Congrats Houston fans regardless of how this season shakes out!


The two moves they were absolutely slammed for

Jalen Green has Kobe shot selection with about -5.5 of kobes talent

Yeah...Also that was against the supernova brothers Kyrie and Lebron.

Steph himself said he's never seen two guys ever play at that level.

Will we see supernova Vleet/Green?


Is Silver going to throw Houston a bone like he did Cleveland???


Draymond can do it himself is someone baits him lol

I think Dubs and Wolves advance but the Wolves thrash them. They don't have an Amen Thompson but they have actual viable small-ball lineups and if Ant can avoid getting suspended, the best player in the series.

I would take the Lakers in a Game 7 and Warriors in a Game 7.

Houston emptied the clip for this one game, no more rounds left for the next two games

He also has the best worst handles I've ever seen.

Will pull every move in the book and can't get past Buddy Hield. Bruh straight up dribbles in circles.

Im guessing absolving Draymond of blame is just a san francisco thing in general and not just a GSW thing.

I honestly think Draymond Green could run over someone and still not be punished for it. Same dude who cracked his teammates jaw. Kicked people in the nuts. Stomped on peoples chest.

Yes Adam Silver is at fault lol.

Oh and silly me forgetting...CHOKING players!

Tell me that isn't the face you'd see from an episode of scared straight. dude is straight up insane.

Pretty sure her wife agrees too ;)

She went to school in the town next to mine but I was closer in age to Lebron's teamate Tony Parker. Oddly enough Toni Parker of the Spurs brothers were a town over too, My wife actually went to school with them.

Really fun to watch the Thompsons play defense when they're really on.
