I don’t think their best player is on their team yet. They need that in trade. But I’ve watch enough nba ball to know that someone isn’t garbage based on their first playoff experiences.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Everyone already knows, but still, Steph is 1 of 1. Great win by the Warriors, and bench stepped up. Not your time yet, youngbloods, esp if Jimmy’s ass is ok.

This should be remembered as Steph Curry 1 vs 5 game...despite all the blitz, face guarding and holding , he owns the rockets again...

9 poins. Dude is such a fraud.

This is what he does. Single digits. 30 point game. Single digits. 26 point game.

Apparently that transfers into the playoffs.


Is this a Monta Ellis situation with Shep waiting in the wings?


Not even close. Sheppard is going to be a backup in this league.

Green's an idiot in a lot of ways and the sooner Houston realizes they should move on from him the better they become.

Jalen Green scored 38 points for Houston last game. Today: just 9 pts.

Steph Curry is that great.

Even with scrubs he is the biggest floor raiser in the playoffs.

Why did anyone pick the Rockets to win this series, Green is so bad.

Curry sounds bored in that interview. Makes sense considering how bad HOU has played

Yes Curry was great but getting 33 from those two was huge for GS

Rockets need scorers. What's the point of defense if you can't score. Good offense beats great defense. Curry, green and Kerr have completely exposed the rockets defense.
