And he’s a better dude than player. But I would absolutely not want to be the guy he flips his lid over if he ever does. Guy is so stoic and chill…not sure what it would take to piss him off, but look the **** out if he does. Don’t think k I’ve ever heard of him wrestling crocodiles, but if I did I’d be ‘yeah, that fits’.

Dude you didn't have him on your team like we did. What we saw this series is who Fred is. He shows up some games and he doesn't other games. Rockets will live and die on his shot and let's see how entertaining it is for Rockets' fans the rest of the playoffs. The Rockets fans were getting on FVV already. Broadcasters were kind by not trashing him earlier in the series. FVV is trash and treasure. You don't know what you'll get from him.

You're just reacting to the fellating Doris and the other dude has been doing on Fred because they got nobody else they can on Rockets. Yes he's a point guard who keeps his team organized. He learned to impact the game in different ways like Lowry and he contributes that way. He's a key piece on the Rockets but he didn't do this single-handedly.

Fred is over-tasked due to the Rockets not having any other reliable perimeter creators or ballhandlers. He looks out of his depth sometimes but its because Houston's crappy guard play puts a huge burden of responsibility of him.

If Houston had an all-star caliber SG or SF who could run the offense, I suspect FVV wouldn't have these crazy production fluctuations..

My money is on Draymond.

Right. But let’s stop this conversation right there, please. Post Traumatic Post Season Stress Disorder is no joke.

I also really want to see Adams vs Gobert in the next round. I think that would be a really really fun matchup to watch for a few games. The Warriors don't really have a big like Gobert who can possibly go toe to toe with Adams on the boards.

You guys converted me the more I watched you. That defense is no joke.

Perk spitting truth. Winning a game down 2-3 is a big win.

Great insight.

The league wants the Warriors and the refs will most certainly do their best to help but still I think the Rockets are just too much and will advance fairly easily in game 7. Too bad for the league, as the Rockets have just about zero marketable faces on the roster.

People focused on their record with Jimmy, and though it was impressive, that schedule was extremely soft. I’m talking wizards and hornets without Lamelo every other night. I think it helped build their chemistry and they will always be a tough out, but some folks have so been expecting too much. This aint the 73 win Dubs

Oh, I know, but he’d fly over. Only been there once, but don’t all flights go through Auz?

Who wins?
