You can’t let Warriors be physical on one end and call these fouls on the other

There is no other player in the league who would get a bail out call like that on the last second except Steph. Refs need to stop being bitches and do their damn jobs

4th Qtr determines the series. Warriors better figure out a way to win this one cause they're not winning a Game 7 in Houston imo.

Jumping into someone isn’t a foul

No wonder we struggle in Fiba and barely won the Olympics

Our league and “skill” is becoming a bit fraudulent

If defenses could defend like the early 2000s, a lot of these guys would look different

Rockets plus the refs are a better team. Warriors need to thrown in the towel already.

Curry explodes in the 4th with 4 three-pointers. This is the Rockets, his favorite team.

They should be eliminated if Jalen Green wasn’t playing like trash.

I never wanna hear GS fans complain about calls again

For a decade it’s been illegal screens

Draymond getting away with everything

And some clear rigging in big games

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.


Pro sports should get the **** away from gambling. Or start selling meth ads.


It is a revolting product. Smartphone gambling is a 24/7 casin in people's apartment. There is no way that ends well for most people who use that product.


100%. Add to that the league is intentionally marketing itself to younger audiences AND the obvious conflict of interest sponsoring people making/losing huge money on the outcome of games they purportedly want to be absent ulterior motives, it’s just an obvious own-goal.

I assure you. Houston winning this series is only going to piss off the god of war (Anthony Edwards).

Stand down! This doesn't have to be this and there's a bigger game a foot.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.
