Re: 2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #2 Houston Rockets vs #7 Golden State Warriors (GSW leads 3-2)
The desperation of playing Kleber straight off injury clearance with no practice or ramp up speaks volumes
            
                                    
                                    When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

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.
Pretty she she goes both ways.

That's called taking your foot off the gas.
It’s called Lacob needs an extra home game for luxury tax.

They get a pass because they are up 3-1. Rockets were shooting lights out

Kerr says the Rockets are hitting Curry's shooting hand & hurt thumb after he releases shots.

Not sure on computation, but i believe revenue for a game (all things considered— ticket sales, merch, concessions, ads, tv rev) is between $6M and $10M.
So yeah, it makes sense when you add up all these “extra” games.

True, it's not hard to see on replays.

God damn man. STFU Steve Kerr. Another whiny ass coach crying because they’re going after Steph. The fk that’s been a thing since mankind was created. Like shut the hell up. Your teams have gotten special treatment for a decade

Only dirty players like Brooks, Zaza, Bowen, Glen Davis and others like them did it.
This is not a regular thing by any means, and it should be called out everytime.
With this kind of an attitude we would be out of players by game 3, because it is not that hard to intentionally injure a player

Acting like Draymond wouldn’t do the exact same thing if given the chance is wild. Kerr is pathetic, turning a blind eye to his guy assaulting people for a decade but he cries about this.

Warriors/Warriors fans complaining about dirty play is wild. Draymond has had his own standard for so long they’ve become noseblind to his ****. Dirtiest player since Bowan, and that MF was a **** disgrace. If you’re going to be a dirty player, get yourself a dynasty to play on and your play will be normalized and you’ll get waaay more leeway. Eventually your rep will cost you some rep techs here and there, but it’s still almost all beneficial.
Edit: as for Kerr, he might or might not believe what he’s saying, but don’t fool yourself, he’s looking for an edge with the refs in future play. And he’ll get it, too, especially at home.

And that, is a sign of excellent coaching. Workinyg the refs is an important aspect of this.

Shot quality here is hilarious. He needs to be graded on a different scale there obviously!
