Rockets have to win one in Oakland. I think tonight would be the the higher chance versus game 7.
Saw last night that if there is a game 7 it will be Sunday at 2:30 pm (central)Frok said:

I'm with you but I think it will actually be Draymond kicking CP in the face. Nothing will happen to him and he will argue it is just inadvertent like every other time he has kicked someone.Frok said:
Draymond will kick Tucker in the nuts tonight.

Kerr got fined $25,000 earlier this month for verbally abusing referee Ken Mauer, and the tirade was at the level where the Warriors' coach obviously knew it would be costing him cash so he decided to get his money's worth. He got ejected, the Warriors lost that night in Portland, but writing that check probably earned him some more points with players who always need to know that their coach has their back.
Kerr actually likes Mauer, and believes he's one of the best refs in the league.
That being said, Kerr also said the coach-ref dynamic is almost always weird.

"They've got a lot of middle linebackers on that team," he said. "They are sturdy. We look more like volleyball players long and lean. But we've done this many times before and we've played all kinds of different teams. Everybody tries to be physical with us because they should that's the best way to try to beat us. Houston is very physical."
I still just can't believe the Warriors organization had the gall to say that they never EVER complain about officiating after Game 1lil99chris said:

.....either Kerr is going to be complaining about it being 'too physical' or the Warriors are going to see what they can get away with. I honestly hope the start calling fouls on Durant.

This is something that I hope stays consistent throughout the night. Either call it tight or let em play, but be consistent and call the obvious fouls/infractions.
Game 4 drove me crazy when they all of a sudden started letting the Warriors back in it when we were up 17. There were probably 4 ticky tack touch fouls called back to back that put them in the bonus.
The interesting thing is that if these guys are shooting more and hitting all it does is take the ball away from Durant. I heard Stephen A. saying Klay wasn't happy in GS because of the "crumbs" left behind for him by KD and Steph. Even if he gets more involved thats fewer possessions for their best 2 players. KD has been far and away their best player in the playoffs, so by all means please take the ball out of his hands more.PascalsWager said:
When does the avalanche "return to the mean" game happen for Steph and Klay? I'd rather them shoot 80% from 3 on one game than 45% from 3 for three games. This might be a avalanche game for the Warriors. Either way this looks like a crash course to game 7 slugfest. Probably going to be on every best series ever list. Might be the greatest conference semi final series ever.
