Okay okay, Hakeem wasn't cloned but he was at game 5 courtside, haha. And Thompson matched a unique Olajuwon playoff stat line. I hope he's at game 7 too, and Houston finally closes their window!
Actually, this series will be over for both team. I hope Rockets will be the ones who start a new one afterwards.
Congrats on staying optimistic and maintaining positive thoughts! Hopefully we finish the job in game 7. Either way, it’s nice to know that we didn’t give up and loss in 5. But I would really hate losing a series vs. Warriors again in our home, so f*** it, we must win it in game 7!
Take care of business protecting the home court on Sunday and we become the only team in history to come back for 3-1 deficits 3 times. Funny thing is they are all with completely different rosters and coaches.
Kerr pretty much played Curry the entire second half of G6 (until the game was out of reach). He usually rests him for the first 5-6 minutes of the fourth, but this time he went for the knockout punch right at the start. It was an adjustment that backfired - Curry just didn’t have much left in the tank for a comeback, like he usually does. Curry: 42 mins Butler: 42 mins FVV: 40 mins No other player logged more than 39 minutes. Game 7: Sunday, 7:30 PM. Just one day of rest. They’re the more experienced team, but with the short turnaround and the heavy minutes played... advantage: the young team.
I don't think we should use the "heart of a champion" thing in this situation. The context of RudyT's words was after our second consecutive championship when we had already been champion. This Rockets team has not even been in the playoffs before this series. This is more like beating the Clippers in 2015.
Get the W then let them play rock, paper, scissors to see who gets to kick Draymond in the nuts at the end.
