    I knew the moment Pj said we think our small ball line up is the best the media would spin it to say we think our small ball line up is better than GS just like what they did with caplea

    Nice article mentioning how much the Warriors have changed their offense during Rockets series.
    https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...fort-zone-steph-curry-kevin-durant/626882002/

    Player-Play Type-PnR (Ball Handler):
    http://stats.nba.com/players/ball-handler/#!?Season=2017-18&SeasonType=Regular Season
    Player...................................poss/gm.......frequency................ppp................NBA percentile
    Curry (17/18 regular season): 5.8................26.1%.................1.13.........................96.5
    Curry (17/8 playoffs):................6.3...............30.2%.................0.68.........................30.2

    Either Curry is not healthy or the Rockets defense is game planning well.......maybe both.
    Possessions & freq are up in playoffs vs reg season.

    Focus on cutters is a big part of the Warriors system. Me thinketh the Rockets got this.

    They all pretty much agreed that this is a 5 game series, Warriors win.

    I hope they can prove some of these damn people wrong.

    Well said, Oakland Fan! I have to tell you that I dig your avatar. It's perfect for ClutchFans. Heck, it would be perfect for some of the most ardent Rocket fans here. As much as I worry about the Rocks, I wouldn't be out of place using something like that, at least if I wasn't a semi-retired replicant hunter who likes to read about our heroes while quietly grinding his teeth. (if you look closely at my avatar, you can tell that I'm quietly grinding my teeth - it's a miracle I have any teeth left - this team seems determined to drive me crazy)
