    Grizzlies slowed them down twice.

    limiting Klay Thompson and their transition offense is key.

    Curry is going to get his no matter what.

    Weren't the Clippers just a fraction better than the Warriors? The real difference is the Warriors' defense is superior to the Clippers. Plus they have more depth.

    Sorry, but GS was down 2-1 against the Grizzlies last series. They absolutely have been tested.

    It amazes me how these national pundits have not done their homework. They keep spewing that we lost 0-4 in the regular season without even mentioning Dwight missed two games and wasn't full strength in the other two.

    I saw another that said Bogut will equalize Howard. Seriously?! Didn't Howard just outplay one of the best big man in the league?!

    I'm not saying the Rockets are winning the series, but the national pundits need to earn their paycheck and act a little more than a casual fan.

    simple. if we can win the rebounding battle, especially on the offensive end, we have a fair chance to win.

    need to shoot the ball well, too. that'd take away their scoring in transition.

    Going to be a tough one. That Oracle crowd is ridiculous. One can wish for a great and flawless start from the Rockets, but I pray for a miracle tonight.

    Rockets win

    Warriors 109

    I hope the Rockets play with pride. There's no shame in playing your heart out and losing to a 67 win team.

    Watched all the games last time we played in a Western Conference Finals. I've missed this so much. It's already a huge accomplishment for the team this season and i pray to God that we pull off a historic upset! Go Rockets!!!

    Technically the Spurs were 3-0 vs the Nuggets in 1995. But the parallels are still very strong between 1995's playoff run and this one.

    After getting all worked up about Mauer & Brothers, aka "the tag-team of death", picked to call game 7, I no longer care who the officials are.
