Green telling anyone to call any foul is rich.
All human life on the earth is like grass, and all human glory is like a flower in a field. The grass dries up and its flower falls off, but the Lord’s word endures forever.

Why would Amen react to a Podz ghost screen? Just stick to Curry regardless, ignore everything else.

Worst 2 seed we've ever seen.

If Amen is going to be so indecisive on offense, you need to give Eason and Jabari more minutes. He's not even on Curry for a lot of possessions.

If Butler has any chance of coming back in this series, Houston will be kicking themselves if they don't win this game. Can't squander this opportunity.

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

This is an absolute must win. And if I were an LA or MIN fan I'd be cheering like crazy for Houston
