Rockets are 9th seed really.

embarassing performance regardless how you look at it. There's not much else the rockets can do too. They just don't have enough talent offensively to keep up. Rockets maybe get a game. But this should be done in 5.

Steph is old enough to be the father of half the players on the Rockets, and he's cooking them.

lol Jimmy Butler is so perfect on this team. Crazy that the Warriors are now a defensive team but when you got Green and Butler, that’s a clinic

I hope thats not the route Rockets are going.

Do they have a choice, all their other young talent is meh.

Brooks perfect form tackle on GP2, not a penalty

EASILY. It's **** crazy how they got the 2nd seed.

Nah Lebron made a living facing much easier high seeds back in the East. Why do you think he was in the Finals for that whole decade??? If he was in the West he would be more like Giannis, perennial MVP but only 1 championship.

Awful day for the NBA. Not a single competitive game all day.

i miss the loud Brooks. i think he has to go back to being the annoying as$hole just to inspire his teammates.

This is a 8th seed at best that probably won a bunch of games because players were half assing it during the regular season.

Their offense just won’t stack up when other teams dial up their effort.

I was saying this even earlier in the season when they were doing much better. Just too many below average offensive players and below average shooters, they rely heavily on grabbing offensive rebounds to get up more shot attempts than their opponent, not something that's as effective in the playoffs when the effort level is turned up.

Kawhi and Harden
Anthony Edwards, NAW, Naz Reid
Denver

Everyone was a crappy draw for them except for Memphis who sucks

Who gives a **** about lebron man? Im in a game thread involving GSW-Hou

GSW are the dark horse. We have 3 real contenders and GSW fighting for the title, everybody else is irrelevant.

It’s game 1. You guys should know better by now.

Impuniti · Post #658 » by **Impuniti** » Mon Apr 21, 2025 3:09 am

I hope Steph can figure out how to score on this team. Just based of several high IQ posts on this thread before the game, you guys were right to be worried about him.

Amen looks pretty good, but I don't know if he looks better than Sengun. They're locked into this roster as they can't tank anymore. Like you said, they don't have a choice but to try and build around this core.

Brooks falling into and tackling Payton looked so intentional I'm surprised Payton didn't get mad lol

Who wins?
