Curry just owns this franchise. No other way to put it.

Houston looks like near bottom offensive team. Just goes to show playoffs things switch up. They have no reliable offensive.

Jalen Green is an absolute scrub man.

Rockets' guards need to play better--shooting, passing, defense, all of it.

Yikes, 34 points half...
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

Jalen Green is not that guy. Wonder if the Suns try to finesse him off the Rockets for Durant.

Torpedoed himself into VanVleet after, too. Talk about out of control...

Rockets' offense is putrid
Jalen out of control as always, FVV clanking everything
It's basically pass it to Sengun and hope he scores

Refs allowing Warriors to be physical on defensive end, wish they did the same for Rockets.

Yea but the rockets are an underdog everywhere especially in betting odds not to mention everyone at espn except for Bobby marks picked the warriors to win the series


Betting odds / Vegas odds are not reaitic or relevant. They only exist to make money. They rely on human emotions just like the casinos.


Betting odds and spreads are usually pretty accurate though almost all of the time

This is why Toronto fan base gets frustrated with FVV. He's just so inconsistent with his shooting. And his crappy finishing. He's great at everything else.
