I really enjoy watching Houston play. They are so much more athletic than 90% of teams in the league

Wow, I'm surprised. What a turnaround for these Rockets after many had counted them out.

Warriors are COOKED! The Rockets are the one playing like a veteran team. Will the Warriors go back to their desperate defensive scheme of hack a Adam since they apparently can't guard a cone right now. :lol:

I once played while still somewhat drunk. I was sweating tequila and shooting weird baby hooks in the paint because I am short and played against a kid and his dad that were 6'7"

TIL I am proto-Sengun.. just at 5'7"

The deficit in both size and athleticism that the Warriors are operating in is crazy. It is amazing they are this close to overcoming it actually.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

To everyone comparing Butler to Harden, please remember Butler is getting these calls in the playoffs.

Can’t believe how many Rockets fans were crapping on FVV in their subreddit earlier in the series - wanting him gone asap in their off-season. These young guys would be panicking like headless chickens without him.

If they let both teams play it out.. Houston would face OKC in the WCF(they are better than the TWolves). The Rockets are a very good team overall without only a goto scorer as everyone knows

From my observations, this seems very true. I'm sure the numbers would back it up. Any beef between them? or just wanting to rise up against an all time great? either way pretty cool.

curry can't close. he can't even get a shot off that's not forced. how can you be a #1 option when you can't get your own shot. would be hilarious if he loses a 2nd series up 3-1
