Oh F it. If this is Steph and Jimmy then send us the goddamn Rockets.

At least they have some GD pride

Steph should have gotten his fourth foul with that push on Amen but instead Brooks got his third with no contact.

When you know the refs will give Jimmy that call, just do not reach in. Let him take the shot.

So bizarre that you have series where guys aren't getting called for anything like the Nuggets/Clippers and then you have this series where there isn't even contact.

Def hasn’t gone unnoticed by me either lmao

Wow, another Rocket foul on Butler in the locker room, can’t underrate Jimmy’s veteran savvy.

Jalen Green is a frontrunner in the worst way. Bro, is Gerald Green basically.

Oh there’s contact. Just not when Butler has the ball, you can’t even look at that dude.

yeah supposed to be our 3rd best offensive player but avg like 10 a game on 50%TS in the series.. Brutal.

It looks like rockets figured out how to defend the warriors in half court. I was thinking Kerr is keeping the solution for game 6 but he has none. That zone is killing them, especially when Adams is in

i can only imagine the whining about the calls in the 2nd half since it’s expected that the Warriors will get the favorable whistles there.

Rockets look the better team but in truth both are pants.

It was always my concern for OKC entering the playoffs. During the regular season they were able to play super physical perimeter defense and then get a soft whistle on the other side.

If they have a match up where the refs are like this they are in trouble. Only SGA will get to the line for them and if they aren't allowed to mug dudes then they may have issues. Especially if they have to face guys like Jimmy who get phantom calls for nothing.

During the halftime studio discussion, Rockets fouled Butler three times, only two were called. Refs clearly want Rockets to win, Butler now shooting a blistering 87/88 from the line in the game.

Definitely being reffed to keep warriors in this game. Iam not surprised though.

They’ll def encounter it as a young rising team. Other superstars get superstar calls, warranted or not, just how the leagues always been.

They sure try hard, but it won't be enough, as the Rockets are the better team. Could be that we have now finally reached the point where the league has to face the inevitable and move on from Lebron, Curry and KD to the next generation.

Who wins?
