Aaron Bruski from NBC Sports joins the show every Friday to talk NBA hoops.
Klay Thomson has really been absent for this series and it has really been because of Trevor Ariza, who has played lockdown defense on him. Defensively Thompson has really struggled as well, especially vs Harden. During the regular season Klay could be counted on to help extend leads with a big 3-ball, but that has not been the case here vs the Rockets. Aaron feels that the Warriors really have to start running some offensive plays for Klay to get him going.
Teddy wonders what is wrong with the Warriors end game as they have had good leads late, but just haven't been able to put Houston away. Aaron feels that it is a combination of their defense breaking down and the turnovers. They must also get good shots. Aaron does feel that they will play better once they head to Houston.
Is Golden State the 4th best team of all time? Aaron does feel that they deserve to be mentioned with some of the all-time great teams. This is a great team offensively, but overlooked this year is how well they have played defensively and they do have allot of pieces to help that defense.
Aaron feels that both Irving and Carroll will not play tonight. He also states that he would really look at the Under in tonight's game. the teams put up 186 points in game 1 and he doesn't expect tonight to eclipse that number, especially if Irving is out.
In the other game Aaron feels that Houston will slow the pace in the game vs the Warriors, especially with their lack of depth and the fact that Howard is hobbled. He likes the under in that game as well.
