HUGE game here. The winner is going to obviously be one victory away from a ticket to the finals. To me personally it boils down in the end here to who do you trust more? Well for yours truly it is Golden State. We did cash with the Rockets and under last game but frankly I was not expecting the outright. If I had I would have bitten at the juicy money line. I just thought the number was too steep. Glad we won and credit where due to the Rockets for winning a big game at the Oracle. Clearly a daunting task. But to me a little reality check is needed here. Golden State missed a sick 15 of their last 18 shots. Now we deal in odds here on a daily basis. I wonder myself what the odds would be for that happening. A veteran squad with a deadly array of snipers and they sink 3 of their last 18 shots at crunch time. My friends that is twilight zone material there. I have to believe we will have a very, very pissed off Warriors club taking the floor here. And as for the trust thing I mentioned at the outset, I admit I still have a hard time trusting the Rockets to come up big here against what has to figure to be a Warriors team focused and dialed into throwing everything they have under the hood at Houston. Sounds like both Iggy and Thompson will be good to go. Thompson apparently went through practice with flying colors. Houston's style of play has clearly shortened Kerr's bench so the key actors here in this drama need to #1 stay out of foul trouble #2 stay healthy. Literally impossible to predict either of those two things. I see the Warriors playing a great game here bouncing back off that blown lead at home last time out. Hard to envision Houston beating this team two straight, at home or not. When hitting on all cylinders this Warriors team is heads and shoulders the best team in the league. Watch for the ball movement early on. When Golden State is moving the rock they are lethal. You guys can clearly see where I am going. Triple Star Rabid Dog release here on Steve Kerr's Warriors.
We have all seen how crazy this post season can be. As always, play it like any triple. Not one nickel more. NOT preaching at you guys. Quite the opposite. I am trying to help. Please take the advice in the spirit it is intended. Okay, many sincere thanks to each of you as always and best of luck to all of us. Enjoy the game. I suspect we will see Kevin Durant have a huge game. Take care.
