G18 vs Houston

You got to know when..to say when..

Houston has won 7 in a row against the warriors..or maybe I should say the Warriors have lost 7 in a row to Houston..Most of these games have come down to the final 2 minutes of the game..Houston executes and the warriors have a hard time just getting the ball inbounds..While it seemed like Deja vu down the stretch last night..the real problem was how it got to that point..The first half went back and forth each team having there runs..Monta who was under the weather and a little out of rhythm..struggled but found ways to help.. while Radmanovic and Morrow were both feeling it from outside.. and it's a good thing they were because the rockets were having none of it inside.. turning away Monta and Maggette on several occasions..The third quarter was the highlight of the night.. where the dubs hung 38 on the stout Houston defense..Radmanovic and Morrow kept the oven on..and Monta and Watson were creating turnovers.. leading to a ton of transition threes..Hunter played most of the third..and was holding down the paint for warriors..cleaning the defensive glass and effecting a lot of shots around the basket..which also led to some transition buckets..but more importantly limited Houston's second chance points..The quarter ended with the Warriors up 6 with the momentum and crowd behind them..In steps Nellie in his first game back on the bench.. Scraping the line up that got the warriors the lead..Nellie couldn't help himself..throwing a line up of Curry,Watson,Ellis,Morrow and Maggette at center..in the first couple of minutes they got an easy layup or 2..bumped the lead up to 10..But by half way through the quarter it was obvious Maggete could not handle Landry.. he was having his way finishing and1's and getting second shots of the glass..All of a sudden the Rockets were back to bullying us around in the paint..as Hunter and Radmanovic watched from the bench..So things weren't working..dose Nellie change things up? Of course not! That would go against what he dose.. which is change it up when things ARE working..Finally with about 4 minutes left in the game..and with Maggete getting his 5th foul.. he puts Radmanovic back in.. but the damage had been done and the momentum had been stolen.. or should I say given to the Rockets..So a guy so close to the all time wins record.. cant even get out of his own way to win a game at this point in his career..whether it's over thinking..under thinking.. or the early signs of senilism.. it's time for him to call quits.
