Regular Season Series: Golden State 3-2
Keys:
Houston Defense
The Rockets success will be determined on the defensive end of the floor.
The Amen Thompson vs. Steph Curry matchup has been discussed quite a bit, but I expect Ime Udoka to have a plan B and C because with all the time Steve Kerr has had to prepare, the Warriors will have some tasty actions to spring Curry in space against Thompson.
Don’t Get Old
There have been times when Golden State has looked like a threatening playoff team, with Curry and Draymond Green leading the way.
With the first round being spread out because of television, getting rest should be easy for Golden State. With the age of this team, will they be able to take advantage of it against a team that will defend them every game?
