Honestly, I’m astonished they called Steph there. It was no more obvious than a dozen or so plays this half.

Jimmy's just fishing for fouls because refs are giving them.

Man, run an offense. Don't just jack up 35 foot 3s early in the shot clock. Even if you're Steph.

It's clear to me Jabari has aboslutely zero handles and he should be relegated to spot up threes or 1-2 moves pull up. Anything beyond that and he's lost.

Sengun gets mauled and not a call in sight, Butler gets a whistle for breathing on him

How can they talk about the level of physicality without dying of shame?

There is so much jealously. Though tbf Draymond is easy to despise.


Steph Curry blocks shelters for homeless people. He's not a great guy.

Jalen Green needs to learn how to pass.

Also it is hilarious seeing Doris talk about how physical this series is when Houston drives and then Jimmy gets a soft call on the other side
