HOUTON, TX — The Houston Rockets assembled this current team for one reason and one reason only, to out Golden State, Golden State! Well playas…they’re on the verge of knockin’ these boyz off after winnin’ Game 5, 98-94 in H-Town on Thursday night to take a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference Finals. They’re one win away from returnin’ to the Finals for the first time since winnin’ back-to-back titles in 1994-95.
The Rockets came out of the gate bein’ so aggressive that Golden State seemed to be discombobulated from the start chasin’ their tails. Instead of spreadin’ the floor like they usually do they were playin’ iso ball. The only thing that saved them from bein’ down double digits in the first 7 minutes was the fact that Houston couldn’t hit an elephant in the butt with a base fiddle from behind the arc. They were 0-6 from three point range and that allowed the Warriors to hang on to the knot at the end of the rope. They managed to only be down 10-8 at the first timeout.
By the end of the first quarter Houston’s terrible three point shootin’ of 3-14 gave Golden State an opportunity to regroup to close the gap and only be down 23-17. At the break it was all knotted up at 45 with KD puttin’ up 18 of his 29 points.
However, it was the stellar defense of the Rockets that kept the defendin’ champs in the ropes bleedin’ from the mouth all night. Eric Gordon came out of the bushes to drop off a team high 24 points as he played some sick defense too. Ole boy stayed in Steph’s back pocket givin’ him the blues and disruptin’ his shot. Sure, Curry finished the night with 22 points but you and I both know that it could have been much worse if that dun had really gotten goin’.
The veteran leadership of Chris Paul is payin’ dividends at this point in the series as he finished the night with 20 points and givin’ Steph the shimmy right back to him. I love when a boy talks trash. It’s great entertainment. Unfortunately, he had to leave the game with a right hamstring injury that could possibly keep him out of Game 6. The Rockets will know more on Friday after further evaluation.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Everybody and their baby’s momma had Golden State waltzin’ into the Finals winnin’ the joint and holdin’ a parade in two weeks. Now all of that is in serious jeopardy of not even happenin’. Houston is not playin’ with these boyz and if they could find the darn Beard on the back of a milk cartoon this mornin’ they might be able to close this thing out this weekend. Ole boy finished with 19 points but he couldn’t buy a three point field goal at the Flea Market to save his life. He was 0-11 from behind the arc and they still won.
Again, it was the hella defense that D’Antoni’s squad is playin’. They’ve kept the potent Golden State offense under 100 points the past two ball games. That’s NUTS!! Game 6 in Oakland on Saturday has boyz on the brink of wettin’ the bed after bein’ up 2-1. They’ve loss two straight and could literally lose three in a row. I’m interested to see how the defendin’ champs will respond and stop me when I start lyin’!

1) Dun: noun – the person in question, dude, guy, etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ about and its non-gender specific.
2) Ole boy: noun – the person that I’m currently talkin’ about.
The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
