FVV alone would have this tied if he wasn’t bricking everything. Maybe even the lead. Then there’s Green …

Jimmy intentionally gives 70-80% effort during the regular season to save energy and has been doing that for years at this point


Other stars need to learn from that :lol:


Well, it is the entire reason the Spurs invented load management.

he also completely disappears for quarters and halves even during his "Playoff P" games like this 3rd quarter. He's the weirdest guy in NBA history. It's like a flip gets switched and he just goes through the motions out there on a whim. Never know which version you're going to get


Jimmy has top grade plot armour as well as a generational whistle. People completely disregard his bad games and only focus on the good things.

Looked like Green got fouled and Curry didn't establish position across halfcourt.

Stephen Curry drained a 3pointer on Amen Thompson's face. This is why Curry is so good.

Amazing shot by Curry. Best shooter ever. I was actually saying that before he won his first title. :lol:

Adams completely changed the game. GSW can't deal with him.

Goodness gracious, James Capers. A three-second grace period with that foul on Podz?

Watching Sengun have success in his first playoff game, I wonder if Derik Queen might have simply impact.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.
