Line opened Houston -1, public betting Houston. Everyone saw Houston play two close games, so obviously they take care of business at home. Line has gone to GS -1.
James Harden played out of his mind for 2 games and they still couldn't win. They play the same style as GS, they just don't do it as well. GS will let Josh Smith shoot as much as he wants to from outside. 5-17 in 21 minutes. Had a couple good games against LAC, now thinks he can shoot. He can't. Terry is a defensive liability and isn't shooting that well either. They are long and athletic, just like GS but GS far more skilled than Houston.
Houston needs to slow this game down, they can't get into an uptempo game because that is how GS likes to play. I don't think they have the personnel to do this. They play the same game as GS, only GS has much better players.
GS turns the ball over a lot, the only reason Houston was close in the last game. If GS takes better care of the ball, they don't lose.
The Warriors are brilliantly coached, having answers for every question. Look no further than the Memphis series, where after Game 3 people panicked. They solved that problem with great adjustments and strategy. Harden will always get his, but it won't be enough. Unless someone from Houston steps up with a big game, because nobody except Harden is shooting well, GS wins. They just have more scorers, better defense, and better coaching. If they take care of the ball, they handle Houston.
