QUESTIONS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD:
WHAT MOREY SAID:
I think I'm not supposed to say that, but we're basically obsessed with 'How do we beat the Warriors?'" Morey told ESPN's Ryen Russillo in December. "We calculated it -- it's like 90 percent if we're going to win a title, we've gotta beat the Warriors at some point. A lot of our signings and what we do during the year is based on that. We spend most of our time just figuring out how we might knock the Warriors out in seven games. Because we're pretty sure that's what's going to define our season."
-According to ESPN Stats & Information research, it's the best offensive matchup in modern NBA history. Since 1973-74, there has never been a series featuring two offenses scoring more than 112 points per 100 possessions. The Warriors ranked first in offense at 112.24 points per 100; the Rockets were second at 112.23. If the Rockets had literally made one more shot in the regular season, they would've finished with the top offense. That's how razor-thin the separation is.
- The Warriors were third in passes per game in the regular season; the Rockets were 30th.
-HOW DO YOU SLOW DOWN HARDEN?
HOW BIG OF A FACTOR IS CAPELA ?
-NOT OBVIOUS X FACTOR FOR EACH TEAM?
-WARRIORS 35.3% VS 3 BALL (7)
-HOUSTON 15TH IN 3 PT % 36.1 / WARRIORS 1ST 38.4
-HOUSTON DEFENDING 3 AT 35.5 % ALSO
-HOUSTON AVERAGED 15.2 MAKES (1) ON 42.1 PER GAME (1)
-WARRIORS AVERAGED 11.1 MAKES (9) - ON 29 PER GAME (16) LAST SEASON 12.1 (3) , 15-16 SEASON 13.1 (1)

GIANTS SWEPT IN 4 GAMER BY PHILLIES:
The Giants struck out 53 times in Philadelphia, obliterating the previous team record of 44 in a four-game series set in 2003, according to Stats LLC.
he Giants struck out 55 times against Zach Eflin, Aaron Nola, Nick Pivetta, Vince Velasquez
Giants: McCutchen, a five-time All-Star with the Pirates, returns to Pittsburgh for the first time since he was traded in the offseason. LHP Andrew Suarez (1-1, 3.06 ERA) faces Pirates RHP Jameson Taillon (2-3, 4.42) in the opener of the three-game series Friday night.
55 K'S - RECORD SINCE 1913 FOR FOUR GAME SET
-OUTSCORED 32-8, HAVE UP 11 TWICE
Carlos Santana entered the series with a .169 batting average and 13 RBI. He finished with a .191 average and 26 RBI. Santana hit a three-run dinger off Blach in the fourth to put the Phillies on top. He drove in four runs in the opener on Monday and five on Wednesday.
--- Vince Velasquez, who entered with a 5.14 ERA, hit 10 strikeouts with one out in the fifth. That whiff was also the 50th of the series for the Giants. They ended up with 55, shattering the franchise record for strikeouts in a four-game series. The previous mark was 44 by the 2003 team in a four-game series against the Diamondbacks. That Arizona team had Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling and Brandon Webb going in that series. This Phillies team had a bunch of youngsters.
