If you’ve been paying attention to the blog, then tonight’s result should not surprise you.
I’ve been telling you for months the Demon Warriors were back and to prepare accordingly.
They’re back, and they now have homecourt advantage in the first round.

All eyes were on this series given what took place to end the regular season.
It also helps when Steph Curry does Steph Curry shit and gives Ime Udoka war flashbacks to 2022.
All this talk about how the Rockets had a solution to the Stephen Curry Problem, where was it?

Every make more painful than the last.
It’s also why you cannot be in a close game with GS down the stretch.
It’s what made the Warriors of old so tough.
Even with their offensive struggles, holding any opponent in 2025 to only 85 points is impressive.
If you turn the ball over, you’re dead.
The Rockets had 16 TOs for 25 points.
For the Rockets, this was pretty much the fear.
Regular season wins are nice, but the playoffs are a different beast.
Instead, everyone laid an egg.
Turnovers, missed open looks, it was a tough close for HOU.
That’s certainly possible.
It’s also possible you get another Steph Curry masterclass and none of that matters.
The Demon Warriors are awake, and they’re now armed with homecourt.
I don’t know much, but I have seen this movie before.
