Incoming 25 pt blowout. See you in Game 3.

Thanks. We can all get some sleep now.

Rockets just win ugly. You're not going to see them win big or pull away. Not what they're built for.

If I was in charge of the slogan for this Houston Playoff run, it would be Crush the Midgets. That would look so cool on t-shirts and billboards.

How can I take Charles seriously when he says stuff like he had no idea Sengun could spin like this.

Anyone who has watched Sengun >0 games knows about his spinning, to the degree that some have said it’s too predictable. No wonder his ‘young team/doesn’t know how to play’ routine sounds like Old Man Yelling At Cloud, he’s not even watching the team, he’s just leaning into cliches.

I really don't get why some people need to go above and beyond to lie like that. I guess they need to take all the wins they can get in life

I just saw the replay.
It's only fitting that Draymond's questionable shove on Amen led to Jimmy's injury.

I got mad watching OKC this year and how much they get away with but seeing everything Draymond is allowed to do puts the OKC enabling into perspective.

There's no point to talk about it. People are purposely ignoring reality and making things up even when they get confronted. It's disgusting that the refs didn't review the call either.

Rockets have 2x as many FTs and rebounds. If Warriors can remotely close the gap, this 'might' become a game. Otherwise, time to pack it in.

Crazy that Draymond could literally have 4 techs called on him in one half yet not a single one has been called lol smdh

It's nuts what the league lets him get away with.
