That's why Udoka is my COY. Houston at #2? People would have slapped you for suggesting it last year. They have the collective bball IQ of a rock.

Eh hem.

You call it?

Rockets need to step on their throats. Jimmy is coming back next game.

Green always instigating something

Bro passed out of having Pachekieski sealed under the rim so Jabari Smith could attempt a wild floater.

Between the Rockets and Kuminga these games should be scored by the Barnum & Bailey music.

It's really special when the Rockets defense gets into the flow state. Not that they've been there extended tonight but have shown glimpses.

This Warriors offense is putrid and the records reflect that before the Jimmy trade. Even with Jimmy back, there's no way they getting by OKC.

When they're losing, he goes bat crazy.

Rockets are painfully athletic. It's wild.

When we did our preseason predictions, I said Houston absolutely has a chance to be a top 4 seed and a surefire playoff team. Like you, I agree he needs real consideration for COY with the team he has because they are actually a year away. They should be a 6-8 seed (I mean they were 3 games away from that), but with so many tanking teams this year, they picked up a few more wins than they probably should have.

Atkinson, Bickerstaff or him are deserving in any order.

Warriors management this year acquired Jimmy Butler for peanuts extending their contention cycle for another couple of years. Curry fans should be grateful for GSW management. He's in the Magic Johnson/Tim Duncan tier for strong management. And Curry like those guys, to their credit, did everything they could to maximize their teammates considerable abilities.

Look at Milwaukee or Denver for ATGs stuck with bad management.

its a two man game, and Draymond being the defender. Rest of young guys are not playoff ready and warriors management hold them on for too long and they dont have any values left. These cats without Curry cant score 50 in todays NBA that shows how bad they are offensively.

Oh yeah, I thought they'd be a playoff team but I didn't predict top 4. You were on top of that.

Atkinson's done great but the Cavs were really good last year and trending upward. The Pistons have been amazing and JB is a good choice. I'd have it between him and Ime, but overcoming the Rockets being braindead collectively to get them to a top 2 seed is straight up amazing. I'd give it to him.

At least Cade has working brain cells, no shade. Green and Sengun still play with blocks and play-do.

The NBA will not miss Draymond Green when he retires.

OKC isnt as athletic as Houston.. Theyre a far easier matchup than the speed of the Rockets

Feels like this game could get away from GSW if they're not careful. At half they need to be down around 7-10, not 18-20.
