You could look at that play from 50 different angles and somehow still not be 100% sure if he got it off or not.

??? That was the coolest finish I've ever seen.

It was awesome, for sure. If I hadn't needed overtime for some of my parlays to hit, I might have reacted differently.

If Zubac doesn’t hold Gordon back during the kerfuffle at the end of the first half, Gordon was probably going to get himself ejected.

If I was a clips fan, I’d be gutted. Possibly a Westbrook 3 and buzzer-beating dunk from a sweep. Just brutal, especially if they go on to lose the series.

I’ll be that rule book nerd. Gordon’s fingers were still clearly touching the ball and it shouldn’t have counted. I get why they didn’t overturn it though.

Two pretty big opportunities for Kuminga to come in and be a positive contributor and he's just been a wet fart.

How did the Rockets get the 2nd seed in the West with this offense?

So painful watching FVV be absolutely terrible after what he did to us in 2019.

Tough ending for the clops but they went away from what was working when they finally got it tied up with those contested kawhi 3’s. They just had like 12 straight buckets by going to the rim and exposing the nonexistent rim protection. Idk why they just dont do that all game, it was shockingly easy for a big playoff game 4th quarter.

It’s rough. Definitely won a lot with super high effort for the regular season and their defense being really good, physical catching a lot of teams off guard. Their offense was definitely better than the magic, but similar effect.

GP2 has 14 points and like 10 of them are off the back of the defence leaving him open because they have eyes on Steph.

The Rockets are in a weird spot. They have a considerable amount of good talent and Ime is too good of a coach for them to bottom out and tank for an elite prospect, but they also have 0 chance of seriously contending for a title with their present group because there's no one even close to title #1 level on that roster. And I don't think any of their young guys has that upside either, as much as I like Amen.

Really the main difference between them and OKC is that SGA is a superstar and Jalen Green isn't even close. The rest of the supporting cast & coaching are comparable between the two teams, but there's a canyon sized gap between the #1 perimeter guys. Expecting him to be SGA level is too much but if he was at least top 15-20 level like Donovan Mitchell or something they'd have a chance.
