Why do people keep calling Butler, Robin? Does Robin usually have better stats and turn the whole team around?

Jalen Green and Sengun are gonna have to ball out.

Warriors have the 2 best players this series.

Warriors in 6.

The story on the Rockets coming into this series was lack of an elite 1st tier scorer, and they're really missing that in these broken possessions.

Call a time out Ime. Your veteran PG is running hot garbage on offense.

Eason looked scared to body up Jimmy, but why though? Just gave him a red carpet to the rim

Any team that has FVV as their starting PG come post season.

18-5 Warriors halfway into the 2Q.

These teams came to play defense, especially the Warriors.
