People love to complain about Mazzulla but I guarantee you it wouldn't take him 6 games to excise Ben Simmons from his rotation and play real basketball players like Batum and Bogdanovic instead. Also since he likes maths (and winning basketball games) I'm pretty sure he would have had the Pistons run a two for one after the Knicks tied it up with 35 seconds remaining instead of whatever the hell that was.

I'm truly amazed that golden state can get away with playing Butler at 6'6 as their tallest starter . Draymond at 65 playing center..

Maybe that's why GSW is trailing.

Houston is absolutely Daring everyone except Curry to shoot open shots.Podziemski and Gary Payton especially..

Gary payton jr was totally left open by twenty five feet on the baseline and shot an AIRBALL way over the rim. lol..GS it's gonna blow this series because they can't shoot.. That sounds so funny because they are team who took started the trend of bombing three point shots.

It's like Houston cannot pull away. And yet golden state can't overtake the lead.. Which one of those two will break first.

Looks like Houston's defensive game plan is working out unbelievably well.. all the role players are so shook to take open shots.

And I should mention their defense is mainly a zone.

I love watching little Fred outplaying Steph.
I would love to see the Warriors & that scumbag Kerr become one of the few teams ever to blow a 3-1 lead.

GSW sending Adams to the FT line and GSW can't get the missed FTs.

...twice.

They already did in 2016 Finals vs. the Cavs.

Slipping away for GSW.

Credit Udoka, he went big and the momentum shifted.

The double big lineup of HOU has hurt Warriors big time in this series. Not much shooting with their lineup either but somehow made it work.

Good for fans to have two Game 7s in the 1st round.

Not including steph curry, golden states 'starting players are 2 for 18 on I dare you to shoot 3 shots.

Meanwhile, I almost forgot Kuminga, A former lottery pick is on this team and got zero minutes..

What the **** is steve kerr doing..

Well he deserves what's coming to him :nod:

Not to mention Kuminga's trade value is tanked..good job Kerr.

That POS was deliberately hindering Tatum at the Olympics. Such a salty salty individual. And **** Steph Curry too and his mouth piece

Stop. You can’t possibly believe that. He may not be peak elite Steph every game, but I’m still not sure there’s anyone else playing I’d rather have take the shot with everything on the line.

Hack a Adams is a shame
League needs to do something about the blatant fouls that are not part of the play (Adams running the floor and fouled, Adams stands in the corner and two players jump him and foul etc, ball is nowhere near him and he isn't part of the play)
If it is an automatic flagrant or clear-path foul teams will stop this nonsense
