    When a NBA playoff series is tied 2-2, the winner of Game 5 wins the series 83% of the time.

    I would love it if we won Game 5 and then won Game 6 in Oracle and lifted the WCF trophy in their house.

    Do you think the Rockets win the series?

    I do. 50% chance. 2 of 3 games at home. Warriors are dealing with injuries. Houston is healthy. They'll miss Iguodala. If Iguodala doesn't come back, Rockets will win the series. - Jalen

    They didn't have Iguodala. How many points did Houston score yesterday? It wasn't a problem with their defense. He affects their offense that much? - Paul

    Yes. - Chauncey

    Let me give you one example. 2nd to last play of the game, Durant dribbles the ball to the left. Livingston was in the paint because he's not a jump shooter. Iguodala would have been in the right corner, possibly creating some balance. - Jalen

    What affect does he have on them? Are they a better offensive team? - Paul

    See Nick Young at half court trying to dribble? CP3 went up on him & stole the ball. - Jalen

    Can't use it as an excuse. They put 4 all-stars in the game at all times. - Paul

    It's not an excuse. - Jalen & Chauncey

    If you don't have Iguodala, they can't beat Houston? - Paul

    Two words for you: Glue Guys. - Chauncey

    Iguodala earned Finals MVP for a reason. - Jalen

    Their glue guy is Draymond Green. - Paul

    He's an all-star. - Jalen

    He holds them together. - Paul

    Your glue guy doesn't lead you in points, rebounds or assists. - Jalen

    Klay is playing , just mind games. Klay has to play. I know one thing, even if the warriors win this series, they won't get out clean. IF the Rockets don't prevail, it might set up another finals match up like 2 years ago with the warriors scraping by to beat okc only to show up beaten and bruised against Cleveland.

    Rockets opened at -1 and now are +1, even after the 2 questionable designations. Sooo weird. Maybe it's because the public knows that if the Warriors lose tomorrow night, the series if likely over for them and they cant envision that happening!? Idk...

    If we lose game 5, we.wont win this series.

    Game 5 is a must win.

    They have injury issues. We need to keep attack mode all time to destroy them. Be quick, be physical.

    Klay will play for sure. That is Kerr's mind trick.
