(2) Rockets vs. (7) Warriors First Round Playoff Series Thread

Jimmy Butler is reported to likely be playing tonight.

[QUOTE=Neal Romer;14995817]They can, altho I honestly will be surprised if they do.

I expect the Rockets will smell blood in the water with no Jimbo and they'll crank up the voltage even higher.

Warriors have no poise or toughness without Butler. I expect Curry to fold up like a ragdoll when the pressure starts to build, and Draymond will probably go the complete opposite direction and get himself ejected from at least one of the games.

Remember, the Warriors only win when they have that steady, consistent figure out on the wing. Iguodala. Durant. Wiggins. Butler.

With no JB they dont have that. Curry and Green are not getting the job done on their own. One is too soft, the other is too aggressive. They're an odd couple. They need that third guy tying them together.

The role players are gonna have to have huge nights to compensate, and I doubt that they will.[/QUOTE]

Finally got done watching the game. What an epic display from Steph.

:bowdown:

Hopefully, the rockets can even this later. But they would need sengun to dominate.

Don't forget gpii who only missed very few shots as well. :cheers:

If Hield is gonna be reliable defensively this series is a wrap.

Green barely restrained himself from kicking dude in the nuts. The refs can justify both kicking him out as well as not kicking him out. If he isn't tossed can he rein it in?

Green is always one to try to sell like he didn't mean to do something dirty.

Oh my bad, both my legs are laying across your back? Let me keep them there.

I love it though.

I like that they aren't tossing him out yet for the sake of watching a good game but he can't get any more slack and he has to realize that.

Yep!

I'm loving the Butler Brooks back and forth. Shit is brewing.

Butler would have gotten a flagrant but everyone hates Dillon Brooks.
What a terrible sequence by the Warriors to end the half.

Great response from the Rockets in the 2nd quarter.

I'm going to be watching the Butler/Brooks matchup the rest of the night with how much shit they're talking to each other.

Normal foul to me. If he hit him above the shoulders? Different story.
