Pretty much. The Rockets overachieved this year. But I know the Warriors aren't going anywhere either.

Yes, i think Wolves are in another level. Should be a good one against an aging and injured but still dangerous Steph and Jimmy though.
Free Gaza.

Ime should have kept his timeout if the plan was to send Sengun at Dray.

Rockets can't blame anybody but themselves. 12 missed free throws in a must win game. Jalen Green gotta go

The Wolves are like if the Rockets had offense. But then they also have Gobert so

Great effort from Houston. They just need a bit more experience.
Thank you Nico!

These wannabe Jokers aren’t nowhere close to him. I don’t want to hear **** about DHO’s make Jokic and how all this Jokic “lites” can do the same thing he does. When it comes to the playoffs none of these Sengun or Sabonis can match anything close to him. He dominates Green with no problem.

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.

The dreams of Golden State back in the WCF are coming true.

Took the Rockets 4 games to figure out how to play offense...lol too long. Died at the free throw line, just nasty stuff.

If Kyrie didn't bail LeBron out in 2016 and AD didn't join the Lakers, LeBron would have just 2 titles.
