The Houston Rockets are down 2-0 against the Golden State Warriors in their best-of-seven Western Conference First Round playoff series. After getting destroyed by 26 points in Game 1, the Rockets only lost Game 2 by nine points, but Stephen Curry sat out with a sprained ankle. Game 3 is set to take place Thursday night in Houston, and it’s unclear if Curry will be healthy enough to play in that game either.
Last night, the NBA On TNT crew was previewing the series when they flashed an infographic on the screen that showed no chill.

Instead of saying ‘If Necessary’ for Games 5-7, the crew put ‘Not Necessary.’ Charles Barkley then took it a step further and used his telestrator to cross out Games 5-7.
While the Warriors are clearly the better team, and I do believe they’ll win the series handily, I don’t know if I would guarantee a sweep like TNT has. As dysfunctional as the Rockets are, they are headed home and the Warriors are different team without Curry. I could see the Rockets stealing one of these next two games if Curry is absent, but not much more than that.
