Not only are the Warriors far superior to the Rockets, but the situation sets up well for them. Golden State
last played on Friday, while the Rockets exerted all of their energy in
capturing their series against the Clippers after being down 3-1
clinching this past Sunday. Certainly I
give the Rockets credit for not quitting against the Clippers being down
19 points in the second half on the road in Game 6. But I attribute
this more to an epic choke job by LA. I didn't see a
lot of defense from Houston. The Rockets were able to take advantage of
the Clippers' reserves playing terrible during much of the last four
games. The Rockets
aren't polished and lack the Warriors' precision and defense. Houston
also can't come close to matching up against Golden State's backcourt
tandem of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. The Rockets really are going
to miss underrated point guard Patrick Beverley, particularly his
defense, in this series. Golden State
won and covered all four meetings during the regular season against the
Rockets with Curry and Thompson combining to average better than 47
points per game while shooting 50 percent from the field. The point
spread may seem high, but the Warriors won 55 percent of their games
this season by double-digits. They covered 59 percent of the time when
laying 10 or more points. The Rockets
have lost 18 times by 10 or more points. The Rockets are 5-4 during
their last nine playoff games. Each of those four defeats came by
double-digits with their average losing margin being by 21.5 points a
game.
