Curry is such an unclutch player. If Kevin puss Durant never joined them he would only have 2 rings

This is where Udoka earns his money

Team full of role players and a scrub in Jalen Green. Lets see what he cooks up.

You can't touch the shooter. Plain and simple.


You can if the contact is marginal.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

He’s not unclutch per se but he’s also a bit more up and down than people give him credit for.

They gotta run a big lineup or if Payton is in, they’re gonna run Sengun P&R again

No Şengün and no Adams in those last possessions, Udoka is so puzzling

Got lucky and no infuriating offensive rebounds at least for once

Sure you can't. LMAO. Have you not watched much the last 2 years? There are so many slaps across the arms not called now it's ridiculous. Only reason it was called is because it's Butler.

Sengun has to touch the ball. Warriors will double you gotta trust him to make the right play.

If Van Fleek doesn't shoot this last shot for Houston Udoka should fire himself after the game.
