However, the lead-up to the game hasn\u2019t been without controversy. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver faced some backlash over the league\u2019s decision to allow the Rockets and Warriors to wear their alternate city edition jerseys and play on an alternate court design for the high-stakes matchup.<\/p>\n
Many fans voiced frustration, arguing that traditional home and away uniforms should be worn in playoff games to honor the history and significance of the postseason.<\/p>\n
“Alt jerseys and an alt court for a GAME SEVEN? Come on…” NBA Insider Kevin O’Connor posted.<\/p>\n
Fans also chimed in on the controversy:<\/p>\n
“I seriously got confused. I thought someone else was playing in Houston right now,” a\u00a0fan said<\/a>.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n “League blows,” another\u00a0fan posted<\/a>.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s out of control. Warriors have given up on the best uniforms in the NBA. That they won all those titles with. Sad. At least the home team is wearing white,” someone\u00a0else added.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n another\u00a0fan remarked<\/a>, “League is a show. No business.”<\/p>\n
