Bad defense and bad turnovers.. This isn't good.

Problem is the defense. Defense has been the worst it has been all playoffs conceding 39 in one quarter.

The elephant everyone has failed to address is rebounding has been very poor on the D and KD has been particularly bad in every aspect in this game.
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 2:40am On May 27, 2018
Our defense is awful and Houston ate surely gonna shoot at many 3s as possible.. We gotta play good perimeter defense, take care of the ball and play Warriors basketball. We've done absolutely nothing like this so far. Recipe for going home.

Yeah! KD started really slow but I'm sure he'll figure it out. Most importantly, we have to really play that defense.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:46am On May 27, 2018
Curry’s shots are air balling. He needs to take a second before shooting. I am happy with the ball movement and PnRs.

You can’t take nothing away from Rockets who have shot so well. I think we are getting some shots that we want but just not hitting. It is encouraging.

48-39 Rockets lead.

It was Defense that was worrying me. But I think it was strategic. I guess they did not want to expend themselves in the first Q like they did In game 4. The D has intensified a bit which is encouraging. More of it slowly. We don’t need to fix everything in one Q.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:55am On May 27, 2018
Curry is now the one playing rubbish. He is decent in Defence but zero offensive output. KD has improved but his missing free throws are a bit disconcerting.

52-45 Rockets lead.

They needs to start hitting their shots though. Curry and Klay missing so many 3s

At some point they will. It is the Defence that needs to keep at it. If Rockets launch as many as 50 3s (which is their plan) they can steal this game.

Reggie Miller took the words out of my mouth. The Warriors can consult Zaza for that foul.

Houston weathering the storm, championship DNA showing through. Cant wait until they deliver this ring to the King.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:06am On May 27, 2018
61-51 Rockets lead. End of the 2nd.

Couple huge 3s but KD and Curry missed some wide open 2s.

It has been a great shooting night for Rockets.

11/22 from 3.
Re: The NBA Begins by Manutd19: 3:07am On May 27, 2018
Sad to see Curry struggling with his shots (especially 3s) in this series. I said before the series Rockets would hurt the warriors with their 3s but didn't know it would be this bad for Curry
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:08am On May 27, 2018
Eat away at the lead gradually. Don’t try to do it all once.

The only slight issue is easy misses by KD (shots he usually makes) and Steph from 3. Houston have weathered the storm through insane shooting.

If they sustain it, they steal the game. Can they?

I hope not.

This is the best the Rockets have shot the 3 all series long. They were 13/43 last game. They are 11/22 today.

It is the reason they are ahead by 10 apart from the FT disparity.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:15am On May 27, 2018
Just had a wet dream about a cavs rockets match up.

George hill guarding CP3.

JR guarding Harden.

Love drawing capela out to the 3 point line.

Lebron destroying houston.

Lefourth ring. cheesy
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:22am On May 27, 2018
GSW is 5/19 from 3 compared to Rockets 11/22.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:23am On May 27, 2018
Warriors now 6/20.

Draymond Green and T/Os though. He should calm down.

61-59 Rockets lead.

Whats with these dumb turnovers houston?

It's not safe watching this game all alone.. cry
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:36am On May 27, 2018
If you see something good you acknowledge it.

Harden has been unreal in this game.

Curry’s 3s keep rolling down and coming out.

Shots should sink.

KD keeps ISOing those 3s. We don’t need to rush it. I prefer a surer 2.

Rockets are 13/28 from 3. This is unreal.

74-70 Rockets lead.

The Warriors are alive but are living dangerously because they have failed to put some space between them and the Rockets. When the final minutes of the 4th comes, it would come down to the team with better ISO players. Without CP3, the Warriors have an edge.

Harden definitely has been unreal.. We have to do our job.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:43am On May 27, 2018
I wish Curry will never rush to hit any 3s. Just gain small separation. Hesitate and jump or use PnR.

You are the greatest shooter alive.
