Late in the clock grenades for draymond on b2b clutch possessions was real bad

I know I've belabored the point multiple times this weekend, but honestly, if you didn't know anything and you'd been watching this series and someone told you Jalen Green was the Rockets leading scorer, what would you say?

Probably a good mixture of both. He’s an overrated player in my opinion. The Joker-lite stuff is way out of pocket, he’s like Joker if Joker lived under a bridge and was addicted to crystal meth.

Insane that you go to San Francisco and blow the doors off the place just to come back to Houston in a do or die game and Buddy Hield sends you to Cancun. Unreal. Let’s go Wolves.

Do we think Buddy Hield is good?

All the Rockets laid an egg tonight. Just means we can now demand their 4-5 best firsts versus only three.

But I feel like the officials, particularly Tony Brothers will screw the Rockets if the game in close down the stretch.

The league was salivating at a possible Lakers/Warriors 2nd round match-up. Withe Lakers out, the league will be damned if they don't at least get the Warriors in the 2nd round.

When I look at it like that, I almost want the Rockets to win just to deny the league both the Lakers and the Warriors in round 2. They would be pissed lol.

It would have been interesting what it would have taken to get Butler. The 'funny' thing is that I was most concerned about the albatross of what a Jimmy contract would look like and it turns out it is $10m less than a disabled Dame.


MVP Giannis & playoff Jimmy working together would have given the east nightmares. Imagine the Pacers trying to talk their **** to Jimmy. Jimmy is also like a coach on the floor and he would have fired up guys like Bobby and KPJ. Jimmy's competitive fire is contagious.

I tried like hell before the deadline to speak Jimmy to the Bucks into existence lol. Still incredibly frustrating to me that we didn't acquire him.

After what the Bucks pulled with Dame there wasn't a snowball's chance in hell of Miami sending Jimmy to Milwaukee.
