Richard Jefferson is spot on. What a valiant road effort by this young Houston team facing elimination. They were balling especially the 4th.

Lol Denver has a stressful day ahead. Not just the Nuggets, but their hockey team (Avalanche) also have a Game 7 that night

Game 7. In Houston. Steve Kerr and Steph Curry about to blow another 3-1 series lead and will never hear the end of it.

Momentum goes to Rockets.

It's great to see good 'ol Ime Udoka outcoaching Steve Kerr. He's getting his revenge there.

I get no joy seeing Udoka have success. Not that wish him ill necessarily but he?s not a Celtic and he self-sabotaged his brief time here.  I?m not a fan of GSW either, but the only team I feel vengeful toward is LAL.

Remind me, which team was the second seed and which one is the play-in squad?

S Adams and the double big lineup have changed this series.

Kerr keeps picking Q Post against it and he cannot matchup physically with either S Adams or Sengun. Q Post cannot play effectively against this lineup. Looney can but Kerr won't play him. Kerr is killing his own team.

Don't matter. You have championship-pedigree guys in Curry, Draymond, Butler, and Steve Kerr you should be able to close them out while being up 3-1. The Warriors played exceptionally well after making that trade for Jimmy Butler. They had like a 20-5 record or something?

If Curry and the Warriors blow another 3-1 lead then there will definitely be a conversation. And no, I could care less that HOU was the 2 seed. You had a 3-1 lead and all this talent + championship experience including the coach. They warrant similar criticism. If people want to entertain the Lebron vs. Curry discussion (which I say Lebron still btw regardless), then it's only fair IF Curry and GSW blows this 3-1 lead.

Kerr went with this group down the stretch

G: Steph
G: Podz
F: Buddy
F: Jimmy
C: Draymond

GSW was struggling with Houston's double big lineup. How is this group going to defend? How are they going to rebound? There is no size on the perimeter. Jimmy has his hands full with Sengun. Your Sengun stopper, Jimmy, has to defend S Adams. Nobody else there can box out S Adams.

Houston's zone defense was causing them problems. Looks like Kerr went with his most offensive lineup to try and solve it. Did not work.

3PTA = Podz 2-4. Buddy 0-4. Jimmy 1-6. Draymond 1-4. Steph 6-16.

Blowing 3-1 leads is what Doc does

I just wish Udoka figured this out in 2022 when we had Timelord, Horford, and Theis. Just muscle and do damage in the paint and protect the rim.

There a reason Kuminga never plays?? Idk, it's not like the other bench guys are doing much either, and I actually think Kuminga could still help them combat the size a bit since he's 6' 8"
