Be honest, if I got these calls I would…not be anywhere close to good enough to play in the league, but you know what I mean.

Curry desperately tries to turn the ball over again but he’s DENIED and instead has to settle for another 3 :lol:

Jabari isn't a guard but he needs to be taking all of Green's minutes

I don’t get why Cam not getting any minutes. Even Bari would be much better

I've said this before but I think smartphone gambling is odious but tabling my bias against the product I don't get "ESPN Bet" ads.

The other companies try to make the product look fun and exciting.

ESPN shows the product as it is: a pudgy guy being lectured that he can stare at his phone making bets on a grainy day.

Jabari has really become a smooth 3 point shooter this year.

For stretches of the season they'd tinker with him doing more onball drive and kick reps for sure. He was good. Inconsistent but shows promise.

Let me say this now: if the Rockets lose this game, no one will remember the officiating, it’ll all be ‘if they made that last shot’ or ‘they had their chance’. I know, I’ve been here before.
