    The way Curry has been shooting he needed to step in some honestly

    Still don't feel good about HOU

    The Warriors are playing like complete dog doo doo overall and the Rockets are barely winning

        I honestly can’t believe this series is tied up.. why GS waited until about 7 minutes left to start playing with any sense of urgency lost this one.. this looked like a sweep after game 2.

          Two outstanding looks there.

          The Warriors just didn't do a lot of the stuff under their control that could have won this game. Clearing the glass, finishing makeable shots, goofy turnovers.

          Regardless, I am not pleased with the result.

              Rockets got lucky there, that look for Durant was as open as a 24/7 McDonalds

                Good win for the Rockets at home. GSW tried...two great looks by the 2 best shooters to tie it up. Shots just didn't fall.

                  Say what you want about the aesthetics of Houstons gameplan but they've shown that it can be a bit grating on the Warriors rhythm two years in a row now. All the deliberate match up hunting and iso's takes the leagues best rotating defense out of the mix for multiple possessions..

                  Ain't pretty, but sets them up to try and steal the series...

                    If I am Kerr I am getting fined after this game. The calls tonight or lack of calls where a Joke. Refs favored Rockets big time tonight. Curry had 2 foul shoots and was getting not only fouled but hacked all night should have had like 18 foul shoots. With that said in the 4th quarter GS really had no business being that close and you have to wonder if that could care over to game 5 and Curry still cant hit 3 pointers but he did shoot better over all at 12-25 for 48%. Curry and Thompson have got to be better though. Right now KD is playing great but that is about it.

                          Thought Barkley was on-point during the postgame. The Warriors have always seemed to be at their best when they operate as a symphony of weaponry. Recently though, it almost seems as though they've been hamstrung a bit by going to Durant so much. Even if he's hitting, if it's sacrificing any semblance of flow for Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, that's still probably going to be a net negative.

                          That said, rumors suggest that opposing defenses also like to do their best to disrupt flow and make it difficult for the offensive teams to do things well, so that could be at play here too.

                            That's pretty much their gameplan to shoot AT LEAST 50 threes according to D'Antoni

                            Defense has definitely been over the shooters.

                            leaving Iggy open

                            Making Draymond take it off the dribble instead of create

                            Stopping Klay off of Floppy's and in general trying to either rush him or run him off the line.

                            Curry has been awful either way from outside this series.


                            Credit the defense but again

                            All of that and HOU barely won. Just sayin

                              If not for KD rockets would most likely be up 3-1 right now and it might even be 4-0 and over with when you look at how Curry and Thompson are playing. I am getting more convinced that who ever comes out of the east is going to win the championship this year.

                                Yeah I think it is some of Rockets and some of GS. I saw some stats about like Curry earlier today and his shoot % from like 30+ feet and also more big on shoots where the defender is 5+ feet away so like wide open and the difference is crazy. He is just missing a lot of shoots he normally makes. The long the round goes with out him really going off the more you got to think he will go off. Also Harden has had 2 good games in a row and a lot of times he sucks in the playoffs. I am still expecting him to have another game where he goes like 7-25 or something.
