Officials already favoring the Warriors at home. Draymond has gotten away with two easy foul calls.
And they called a foul on Sengun for doing nothing at all. Not good but just have to play through it.
The Rockets are the better team. But that means nothing if they miss wide open shots. It's frustrating.

As I expected. The officials will just help the Warriors no matter what happens.
The Rockets will need to minimize all these mistakes to have any chance to win.
I'm thankful it's still a close game. Just not feeling the officiating after one quarter.

Rockets lead 22-18 after the 1st quarter but I'm not happy.
Sengun missed an easy dunk. Too many careless turnovers,
Officiating is one sided. If the Rockets win this I'll be amazed!

The Houston Rockets need that mamba mentality. They need that killer instinct.
Stop being so passive and kick their ass!! You're the better team. Play like it guys.

It's so frustrating letting the Warriors hang around. A few miracle threes and they lead.
That is what will happen if the Rockets don't put them away. Run them out of their arena.

The Warriors don't have the athleticism to keep up with the Rockets in transition. None at all.
But the Rockets slow it down and play half court ball which only helps the Warriors older legs.

A Jabari Smith Jr. sighting. About time. He was supposed to be the next Chris Bosh.
He's still very young. If he ever reaches his potential we're going to the NBA Finals.

There are times when Amen Thompson looks like a young and healthy Grant Hill.
So silky smooth. Elite defender. Better offensive player than he's given credit for.

Rockets threaten to go up more than 12 points. Here come the officials to help the Warriors.
4 fouls on Dillon Brooks. Warriors about to ride the officials and make it a close game soon.

Rockets lead 49-46 at halftime. I'm very upset guys. I'm done for the night.

Officiating is absolute garbage. Rockets were threatening to go up more than 12 points and a couple of awful calls. Warriors made it a close game at halftime with a 9-0 run. Rockets have to stop missing free throws and play better in the second half if we want to win this game.

Just not thrilled with these BS calls. Warriors are too good to be helping them gain momentum like this.

If the Warriors win this game I'm going to cry all night and quit watching basketball.
A 2-1 series lead in a series like this is huge. It's monumental. Especially for Houston.

I just can't stop laughing mostly. I already knew what was going to happen. But I still believed we could win.

I'm going to spend my last 15 Forum Gold trying to win that 19,000+ hourly raffle.
I'll buy one ticket for the next three hours if nobody wins. Maybe I'll match two numbers.

You have won 35.00 FG from the Hourly Raffle

4/26/2025, 10:00:03 PM Store 35.00 (10.18 -> 45.18) from Forum Bank (by Forum Bank) Lottery Match (34 13 5)

At least I have that. Matched two numbers. I needed a 26 instead of 13 and I would've had a little over 4,000 FG
I'll stop there (no more) and I'll be super thankful for something tonight. I've never matched three numbers before.

Even though it looks like the Warriors are about to take a 2-1 series lead. Congratulations to Proint and all Golden State fans.
