HOUSTON -- Hell hath no fury like the Golden State Warriors in the third quarter.

And that's a primary reason why we will have Cavaliers-Warriors IV in the NBA Finals.

It's a predictable flurry of punches that opponents are powerless to fend off. The Warriors dominated third quarters all season long and have kicked it into another gear during the playoffs. Yet another third-quarter blitz saved the Warriors' season on Monday night, when Golden State won the West and eliminated the Houston Rockets.

1. History x 4

2. Yet another...

...Cleveland/GS finals. I'm not watching.

3. No team has benefited more from injuries...

... to the best players on the opposing teams than Golden State. Zaza taking out Kawhi Leonard last year, and then Chris Paul and his hamstring injury in game 5 of this series.

I have no choice but to root for Cleveland. I am not related to George Steinbrenner, either.

4. I say HELL YEAH.

5. Good to have Kerr and LeBron stay on top

Kerr is often commenting against Pres Rump and LeBron drives conservatives crazy.

6. Love it!

Curry is an amazing player to watch. Glad they made it back in.

7. Dribble across half court, pass once or twice, chuck a 25-30 foot three pointer.

8. Pass Once Or Twice?

Apparently, you don't actually watch the games.

The Warriors have led the league in assists for the past 4 seasons. And, they average almost twice as many assists as some teams. They just don't lead the league in assists, they are WAY out in front.

9. They are a remarkable team

Emphasis on Team!

11. I watched the game, it's the new NBA, chuck a 3. I never mentioned the Warriors in my earlier post.

10. The Rockets did not so much "go ice cold", as the Warriors got Red Hot

...of course, it needs to be said that if you go 37 for 44 in 3-point shooting against the Warriors (THIS Warriors Team!!), you're probably going to lose.

And to be fair, not having Chris Paul in the lineup was devastating to the Rockets imo.

All in all, it was a hell of a game!
