HOUSTON, TX — The Houston Rockets were in trouble after gettin’ torn out of the frame in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Monday night. So they were desperate on Wednesday in Game 2 and they played like it as they jumped out of the ride lookin’ for an all out fight with the Golden State Warriors. It was all hands in deck as four out of their five starters scored in double figures and they even had a boy come out of the bushes to wreck shop in a 127-105 victory to knot the series at one apiece.
In Game 1 Golden State had their way with them but in Game 2 Houston defended their pride, Big Momma and Uncle Junior by playin’ their game like some straight up G’s. They were aggressive in every sense of the word. James Harden and Eric Gordon hit ‘um up for 27 points each as PJ Tucker got loose for 22. Trevor Ariza unloaded for 19 as Chris Paul got at them for 16.
It’s tough to defend yourself when boyz are scorin’ from all angles and you’re not clickin’. Golden State must have gotten kidnapped tryin’ to make a Frenchy’s Chicken run over in Third Ward Tuesday night because that was not the Warriors on the floor in Game 2. Kevin Durant was the only dun in rhythm as he dropped 38 points. The rest of the squad was a no show. Steph was the only other player in double figures with a mere 16 points.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Everybody and their baby’s momma are sayin’ that they want to see Houston and the Celtics in the Finals but they really don’t. It sounds good and popular to say but boyz wanna see that Golden State/Cleveland matchup because it’s great for TV. Four superstars from Oakland against that Philistine. Now Cleveland’s about done because Brad Stevens has already dumped two and a half smooth stones into the Philistine and he’s about to go down. So this year we’re probably goin’ to get the Warriors and the Celtics.
Now that the series has shifted to Oakland, the Rockets have got their hands full. They played all season for home court advantage by havin’ the best record in the league and tricked it off by losin’ Game 1. Even though they won Game 2 they’ve given up their advantage by losin’ Game 1 and guess what playa, that means that they’re still in trouble.
How many times will the Warriors come up missin’? Not very often and especially not at the crib. They’ll rattle off two quick wins at home and finish these boyz off in Houston in five. By winnin’ Game 2 Houston merely extended the series by one game. Stop me when I start lyin’!
