How wild is it that in addition to his 3 pt shooting, curry is one of the best finishers in the league?

Sengun around the rim has been horrific.

The entire Rockets team is so unskilled especially for a 2 seed

Teams dont game plan or play at full effort for every game so athletic and hard defense teams win a lot of freebie games

Literally all year. 54.5% TS is simply atrocious for a guy with his shot diet.

Dude needs to go to the locker room and change his jersey and shoes. Just take your bench minutes to shed the stink.

This is one of the worst professional basketball games I’ve ever watched. It’s basically Curry and a bunch of bums.

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


Yep, even as an OKC fan, I'm rooting for Houston even though OKC would be an additional series removed.


I'm very curious how Memphis would have done this yr if Ime was the coach.

The Warriors tried to pull away with the signature “Curry flurry,” but they eventually started giving up easy drives to the rim, letting the Rockets hang around.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Hoooooow the **** did this Houston team become a 2nd seed. Im irrationally annoyed by that. Has to be an anomaly and they'll come back to earth next season and be a borderline 8th seed or something. Thats what they are.

We will never see another Steph Curry. Once in a lifetime player.
