Warriors are just too experienced. If they can't beat the Dubs without Jimmy, it's hopeless.

This is great training for future Rockets playoff runs.
Rest in peace Kobe & Gianna

Jalen green the role player. This is what they do. One game then another game turns into a below average player. Just up and down up and down

Warriors with a healthy Butler are going to be a tough out.

Sengun is overrated but Green? Dude is horrendous. He'd fit in with tanking teams posting numbers on horrible efficiency.

Amen Thompson looks like Jared Vanderbilt. Dude has zero offensive game. Absolute zero.

They shouldnt build around them either cause they both have major offensive deficiencies. Jalen Green should be a #3 option for a contender.

9 poins. Dude is such a fraud.

This is what he does. Single digits. 30 point game. Single digits. 26 point game.

Apparently that transfers into the playoffs.


Is this a Monta Ellis situation with Shep waiting in the wings?

Amen may be the most elite athletic wing defender in the league, but he's in Curry's world every time

Sengun is the Rockets' all-star. The guy is 7-18 from the floor, 1-6 from the line with 4 turnovers. You can blame Jalen Green and I won't stop you, but Sengun has to play better. The missed shots fine. The free throws, not so much.

Udoka needs to play Jabari Smith Jr more. They need shooting on the floor.

I think Houston is the worst team in the playoffs. Memphis would have been way more fun.

these guys cant score. They literally have zero scorers on their team.

Alen Green getting mad because Dtay probably called him trash.

What’s Jalen Green pissed about, did he even play in this one?
