Don't worry, he's not a Warriors fan. No self-respecting Warriors fan would EVER complain about calls...unless it's to make fun of whiny Raps fans of course.


No never.. never seen warrior fan complain at all...
Weak troll


I am rooting for the warriors but I was actually also trolling, lol. And weak responder for falling for it. Even threw out the the crazy emoji b/c they couldn't handle the comment. I wasn't wrong tho

honestly looks like two teams that have played a ton of basketball and are banged up. i completely understand how the Rockets missed 27? straight 3s.. chasing the Warriors around on O kills your legs and then you have to work so hard to get an open shot

Curry needs to heat up and start hitting some in the 2nd half. 0-5 so far from deep. That's not going to get it done.

Think Kawhi takes over and wins it second half.

I trust Kawhi, even semi hobbled, more than I do Curry

Siakam is still so raw on offense. Makes so many mistakes. Postup positions way out, attacking mismatches from wrong angles into help etc.

GS's defense has been pretty bad again this game

Honestlt it’s unbelievable. Their offense hasn’t been flowing but they still missed like 10 wide open 3s with time to shoot


I actually think (other than Siakam) that the offense was pretty good most of the half. They were getting whatever they wanted against GS... they were just missing every open shot (even some bunnies underneath)

This. I dont wanna hear about calls. James Harden isnt in this series. Let em play, let's go.

he is who is he always was.. great competitor and hustle with an inconsistent shot and limited offensive game.. only now with kawhi he can play more naturally as a PG who is not a natural scorer

Every single game? This isn't a new thing, Curry pushes his defender to get open like 15+ times a game.

This game is close because FT disparity and Warriors turnovers. Warriors have shot awful from 3. Minimally better than the Raptors.

The defensive flop god.


Lowry falls on charges and driving to the basket. Curry flops on....jumpers..it's pathetic.
