Jimmy Butler is the best ref ball plyer this game has ever seen.
Raul
“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

I really want a ref to explain what they are seeing with Butler that lets him get such a great whistle. It has to be something specific he does

Just shows the eliteness of defense at the NBA level. The Rockets players can't even dribble at all, looks like they're on the court against 12 defenders.
NBA basketball players are good.
Just imagine how good defenses would be if players weren’t allowed to constantly get away with carrying and traveling

when a Rocket doesn't go hero and pass it around instead of forcing a shot, they can score

Jabari Smith Jr would look good in the purple & gold next to Luka.

Jalen was really improving handling doubles/playmaking late in the year, but it’s mostly regressed in these playoffs. Ime has to calm him down a bit, though in fairness he preaches aggression in almost every other aspect of the game.
The officiating has been about what I expected, unfortunately.

Draymond dribbles it out of bounds and yells at a ref about it.
