the only thing that matters is who wins that trophy regardless of whatever happened thats out of that teams control
I'm sure they both play, so I'm more interested in how effective they'll be for the rest of the series. If Iggy is like 70% (or less) and not his usual self on defense, Rockets have a real chance to take this.
We need to (I mean this respectfully) need to stop hoping to get an edge on the Worriers because someone is not 100% or hobbled. Rockets can take this with the Worriers at full strength. No one at this point of the post season is 100% for what it's worth.
I'm hoping for any and every edge possible, including injury luck. Forgive me if I don't think the team stacked with 4 all stars deserves it.
This has nothing to do with whether the Worriers "deserve" it. I have no sympathy for them as well. Injuries have always been a part of the game. I was just saying the Rockets can beat the Worriers with or without injuries (on the Worriers side). In fact, teams with key players hobbled have always done very well against the Rockets in particular so...there's always that....
i see your point brother, but I really don't think that's the case. I think the Worriers realized in their minds they let a golden opportunity go (Draymond's words) and they want to close this series out at home (game 6). I think they will have all hands on deck to bounce back from a loss. If Rockets take game 5......Worriers will REALLY begin to Worry...in my opinion...
Both are healthy and will play. Merely a ploy to get us to take focus off of them. My third eye is woke
Just speaking logically. Kerr knows and has the belief his team can win any game at any time. With that being said, why would he rush out Iggy or Klay if they didn't feel right? If he and the team deem it necessary to roll the dice and sit Iggy (and Klay)... they would at least be pegged to get that extra rest and come back to their home court for Game 6. I wouldn't be shocked either way at this decision to play one or both (or sit them out). It just seems like Kerr knows he can get them rest, knowing the series isn't over if HOU comes firing. I fully expect them to play though because it could get ugly (or not *cough Kawhi....). OR pull them early if it gets out of hand.
