Warriors starting very sloppily

Yeah, but they started sloppy Game 1 as well.

Harden and Durant look poised to have big games again today. For Houston, their role players are going to have to step up for them to win tonight.
I only caught the second half of Game 1.

But yeah, definitely agree. I know Ariza got in foul trouble Game 1, and he's probably their best defender of KD. If he can stay in and Eric Gordon hits his shots they are in the game

Yep. Capela is also going to have to do better than last game.

Why does Ed Molloy act in such an over the top manner whenever he makes a call? He's going to strain a muscle with the way he jumps around

LOL where are the folks that say Harden's defense has improved and is actually decent??

Despite what stats say, it still is HORRIBLE.

All you got to do is make a move and Harden just gets lost on defense. Or just run past him.  :P

Good start for the Rockets.

It's too bad Mbah a Moute is missing all these bunnies though. He's 0-9 so far this series and 6 of the misses have come from within 3 feet...  :o

0-3 tonight.

That's the difference between being up 6 now or being up double digits this game.

Credit to Houston, they are playing more team ball tonight and the passes have been real crisp.

Shots falling as well.

Still got to keep it up for a full 48 minutes if they want to win.

I hope Houston can do this. The Celtics could beat the Rockets in a 7 game series. Can't say the same about our chances if we face the Warriors though.

Come on man, lets not get cocky and assume we're already in the Finals lol.

Still a long way to go in the Celtics-Cavaliers series I assume. We definitely HAVE to try and steal a game AT Cleveland.

Hate to sound pessimistic, but Golden State would overwhelm us and win in 5.

Now if we played HOU... I think we actually got a chance to take them in 6.

Of course though, first got to win the Cleveland series! (Long way to go still)
