Warriors should have this. Should be another Steph explosion in the fourth quarter.

17/29 freethrows. That’s how you lose a game.

Massive shout out to the refs, keeping Rockets in the game. Hopefully Rockets can use some of saved up energy in the 4th. With a lot of onesided series , the pressure was on the refs to make sure of the Rockets win. They have done well. They need to be paid more as they are more of the factor in the wins.

If Jalen Green plays in the 4th, is he going to lose the game for Houston? His five turnovers have all led to points. Too damn casual with the basketball.

I'm apparently watching a different game as he's single handedly keeping them in the game lol.

Getting whatever he wants.

I'm sure he is, but one game doesn't change a trend. He had a 54.5 TS% in the regular season and was at 50.3 TS% in the playoffs before today. For a guy who plays near the rim that's HORRENDOUS.


He's the best offensive player on a 2 seed that completely overachieved.

I mean everyone should improve, but the kid is legit.

Houston rockets are shooting Shaq percentages from the line tonight. They might need to move the free throw line up for them and hope they can hit it under the basket.

Hopefully Ime is smart and doesn't let him sniff the court. Dude is awful. Terrible shots on offense and an absolute sieve on defense.
