Buddy Hield is so obviously a losing player. I can’t believe they think it is a good idea to play him
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Makes me sad ESPN will still be the primary broadcast holder in the new contract. I can only hope NBC will be at least 70% as good in their coverage as they were the last time around.

Leave Doris alone

Doris? It's the players I worry about. She sounds like the main character from "You" the way she talks about players

And just when I thought no matter you do, do not foul on a last second shot and of course they had to do it! So unnecessary!

So bizarre that you have series where guys aren't getting called for anything like the Nuggets/Clippers and then you have this series where there isn't even contact.

Podz single-handedly killed that Warriors run by pulling that terrible 3-point shot attempt lol. Rockets immediately went on a 7-0 run after that.

If that was a foul, it happened before Jimmy shot the ball.

Adam made the call. These guys are getting called just for existing.

Refs just called a foul on the Rockets in the tunnel, Butler going to the line.

its against NBA policy to give Curry a 4th foul in the first half, so its a correct no call
