Buddy Hield really saved them.. honestly, if it weren’t for him, I doubt the Warriors would've won that game.

They were lucky this time. Hopefully, with some rest, Curry can recover and be 100% for the next series.

I was checking their head-to-head record against the Wolves, and I was surprised that the Warriors actually dominated them in regular-season matchups.
So even if they’re the underdogs in the betting odds, I think the Warriors have a real shot here.

Yeah, how many times did we heard the announcer "Buddy Hield laces one again". It's just about time that he had this kind of games. I think Houston really did a good job stopping Curry, but then again, with so many offensive weapons in Warriors it's hard to stop them.

Take away that numbers in the regular season, it's playoff time and let's see if they can stop Anthony Edwards and Randle here, Another tough matchup for the Warriors again so let's see how they are going to adjust against a athletic team.

That 33 points is so much for a game and Buddy did really do it. But if it's about his career high, it's not with that game. It was a game from 2020 against the Timberwolves with 42 points as per google.

This is where the start of these upsets will come. We're all convinced about Cleveland Cavaliers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Boston Celtics with their season's stats but in the playoffs/semis, things might change and games are going to be more emotional and pressuring.

Well this show that experience is really a plus factor especially on do or die games. Although Rockets still made a good performance its just Warriors drop everything they can to win the game.

Also damn I didn't expect Buddy Hield to perform like this he is really the X factor of Warriors tonight and if it happens that he didn't provide that 33 points for his team I guess Warriors will be in trouble. But I guess they are destine to advance in next round since majority of them is performing well. Maybe they just need more adjustment since their next opponent is so tough and they came from a huge win so for sure that Warriors will struggle to defeat Wolves in next round.

He was probably tired from chasing Curry around… He really showed up and was actually the best player for the Rockets out there. Unfortunately, he was exhausted because aside from defending, he also had to carry the scoring load since his teammates were struggling.


They couldn’t really play Adams and Sengun together as that combo would’ve been too slow, especially with the Warriors shooting well from beyond the arc. Honestly, it was Buddy Hield who saved the Warriors. His hot shooting in the first half gave them a solid lead, and it carried over into the 4th quarter.

Overall, I think the Rockets stuck to their game plan, but the Warriors just shot exceptionally well from three -  42% in a Game 7 is hard to beat.

Saw many clips that Curry's opponent is struggling to guard him and this is just one of example about it https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VCMwm0CTDZY Now Amen Thompson experience how hard to guard Curry then he experience to get exhausted.

To bad for Rockets I really thought that they can manage to defeat Warriors in 7, but it seems they fall around and Warriors use their experience to outsmart them. So what other people or even fans say better luck to them next season. Somehow what they achieve for this season is great experience for their young team and will be good for them to work hard to do better performance next season.

Thompson's body is taking a toll already. In all of the 7 games, he's playing really hard, and we know that those things will come to an end, and it ended in the 2nd quarter when he touched his calf saying that he's hurt. I've watched it, and many saw it when he didn't guard Steph Curry on the three point line and instead, he just raised his hand. Of course, that went in.

As for the Rockets' Centers playing, Steve Kerr found a solution for that already, and it's inserting Looney to defend for Adams. Put Green on Sengun, and Looney on Adams, and still the Warriors have a threat on offense while the Rockets have not especially when you know that Jalen Green has been inconsistent all series long. He doesn't want to stick to that line-up because it affects their offense since nobody can shoot threes and VanVleet is also having a bad night as well after that impressive 3-game stretch (Games 4-6). As for VanVleet, I don't see any reason for him being traded because after all, he's one of those players that have a playoff experience, and he's acting as a leader for the team as well. They'll let him stay I believe.

After this playoffs, I don't think that keeping Green is a good move for the team TBH. I mean he's inconsistent all series long. He's the top 1 or top 2 guy in offense, but he's scoring single-digit games in these playoffs. If I'm the GM, I would risk it and keeping him for another season, and if he's still the same, trading him would be a perfect option.

As for both of them going to the Bucks, I want it to happen, but I wonder who will be the 2nd guy that will help Giannis on offense. I don't see anybody except for VanVleet maybe. Maybe trading Sengun other role players plus lots of 1st round draft picks would be a good package.

They need to have that match up against Warriors outside firepower and Yes if those shots from Buddy didn't fall pretty sure Rockets will manage to win the game, but with Warriors experienced and confidence that their system will work and they just need to stick on it, they are really a great shooting team as that numbers show how big their confidence taking those outside shots.

Agreed about Buddy Hield. Man, I don't even remember this guy making over 30 points in a game during this season. It was such an extra performance honestly and Warriors took a big advantage of it. 

Sad to see Rockets saying goodbye early. But this doesn't surprise me too much. The roster is still very young. Warriors = experience. This is how they pushed Rockets out of playoffs after a tough series. But now I don't think they can do the same against a really balanced team like Timberwolves.
