He almost didn't shoot that one too.

Time for Kerr to bench the rotation guys
Jokic 31/21/22
Luka & Oscar = 5 x 27/8/8
The Brodie = All-out energy

With so many one sided blowout series, nba wanted to make sure warriors lose this one. Exp know when to call the fouls, will again swallow the whistle if warriors miraculously get close.
Good lord.
The most reliable predictor of ftas is point in the paint. Check the series stats on both. You are absolutely right that something is off, but…
War does not determine who is right, only who is left.

Although I am being tough on him, there are some scenarios where its obviously not the best shot that he can give an extra pass..van vleet is such a strealy scorer needed a guy who will not compete with him.with touches ( a veteran star).
Houston is by committee scoring team he should get points thru layups and the foul line he is too thin to do it right now..

Yes, he should try to become like Aaron Gordon, imo.

Pat Spencer being the Warriors second-leading scorer in the 4th quarter after only 9 minutes of play does not seem like a recipe for success lol
They desperately need Jimmy back

Jumping in the air and not knowing what you're gonna do with it is a high school level mistake that Jabari Smith just made. Rockets need to get better at passing to people and not places.

Even in the play in warriors depth outside jimmy and steph is already a question mark..they cant sustain a series averaging 80 points..they really need to unload kuminga and get some depth next season.

I dunno about you but I haven't seen JK show the BBIQ needed to be like Aaron Gordon. The kid is an athlete but that is about it rn. He needs to do some serious development this offseason.

They're also milking the shot clock, like they want the game to be over. They should be trying to score and take the first available great shot. This is bad offense.
