Houston bench stepped up big time. Adams, Jabari Smith Jr, and Eason played about as well as you could hope for.

Do you have any idea how easy this is to fix? literally the dude who has the ball gets to take the shot.

Warriors really pooped the bed on this effort. They'll give Butler the three all day long.

Wouldn’t it be hilarious to see the Rockets do hack of a Draymond too?

Why do the Rockets look like they're playing prevent defense.

We know how well that works out in the NFL.

I swear the Warriors announcers are the worst. How disconnected from reality do you have to be to make a comment like that?
Draymond literally gets away with more than anybody


As human beings, we adjust our expectations based on our experiences. So people who watch Draymond all the time are least able to see how exceptional his treatment is. IOW, they are probably being sincere.

Edit: but also they are terrible announcers.

They are more likely to play Jaxson Hayes.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

With the Warriors broadcast, whenever there's a foul... I wish they cut to a sideline reporter or something. Listening to those two bitch about officiating is the single most annoying thing happening in NBA broadcasting. Fitzgerald and Azubuike would be almost listenable if they could stop talking about fouls.

Kerr has done this multiple times in the playoffs. It's very cringe.
