Round 1 Winds Down: Lakers Eliminated, Game 6 Previews, and More With Michael Pina

I do not gamble ever, but this feels like as sure of a bet as possible. I agree with you. I think that the Warriors are going to win at home in Game 6. And again, just going back to what we saw in Game 5, I thought that Houston goes to their zone. And the Warriors, for some reason, acted like... They'd never seen a zone before. They were very hesitant. They were second-guessing themselves.

There were a couple plays where they got it to the nail, sprayed out, got a spot up three. But the zone gave them a lot of trouble. They were way too lackadaisical with the ball. There was one play Draymond just threw it off Quentin Post's face.

Yeah, and I also thought that Jalen Green didn't statistically have a good game, but there was a sequence in there.

or a couple sequences when they were running high pick and roll, and they were setting the screen for him really close to midcourt, and Kevon Looney was on the court, and Kevon Looney was in drop, and Jalen Green was just kind of dancing and getting wherever he wanted for a couple minutes there.

I thought that Shingun, again, didn't have the statistical profile, but I thought his game was really solid, and he showed patience, In the pick and roll, there was one play where he didn't settle. He got it. I think it was a similar play where he set a high screen for Fred and caught it at the nail.

And Quentin Post was on him and giving him this huge cushion because the Warriors would love for him to shoot that little flamingo shot. But instead of taking it, taking the bait, he threw it back out to Fred, ran another pick and roll, got a better angle, got behind post, and drew a foul.

So if you're looking for things to hang your hat on, it's just playing with more poise, playing with more patience, not getting sped up. If you're Houston, those are really good things. But I think... at the end of the day, I fundamentally agree that their, their offense, particularly in the half court, it's just so reliant on offensive rebounding and like really tough shot making.
