It is time to bring out all the clichés. Golden State did what they were supposed to do in the first two games against the Houston Rockets; a team wins the series when they win four games not the first two; we have to take the series one game at a time, but ultimately for the Rockets, they just have to flat-out play better.
The rematch that Houston has been talking about since the buzzer sounded to end Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals has to this point been disappointing and it has not been because Golden State is head and shoulders better than the Rockets.
