Finding myself rooting for The Rockets cause Steve Kerr and his sideline antics really are annoying lol

Good fightback by the Dubs though

Butler fouled during the Verizon commercial, shakes it off and calmly cans the free throws. Gotta admire his grit.

In all seriousness, a LOT was made about how the Rockets would have to adjust to the playoff officiating…did ANYONE think it meant this?

Steph or bust for the Warriors.

Dubs look so easy for the Rockets to defend with them just daring everyone not named Curry to shoot.

GS needs to keep it close and hope their experience pays off.

Most of the NBA superstars are just handpicked and embellished by the NBA Illuminati,

Real superstars don't need an abundance of super help :lol:!
