Green's chucking on defense is one thing but him just letting guys blow by him with his athleticism is inexcusable.

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:

He just did it again. He's trying to be clever, it's annoying


Bro I’m tellin you it’s so annoying :lol: I wanna see if he does it for one that looks to be in and rattles out

Ok, Rox can’t hang on. Brooks knew they were just a punch away from a knockout and that why he has to give up that foul. And that GP2 backdoor cut might be the knockout punch.

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.

Memphis still have Ja, Bane and JJJ who are all FAR better than anyone Houston has.

Why though? They're together and suck. Shouldn't they have been able to get the Suns into the playoffs?

This kind of defensive game, a 5 pt lead feels like 20.

Draymond is a hell of a defender.

It was the same when the Rockets were leading for 90% of the game.
