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


We went from best to worst homecourt advantage once the VC crowd became warrior fans and the team moved to SF :(
Rest in peace Kobe & Gianna

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


Draymond was tied for a game high +17 (despite only scoring 6 points on 7 shots), including phenomenal defense on the crucial stop -- if Sengun makes that, good chance Houston wins. Draymond's defense was a *huge* part of GS winning tonight.

Decided the game.

NBA just can't be real.

THJ has Hart run through half of his airspace = sleep
Jimmy Butler gets a tickle on his tummy = real sh#%

The NBA has a consistency issue and this is a big f#$king deal when you are in bed with the sports books.

Jalen Green would be way cooler if he did something other than scoring Draymond numbers.

Ya I hate to see it.

I'm pulling for the Warriors, but I don't like that weak BS deciding a game.

Rockets didn't help themselves by missing all those free throws, though.

they are barely outrebounding lakers, they wont kill GSW on the boards the way Houston is. Gobert is big but plays small

I'm not sure about all that but the Warriors are just playing against a defense in these games, not offense. GS has no answer for Ant and no rim protection like LA.


The Warriors might not have rim protection but they protect the lane at a high level.

Warriors match up well with Minny and won the season series before the Butler trade.

All the Rockets have to do is hit their free throws and they can win this series.

Rockets fans coming up with the theories after their man Brooks instigated all game and almost got Dray ejected? Did the rigged NBA made them miss all those FTA?

I don't get this. Isn't raucous cheering what home crowds are supposed to do?
Only 7 Players in NBA history have 21,000 points, 5,750 assists and 5,750 rebounds. LeBron has double those numbers.

No but they made sure not to toss Dray or make him pick up his sixth foul in eight minutes of play. Nothing new though seen this story one too many times.

OT but the Heat have to be the worst team to get into the playoffs I think I've ever seen.
