Sengun is a drunk crackhead.

I like Jimmy and don't think he's a foul baiter to the level others do, like he doesn't flop and hook guys like Brunson. But I would not miss the refs kissing his **** ass at all. They call for him like they all play poker together in the offseason.

If the Rockets are able to get away with playing 2 bigs, Warriors just cant compete. These Adams/Sengun minutes are killing them

Sengun hit him in the mouth. Its F1 by definition

I don't think this Warriors team believes in themselves. There's such a distinct lack of confidence in the way they play, just pass to Curry and inshaallah

I got this series right, feels good. Get Houston a closer and you have a Finals team. Two Game 7's this weekend boys.

I swear the Warriors announcers are the worst. How disconnected from reality do you have to be to make a comment like that?

This is Steve Kerr pulling all the wrong cards - sure your offense sux but playing Podz/Buddy over Looney/Santos is just not a good idea. You put your entire hope on some terrible offensive role players. Slow grinding out is the way but he aint doing it

Worst broadcast team in sports. Actively trying to make their viewers dumber.

One of the few times Steph Curry looked human. Probably tired of carrying these bums

Hacking off the ball should be a take foul
