Warriors are blitzing Jalen and playing Sengun man up. Even when Sengun gets a guard matched up on him, they are playing him straight up.

They have decided they are NOT going to let Jalen beat them. If Sengun can't dominate one on one, the Rockets are done.

Also Ime is a terrible offensive coach. He's great at everything else. The Warriors adjusted to get Curry shots. Rockets aren't doing anything to get anyone shots.

Amen looks lost. Jabari should start. Even with all that, if the Rockets make shots, they can still win this, like you said.
I mean if at team makes shots they can win! That’s the name of the game…
 
What's Booker's history of closing games in the playoffs? I remember this nigga losing by 50 in a game seven. They can keep Booker. If I'm trading all those pieces, I need someone that actually plays well in the playoffs. Hell, for all that they could have just signed Harden lol.

Also, if GS decided to blitz Booker and get the ball out of his hands, you will still be in the same shape with this offense.
In close out games he average 28 BUT IN ELIMINATION GAMES he average 16.

End of the day the offense would need to run thru Sengun still... and then he pick his spots as needed

I agree that the rockets has more talent to get the job done but them playing sloppy like this isn't gonna win games.

They need to remain focus and block out the noise and keep thier composure.

The best way to shut green up is by beating them.

At least the rockets aren't down 0-3, but then again with the warriors not having butler out there is no excuse for the way the rockets have played last night.
Actually they don’t have more talent! They don’t have anyone who can consistently score: and they are young and unproven! And they don’t have a superstar! Hell they don’t have a consistent all star; they are good defensively and that’s it. I would take every team in the west playoffs, outside of maybe Memphis, over the rockets; barring injuries…

Stop.

Outside of Jimmy and Steph, no one on GS would even get minutes on the Rockets.

I belive had they played better, they would've won that game last night. That's was their only chance to steal a game with the warriors not having butler which they blew it.

So, when butler returns it's not gonna look good for the rockets.

The rockets do have enough talent to compete with the warriors though but they aren't DAWGS with their mental being weak.

Jimmy and Steph are superstars: and that’s what wins in the playoffs; again if rockets are a better team they should win right ? They not; they have no one on their team right now that’s a consistent all star! No one and that’s not going to cut it in the playoffs…

If Sengun was beating one on one coverage we would have won the last game.

They are playing bad for a reason though right lol? Teams play bad because the other team causes that! Sometimes it’s mental and unforced errors; most times it’s because the team that they are playing makes them play bad. People love to say well if they played better. Well if they could they would and they are playing bad because of the other team is putting pressure on them. Again rockets would not beat any other team in the west playoffs outside of maybe Memphis. Think about it…

You said MORE TALENT.

The Rockets are filled with top 5 draft talent. And once again, name the players not named Jimmy or Steph that would get minutes on the Rockets. Name them. I'll wait.

Step and Jimmy is more talented then the starters on the rockets. I don’t care about the top 5 shit when they ain’t performing. So those 2 combine or more talented then the rockets starters combine…
 
Ime should give Cam Whitmore some minutes. You know he's going to shoot lol. He might be hot.

Warriors fans do what they always do and talk shit. I'll be waiting to roast you niggas when you get bounced from the playoffs. LMAO. You have the best to players so you should beat every other team in the league correct?

I’m not talking shit. I’m stating facts. Rockets are a player(depending on player) or 2 away. Again no one would pick them to beat Lakers Minny OKC LAC or Denver because they can’t score. GS will probably lose to either Minnesota or OKC. I’m a realist, not a fan, big difference…

The way you're talking about the rockets, I would've swore they were down 0-3 because they're not being 1-2 which they have a chance to tie the seies. But let's stop acting like the warriors is so great like they can't be beaten. The warriors have more playoff experience playing in hostile environments but they aren't ironman.

Plenty of teams have played bad but that doesn't take away from the fact a team being good. The playoffs are more physical and fans are much louder with the intensity way higher of teams and players doing whatever it takes to win.

Bro what in my comments have said anything about GS being great? Please point it out. Now that’s what you are interpreting from a perspective that’s not there! Rockets can’t score and they would have problems scoring against any team because of their team! They don’t have a consistent scorer! They don’t have a superstar and that’s what wins in the playoffs period. And until they get that they will lose in the playoffs. What wins in the playoffs is all stars and superstars players. You guys act like it’s something that it’s not.
 


If they get Denver, easy pickings for them. Clippers would be the more competitive matchup. Denver will be gassed cuz the coach will play the starters 45 minutes a game cuz he can’t trust the wack ass bench. Clippers got more depth and a Kawhi that should be well rested regardless.
 
By whites and oreos such as yourself, Jokic.

Lets keep going tho..

Have you accepted Jokic will never win another title in his life and does that hurt?
Some players never win a title. Ask Reggie or Barkley or Malone or Dame or your lover CP or Iceman or Nash or Iverson or Butler or etc etc if one is enough!! Go ask Garnett or Dr J or Giannis or Dirk or West etc etc if winning one title invalidates them as great players …
