This site was just saying how much better Sengun is than Duren. I mean, he is actually playing against guys smaller than him and dancing out there. He needs to play a lot stronger and finish around the basket. I'd give that first half a D from him. He should be playing better than this.

I am amazed this is a 3 point game. It reminds of that game 5 in 2021 between bucks and nets

Still, light years ahead of whatever Rockets try to do on offense.

Murray can shoot and is efficient though. Green is just useless.

Have you seen Houstons offense fam? Looks like China during Maos reign.

Question is by end of the game do we get game 1 Jalen Green or game 2... because we aren't getting in-between it seems. Good or bad game.

Would you trade Curry's supporting cast for Giannis or Jokic's supporting cast?

is this a trick question? Green Podz Moody JK for Gordon MPJ Murray Braun? :lol:


Today - through 1st half

Code: Select all

            PTS    REB   AST   BLK   STL   TOV   TS%
Jokic        36      21  8     1       2    2    .651
Rest of DEN  65      26  20    3       5    10  .489

Curry        15       4  2     1       0    2   .587
Rest of GSW  31      20  8     1       3     4    .427


And the warriors are playing w/o Butler. You have to be a complete homer to think GSW has done a worst job building around Curry than Denver in Jokic

I will. he's the best defensive player of his generation and an extremely smart offensive player. He understand 5-5 basketball as well as any player I've seen in my life.


:lol: We're two and a half games into the series. Draymond Green has 15 points on 5-17 shooting and 5 assists/10 turnovers. "Extremely smart offensive player" He has been completely and utterly useless on offense all series.


I don't evaluate 13 yr careers on two and a half games.
