks (I think) and get a foul called on the rockets is hilariously pathetic. Get better.


    Having said that, we look like little b****es out there. Get mean and aggressive. Make the refs call fouls

    So....we played well for 5min.

    Imagine if we played well for 10min.

    15min.

    20min.

    1. Make your layups
    2. Stop losing the ball on the dribble
    3. Keep up the rebounding and defensive intensity

    The Rockets held the Warriors to 47 first half points. That’s really good. The Rockets having 34 points at halftime is pathetic.

    One "star" showed up big time in the 1st half, the other was the worst player on the floor.
    Needless to say, if Jalen lays another giant stink bomb in the 2nd half, Rockets have no chance to win.

    Both of the legit stars on the Warriors showed up and delivered.

    I'm not surprised the Warriors defense junked up the Rockets offense, but the favor must be returned.

    Still 24 minutes to go.

    This was never going to be easy, Warriors also tend to give up leads. We just have to play better, our guards have to play better.

    Sengun, great job.

    It’s the Warriors. This always happens.

    Jalen has the best plus minus and the worst shooting efficiency lmao.

    Hasnt had an "easy" look yet.

    The rotations have been a bit wild so far and it seems like Kerr had a strat against the double big to start the 2nd where we lost the lead and fell behind.

    Refs are just terrible but thats par for the course tbh.

    Sengun had looked awesome.

    Amen has been jekyl and hyde. Defense is good but the offense has been gross. Gotta make FTs.

    Five players at or under 33.3% shooting

    Only Alpi and Dillon actually showed up to play so far tonight.

    I think we can get this close again in the third quarter, but the execution has been miserable so far on offense. Defense was fine until the last few minutes--I don't mind the semi-contested layups we let Curry have early on, but he's started to get open from three and that's going to end us if it keeps going.

    Lock in and get this within a couple possessions by the time we hit the 4th.

    Played slow and conservative - Warriors packing paint making Amen useless - we run no plays to get Bari or Dillion catch and shoot shots

    FVV keeps dribbling into paint and just eating up clock

    Ime has to play Cam over Amen if Warriors stay in paint

    JG has to get it going, but going to be rough they shading help his way on drives

    It's not great offense to just let Jalen go 1 v1 into a stacked paint. He had some rim outs but that's just garbage offense

    Welcome to school young Rockets. This ain’t the reg. Better learn how to score out of the half court offense or this series will be curtains quick

    34 points at the half? That’s crazy. We need to start the 3rd hot or suffer the consequences.

    13-point deficit is a mountain in a low-scoring game. Golden State's defense has been great.

    Ime needs to get more movement with the offense. plus get Sengun involved more.

    Most of Green's shots have been forced.

    Is Jabari playing??
