Are You Betting on the Rockets?
The Rockets are down for the count or, at least, it seems like it after the pummeling they took in Game 3. Now, unless they can stand up to win Game 4, this fight may be over.
Many people agree this year won’t one when the Rockets make it to the NBA Finals. Houston is not only tonight’s 8-point underdog, they’re also at +568 to win the series.
The West’s top-seeded team crumbled to pieces; the Rockets will struggle to even save face at this points.
Even if Houston can avoid another blowout loss, only winning can give them some hope and then only a sliver.
The Rockets were outplayed and outclassed. Houston gave up nearly 130 points and didn’t even come close to the Warriors’ offensive production.
Harden and Paul leave a lot of questions open, can they really step up to win? With Harden struggling on defense and Paul misfiring on shooting and assists, I don’t really see it happening.
Are You Betting on the Warriors?
The Warriors are a juggernaut which the Warriors sure don’t seem capable of stopping. Game 3 showed just how good this team can be.
Curry came with his game face on and went berserk, scoring 35 points in total with 26 of those just in the second half alone. Curry also made five threes after missing 11 of his 13 three-point attempts in Houston.

Yet, Curry’s performance was only but one of the Warriors’ highlights. Durant cannot be guarded, Draymond Green is among the best defenders in the NBA and Klay Thompson is a sharpshooter who’s second to none.
And, all of them are eyeing the prize at the end of the journey.
