Expected: The Warriors will lose "Grab 7", and the Rockets will advance! 4 points show that the NBA does not want the Warriors to advance

The NBA doesn't seem to want the Warriors to advance, otherwise the G5 would not be targeted at the Warriors. Although playing one more game can earn more tickets, the Warriors' physical fitness cannot withstand it. If the league really wants the Warriors to advance, the Warriors G5 should advance. Why does the

league tend to advance to the Rockets instead of the Warriors? The reason is actually very simple:

1. The Warriors' physical fitness is destined not to go too far. From G6, we can see that the Warriors' physical fitness is already seriously insufficient. Curry + Butler + Green is too old, especially the efficiency in the fourth quarter has dropped seriously. Curry's performance of 1 of 7 is the best proof.

2. The NBA hopes to see the growth of young players and young teams, which will be beneficial to the future development of the league. James has been eliminated, and the NBA needs fans to adapt to the playoffs without James and Curry in order to prepare for them after they retire.

3. With the Warriors' physical fitness, even if they barely pass the first round, they can't fight when they encounter the Timberwolves in the second round. The Timberwolves are now strong and energetic, and their strength is above the Warriors. The Warriors may face the Timberwolves the same as the Lakers, or even worse than the Lakers! The Rockets are more interesting when they face the Timberwolves.

4. The Warriors' inside line is too poor, and the Warriors rely on the old Green to fight against the Rockets' double towers. Green's defense of Kyoto was difficult, and Adams could not defend at all. The Rockets are now opening on the outside, and in this case, it is too difficult for the Warriors to win. The Rockets are second in the West and are another young team. The league definitely hopes that the Rockets can go further.

Based on the above 4 points, the league prefers the Rockets to advance. Of course, another important reason is: if the Warriors are eliminated in the first round, there will definitely be big deals in the offseason, which is what the league wants to see. NBA President Xiao Hua said, "The deal between Doncic and Davis has greatly increased the NBA's ratings!" This shows that big deals can bring big traffic to the league and help improve the ratings. So, the league wants to see the Warriors have another big deal.

In short, it is basically difficult for the Warriors to advance if they didn't win the Rockets in G6. Curry and Green look very tired, and the Rockets are in full swing now and have regained their second-place strength in the Western Conference. It is difficult for the Warriors to defeat the Rockets again. What do you think about this? Comments are welcome, thank you very much.

Warriors actually used "surrender early" to confront the league! 4 points show that the consequences of angering the league are serious, and will the league "retaliate" against the Warriors?
