Definitely getting outcoached. He really shouldn't have caved to the hack-a-Adams either.

Sengun should've gotten an And 1 there given the call that went the other way.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

Wow Sengun.

So damn talented for a big.

Can literally give him the ball at 3pt line and he just backs you down from there.

Temu Jokic...which is a big compliment.

You can't touch the shooter. Plain and simple.

If that was a last second shot right before the buzzer, you think the refs would make that foul call in the playoffs in a physical series? I don't think so

The Rockets have shot 31 FTs... let everything go?!


Again people whine too much about the refs. Even if you think that call is bad Houston has gotten a fair whistle and clanks FTs. That's Houston's problem.

Always you guys stop whining

They want brooks to be able to blatantly push a shooter with impunity :lol:


In no world was that a push. No overt action whatsoever, his elbow didn’t extend. He put his hand on him. There was more contact on that Sengun 2.

literally every single possession.
