Houston had 16 turnovers in game 1, just 3 fast break points and Trevor Ariza was in foul trouble and did not play well. Look for the Rockets to play much better tonight. Clint Capela should step into a bit more of a scoring role for Houston - because Golden State has had shown problems with defending the paint - and he can take advantage of that. Houston lacks the respect level that Golden State carries on their shoulders - but they are the better team here. Ranked 2nd in ppg and 45 pts/game from behind the arc is going to be too much for Golden State to be able to handle on the road. James Harden has shown the ability to find CP3 when he is flashing and Paul has been knocking it down at around 38% in the playoffs - and if Golden State leaves him open for just a few brief seconds - it will then open the already dangerous deep game up even more for Houston. The Dubs are without a true center and they will have keep having problems matching up vs the bigs of Houston because of that. Since the playoffs began - taking game 1 out of the equation, Golden State's Kevin Durant has struggled with his 3pt shot - this is another tough matchup here for the 29 year old. Houston is a much better defensive team than some give credit for and better than some numbers would make you think. This game will be only be a few turnovers away from a possible pounding - solid win for the Rockets - Houston wins in a strong way. Golden State has been exploited when playing Houston on the season - with some very subpar showings. Houston big bounce back. Houston Rocket get the cash here in game 2 on Wednesday night.
