You’ll never win a game when you miss 12 fts. That being said, that foul on Brook was sus. Bailing a team out in a tight game over marginal contact is bs. People calling it a push need to stop being soft, guys are getting away with far more in this series.

Dubs have been playing with Butler like they have been for years. They have the chemistry unlike the Lakers.

Wolves are cooked. Lakers didn't have a DPOY level player like Green either.

Seems weird for a Lakers fan to be rooting so highly for the Dubs. Thought both fanbases hated each other ?

We love Curry.

Draymond think he the star of the game was hilarious.

NBA is a joke with these cameras and Reggie Miller caught in 4k celebrating Draymond is disgusting. Call the game you fool you're not supposed to be sucking off Draymond all game long smh

Pretty much. The Rockets overachieved this year. But I know the Warriors aren't going anywhere either.

Depends on the whistle. Ant finally got FTAs in the last game but the dude had 26 FGAs and ZERO FTAs in Game 3.

Wolves are the hottest team in the playoffs with arguably the best lineup in the entire playoff as well. If they stays the Wolves won't have much trouble against this Warriors team.

Houston should trade for Trae Young. He would have won the game for them.

Looked like he tightened up late, but they obviously don’t win without his great shooting earlier on.

If Kyrie didn't bail LeBron out in 2016 and AD didn't join the Lakers, LeBron would have just 2 titles.

Ray Allen also bailed him out in 2013. So be only has 1 in 2012. But that was a shortened season too. So more like 0.75 legitimate championships for Bron.

And if Kelly Olynyk didn't dislocate Love's shoulder and Kyrie didn't get injured and Kevin Durant wasn't a bitch, LeBron would have 6.

Rockets are 44-75 from the free throw line in their 3 losses.

Yea I doubt that was the play - they wanted FVV to set a pick to switch his man onto Sengun, Dray just stood his ground and it didn't happen so the play then broke apart and ended in that messy hook

The best whistle in NBA history

There isn’t an athlete in the world, in any sport that is reffed like this dude. It’s unbelievable.

People talking about Dray, but i'm over here thinking how bad the guards of the HOU Rockets must be that the play for game was essentially a 25 foor iso from your center...

Like seriously, that was ridiculous, and the worst part is that I actually agree with the call for the most part.

Fred, Green, and Amen literally provide nothing for this team on offense when it's needed, and it's sad. Green was drafted to be that guy, but once again, he's just a single digit boxscore.

I'm praying to God for a major trade this offseason if im a Rockets fan, this offense is legit brutal, and no one can score outside of 15 feet consistently

That Dillon Brooks foul on Butler's 3 pointer was soooo dumb.

Heaps of Silicon/Bitcoin Valley Boomers.

Good luck to them though, Warriors played like garbage and still won though.

Curry didn't play well but most of their other main rotation guys did more than we could usually ask for. Especially considering what we got from an injured Jimmy.

Was Jordan bailed out by Paxson and Kerr?

They better hope the Wolves miss half their FTs like the Rockets.

Nah you gotta take away the 2016 one bec Bronnie cried to get Draymond suspended, so best case scenario 5 which is still less than Jordan

Who wins?
