Teams did this against Andre Drummond against us for years and the response from every fanbase always "the solution is to make your FTs"

So yeah, no sympathy from me. Make your FTs. Wont make a difference in this game anyway

Just treat it like a tech and let them pick any of their guys to shoot it. Make it an actual penalty.

Does Kerr not realize that hacking Adams this early essentially ices the game for HOU?

Disgraceful product. I say this as someone that wants to see GSW-Wolves.

Disgraceful.

Theres still a chance Warriors pull off the comeback win but the energy between these young Rockets & the two big lineup really is like Kryptonite to the Warriors rn.

Fix for the hack-a-strategy: If a team fouls you 3 times in a row intentionally, you get to commit one foul uncalled on the other end.

Steph Curry with a bad behind the back pass that goes out of bounds in a series where he was up 3-1...

Adams is shooting with a ton of confidence. Kerr read this whole thing wrong it’s dumb

Hacking Adams like he's Shaq or Ben Wallace freethrow shooter, he was 4/10 from the line after that but he's not the guy you want to implement that tactic on. Awful coaching

Kerr is an idiot. HOU has no offense. GS is better off playing defense straight up instead of giving away free points at the ft line
