The entire Warriors team is playing so gingerly

This one is 100% over if you've watched the Warriors in the past. This is the typical half-ass game they do when they are in complete control of the series. It will all come down to game 6.

No energy and the guy is the worst. He doesn’t know how to call a game. Ian eagle is 100x better

Dude keeps saying “Mmm” every second sentence, and Candace sounds like she’s reading from a script. Turrible. NBA needs a media reset on all levels

I will say that the Rockets are rough enough offensively, and the Warriors are explosive enough offensively with Steph and Butler, that the Warriors making up 20 points in a quarter is not totally out of the question. They need to shake the cobwebs though. Last couple minutes have had a better focus.

I said it the other day. Spero Dedes sounds like he is doing an impression of a broadcaster rather than calling the game.

Memo to the league and rockets. You cant leave GP open anymore.

This has been a great series and the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA finals.

Im starting to believe it more and more. If you’re allowed to play 90’s defense on curry he’s not as good as this era made him to be.
