I really dont know if Houston would be able to beat any of the other West playoff teams in a series even Memphis. Their offense is putrid.

EDIT: that is both NBA and ABA. NBA he was 10th


Manu probably not far either. They've been in the playoffs forever. Pretty sure they have one of the largest playoff games played together as a trio.

I’m aware of how great Tony was but him being THAT high blows my mind wow

Deep playoff runs for the better part of two decades. Tatum and Brown should be up there eventually. They aren't even 30 yet and have almost 130 playoff games. Getting into the playoffs when you are that young makes a big difference. Parker was on the Spurs at 19.

Also Ginobili was 26

Same play. Send 2 to Curry, and nobody picks up GP on the roll.

GP2 the only Warrior on the court who matches the Rockets in terms of physicality and quickness.

Jared Vanderbilt.

Ignorant comment. He's much more like Ben Simmons back when Simmons was in his prime. Ben had similar issues in the playoffs. You need 4 shooters around these guys.

I think he meant accidentally on purpose.

Not a good night for my boy Alpie but it Rockets can survive this to sneak a win it'd be massive

Momentum and experience fully on the Warriors side tho

Memphis and Houston would have all time "stupid off" but I see Memphis taking that series, just due to their best player being so much better than Houston's.
