2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #2 Houston Rockets vs #7 Golden State Warriors (GSW leads 3-1)

[kodo]

We just had 20 minutes of replays and he comes another challenge. This is the worst kind of game to watch.

It's damn near midnight and we not even at halftime. NBA should be ashamed of this nonsense tonight.

This is probably one of the best games of the playoffs so far, it's been awesome.

Easy flagrant on dirty ass Butler. Piece of ****.

Floppers don’t get rewarded

Tell that to Nicole

Nicole lowkey looks like the penguin. Dont know if thats a reward.

Or no that was the one in the bubble. What was her name?

[JimmyPlopper]

Seriously not giving Butler a flagrant there because he's so fake tough. This league is seriously so cooked.

U serious?

To be honest, I thought it was a flagrant one on the first time watching it live until I saw the replay. I think being up in the air made Brooks move more dramatically

[rockmanslim]

I guess he doesn’t just do it to Euros? I’m surprised he didn’t do a Spinaroonie after that Booker T scissor’s kick

He hates everyone come on now

No mental issues there

Draymond vs. Metta might be PPV worthy

[Mamba Mentality]

don’t fall for the bait Dillon

lol at this deluded take. Brooks just successfully shat all over the game to his team's benefit and we get posts like this in the midst of it. He obviously wasn't responsible for all of that nonsense but he was the one who started it and he kept at it too.

You clearly don’t know what I was referring to…

Yeah I'm serious that Butler is fake tough. Everyone knows he is. Karma will be a bitch when he keeps trying his luck though with being a dirty pos.

Not if you like to watch actual basketball.

[levon]

The issue with the Butler foul is not that he hit him on the arm, it's that Brooks is going full speed and is in the air defenseless. Should have at least been looked at. But I can give the refs a pass since it is Brooks.

Clearly looked like he pushed him in the back. On replay you're not gonna see much but at full speed he goes flying. That's a F1 if players were reversed.

[Patches Perry]

In real time I thought it was flagrant on Butler but on the replay it didn't look that bad.

Agreed, though imo under the circumstances it would have been called a lot of the time. But yeah, not a bad call.

Unfortunately a lot of plays in this game will be graded on a curve, or it will never finish lol. You're right that it would be called or at least reviewed in a normal game, but we were like 3 reviews deep within 15 minutes.

[ejftw]

I'm honestly not sure what's been worse, the officiating or Reggie's commentary

[Impuniti]

So Houston is allowed to foul, push, shove, hit, intentionally injure Steph during this series, yet Draymond and Steph got two fouls at the end of the game for the most pathetic excuse of touch fouls you can find.

Can we at least be **** consistent? If you're going to ref a physical game, then stick to it. Don't pick sides to extend the series. Absolute clowns.

[ShotCreator]

Completely unimpressed with Podziemski. He cant even make a basic entry pass. Insanely low skill level for his size.

Not sure if serious

Memphis should have held on to that Brooks guy

Question is, who will have more composure to start the 3Q? Warriors are rattled but they have a pissed off Steph/Jimmy and lucky they still have Draymond.

The Rockets have successfully mucked it up— will the refs allow as much physicality the rest of the second half?

There is some great people on both sides

[rockmanslim]

On that replay, Draymond had no reason to roll onto Eason. Made no sense unless he was intentionally trying to roll his legs onto Eason's head

[Harry Palmer]

Not sure why it never occurred to me before that all the TNT guys are bald.


Ok, that was all I had to say except I’m waiting for Charles to say something like he didn’t know Curry could shoot before.

[runtmc]

They must think Steph has super soldier serum if he’s able to push Eason that far.

When someone is in the air, it doesn’t actually take that much, drag is substantially lowered.

Has nothing to do with drag, it's because your feet arent touching the ground, the pushing force has no friction with the ground to overcome first.

But also, Curry didnt have his hands on him when he was in the air. The "push" was before Eason left his feet.
