I think it's just Mark Jones assuming it's going in

I’m a Knicks fan. Walt Clyde Frazier does this often but for misses. When a player lets the shot go, he’ll say “Uhh uhh” or “WAY off!!” :lol:

If Sengun was even shooting FT at RS numbers this game is tied.

We're here, it's just more fun to enjoy the game than to talk to you guys.

He’s only good on GLeague Ignite basketball style during NBA regular season, specially when teams were tanking and load managing.

I swear Rockets whole offense has been Dillon Brooks this quarter.

It's truth! If my team looked like 5 Westbrooks on offense i'd stay away from the GB as well. Hell i'd be surprised if they even hang in their own forums. I'd just stay in a dark corner watching my team in shame.

Everyone wanting this kind of contribution from Kuminga, but it’s Hield who’s stepping up.

Sure there’s the consistent turnover and questionable shot but scoring-wise that’s Jimmy’s production and should be big for the Warriors if they are going to pull the W off this game:

Hield's always been a frustrating player going back to his Sacramento days, because when he's on there's not a team in the league that wouldn't want him, but he's just so inconsistent.

Warriors definitely need him to keep playing like this.

Yes the ultimate definition or what a streaky player is. Timing those good streaks and performing this well with Butler out is just what the Warriors needed.

Steph will be blitzed these final minutes so am predicting a clutch 3 from Hield to give the Warriors the victory.

Cause he's a chucker. Just like JR Smith, Arenas, and Iverson. You tolerated Arenas and Iverson because every now and then they could put up a couple of 40pt games and even some 50pt games. But efficiency wise they're all maddening to watch. As a Bucks fan it was tough to watch Brandon Jennings just being given the greenlight to chuck endlessly too

The way the Rockets are getting torched in this thread right now, you'd think the Warriors were up 20.

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.


Nah he Vando with a longer leash :lol: :lol:

Houston's biggest sin in this whole rebuild has been not drafting/acquiring/developing an elite get-a-bucket guy, and it's really killing them right now.

Every other serious playoff team in the west has one. Only Memphis doesn't. Shai (1), Luka (3), Jokic (4), Kawhi (5), Ant (6), Curry (7).

In their defense, these kind of players don't exactly grow on trees. If/when they do get one, they're going to be scary.

Arenas was very efficient before injuries got to him what are you even talking about.
