Teams are never out of it these days, plenty of time. But maybe Kerr rests his starters again /s

I like to think Timberwolves started the trend with the Gobert trade :)


That and dallas success with lively/gafford surely helped, as okc also went to a double center roster after losing to it

jfc these god damn refs man.. Steph fouls FVV and they call it on Jimmy for bumping Adams 15ft away. Adams to the FT line instead of FVV and Curry doesn't get his 5th.

This is getting pretty ridiculous. Being 100% honest, it must be weird to be a Warrior, you have to be surprised whenever you do get called for anything.

Houston should leave Jalen Green in the Bay if they want to win on Sunday

Gotta say, I like how these Rockets play.

As an aside, prior to the 2023 draft lottery, if the Spurs had missed out on getting the #1 pick/Wemby, I really would have liked them to take Amen Thompson in the draft as a hypothetical consolation prize. I know his shooting is far from polished, but he's a blur out there. A surreal athlete.

This reminds me of when the Kings smoked the dubs in game 6 a couple years ago. For Houston's sake, i hope Curry doesn't do to you what he did to us in game 7
