Green and Thompson are just not giving the Rockets anything. Pretty frustrating to watch.

Udoka is wise to give some of the bench guys a shot here because they can't win with only fred and sengun. Someone else needs to contribute.

This is his 9th year in the league and the best one yet.

I wondered weeks ago if he'd get most improved award. Came in second I saw the other day

Rockets hanging in there. Been a more competitive series than I thought. I had high hopes for the Warriors but not so sure they have it in them to go on a big run. Their lack of size and depth will be a problem in the later rounds.

I pray the refs won’t steal this one from the Rockets at the end (they’re clearly the better team of the two) but that’s exactly the feel of this game.

TWolves will beat the Warriors in 5-6 games. All GS has going for it is playoff experience from their top 3 and the TWolves have a bunch of that now themselves after the last few years.

With the Lakers out, Silver and ESPN will really want GSW to advance.

Cleveland, OKC, Houston are not the ratings darlings the league will want.

Warriors came out trying to deny Fred the ball.

I think amen will seize the opportunity here. He started playing better in the second quarter. There is an open lane here to take the offense over.

Honestly...just bench green at this point. He is either on or off and tonight he is off. They will better to give some bench guys his minutes.

FVV is so clutch, he’s been totally disrespected by this fanbase for his contributions to that 2019 run

Watching how polished Sengun is offensively makes me so sad... Kid is bringing up the ball, initiating the offense, and making plays.

I can see our team giving a lot of teams trouble next season. We need either Cooper, Queen and or Fleming.

We need a Powell kind of sg on our team, maybe that could be VJ but man I can't wait until next season.
