I've always liked Tirico better than Breen and he sounds as good as ever tonight. Glad he's THE voice of the NBA now.

SGA driving into people and then flopping his way to the foul line. Picking up right where he left off last season.

Rockets must don’t trust Eason. He would make more sense than Adams to close.

They are looking for any possible marginal contact to claim they were correct lol. Clearly not a foul

Seems pretty open and shut on the replay, what were they looking at for so long?
