Jimmy must be proud of his buddy, Buddy!

The sad part is most 2nd year lottery picks got more playing time than JK in the NBA.

Reminds me of the Kings series in 23.

Positive differences:
1)Jimmy
2)We start the next series on the road, so if they flop game one it’s a road loss.

Unfortunately, I think JK with more minutes would be like his G-League Ignite buddy Jalen Green. Still not good enough.

If Buddy Hield keeps this up, and Podz and Moody have better games than this Rockets series, we will be okay against the TPups. But I think it's asking a lot.

At least he would have enough trade value. Unfortunately, Jacob won't trade him.

Hey, Dillon Brooks is off for the rest of the Summer. Good on him!

Idk about that. My Rockets fans friends think Jalen killed his trade value. They want him gone. Maybe not playing JK is big brain move by Kerr, so other teams think it's still a mystery. As opposed to everyone seeing how bad Jalen was.

He really didn't do much in the series once things started getting really chippy. F that clown.

Incredible win, that's the Warriors I thought we were getting, they showed up late but finally got it done. Hield, amazing. But Dray, Podz, Moody, JK a combined 3-19 from 3, yikes.

Wolves gonna be a very tough matchup with little rest but at least it's a chance to reset mentally and recalibrate with new matchups.

Lot better job of getting to those 50/50 balls and gang rebounding. Steph played really well despite the early cold shooting. Nobody. And I mean nobody could foresee Buddy doing this.

They said Sengun missed like 14 shots in the paint or within like 5-7 feet, a record.

In the regular season, Warriors ran Sengun off the court. They played better with their small lineup in the regular season. In the series, the double big dominated until this game. For some reason, they played off Buddy, in addition to giving Dray and Podz open looks.

Jimmy hit a couple of 3s on Adams or Sengun. They didn’t really try to isolate on the big men because Houston blitzed off the pick and roll on Curry. Warriors also didn’t exploit the 4 on 3 off the double teams as much this series.

Minnesota is probably going to switch, not trap as much unless curry or Butler cooks Rudi too much.

Just saw the game. Good one.

Draymond already has 4 technical fouls after only 1 round. 7 is automatic suspension, could be a factor if Dubs go deeper.

Yeah I have been begging the Warriors to cover the 3 and live with what the Rockets can do from 2 with Dray guarding paper soft flopper Sengun being guarded 1 on 1.

What a game from Buddy, 33 pts! Game 7 Buddy!!
