They can but they won’t. Experience matters too much.

The Lakers had a ton of experience.

Too soon?

If you need someone to talk to may I suggest BetterHelp.com

Did they? Outside of two players they really had very little.

Anyway, Houston looks horrible early in this game. Very similar to game 1 so far. Everyone but FVV not handling the game 7 well.

Curry gets 3 points in the half and his team is dominating anyway, must be nice to be carried like this

Cavs aren't allowed to win anything without Lebron.

Who would root for this?

Sengun played his worst game of the series tonight. Houston just wasn’t ready for this kind of pressure game.

Oh well, at least Minnesota will thrash them now.

Buddy Hield cooked them

You said the Warriors would get thrashed by the Rockets.

On to Minnesota.

Never said that at all. I thought Houston was the better team (and still do), but their inexperience in the big moments clearly cost them the series.

I'm certainly saying it about Minnesota though (effectively Houston on steroids with an actual superstar instead of Sengun). Good luck with that.

And Houston's 2 leading scorers (Sengun and Green) no showed again. Not a good combination.

Quite the brutal series from Jalen Green. Especially after talking a bunch of shit in game 3.
