    In keeping with bored tradition, I'm going to knee jerk react and say Warriors in 4.

    Chris Paul the God isn't as good as he looked against Jazz 3rd string? Shocked.

    I think it really be done in 4 or 5.

    5 is generous.

    No team that starts PJ Tucker is going to beat the Warriors in a best of 7.

    Might as well start Chris Paul’s Mexican State Farm agent.

    Rockets need to unleash Capela in the 2nd half, P&R was non existent

    It doesn't work as well when Draymond is guarding Capela and can easily switch off onto the original pick and roll and Capela isn't allowed to roll freely
    Capela will never beat Golden State. Only Paul, Harden and Gordon can. Tonight one of them went off. They will need all 3 to win.

    It still fucking works.
    Go ahead and tell yourself that ... Capela was largely a non-factor tonight.

    Houston's going to be doing well to win 1 game in this series. 2 games is their ceiling.

    Combined Harden and Paul scored 64. If you include Gordon they scored 79 points. How much more do you realistically expect out of them?

    Tucker and Mbah a Moute are worthless in this series. Ariza is blah. Where else is Houston going to get buckets from?

    Now, if you put LBJ on Houston, I may be interested in talking about a series. But their 3 and D players more or less suck in relation to the Warriors.

    Mbah a Moute was pretty terrible tonight. Missed about 4 gimmies at the rim.

    Very true ... and the Harden + CP3 + Gordon combo shot 50%. Shift some of those shots around and it probably evens out.

    The problems that Houston has in this series aren't on the offensive end in the grand scheme of things ... it's that they can't guard Golden State and it forces their offense to have to outscore the Warriors.

    The only Warrior to not shoot 50% or better tonight was Draymond and he only took 5 shots. When EVERYBODY is shooting 50% or better from the field that tells you that the defensive issues are systematic and not contained to just one guy having a hot night. What the Warriors did tonight is largely sustainable.
