Kerr has done this multiple times in the playoffs. It's very cringe.


I really don’t know how that guy has the nerve to preach to anyone. He’s insufferable.

It's even more hilarious that the Warriors are deploying this strategy since Adams is actually hitting his free throws.

During this great Warriors run they've always banked on being able to run 7 fters off the court. They haven't been able to run the Rockets bigs off the court in this series. And the double big lineup is just mauling GSW tonight.

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


Well i didn't say that. this is a garbage watch. And 100% players feel this is garbage as well. This isn't basketball.

Rockets gotta finish the job here and then take care of business at home. Got to come out with the same focus and intensity.

This is exactly why it was so dumb to punt on game 5. You have to take every chance you can to close out a series because things can flip quickly. Now Houston has all the momentum and are going home for the game 7

When you run out a lineup of Steph, Podz and Hield against size and athleticism and go 1-12 from three in the quarter, this is the only possible result.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Watching some of the shots Green or even Sengun take, I'd rather have Adams take FTs at this point if I'm the Rockets

If Houston could magically swap out Jalen Green for AntMan, they'd be the best team in the world lol

Hack-a-Adams is just telling the world Kerr has zero belief in their defense.

just not good enough. Podz Buddy supposed to be the offense but they had 1 good game combined in 6 games. There is no offense from anywhere. I swear those 80 teams have better shooters and finishers. Even somehow we pull a miracle we will be swept by wolves or okc.
