It's gonna be OK when they turn that contract into KD or Booker in the offseason.

If Houston trade for KD it’s gonna be disaster #3 after Brooklyn and Phoenix

Houston doesn’t need KD in their locker room and on the floor either

It is a shame we don't have a clone of Ant Edwards. Imagine this Rockets team with that dude? Pure entertainment.

Houston got 3% chance for Flagg with that Phoenix rerouted by Nets pick

100%. I thought it was dumb also. These guys are professionals.

They closed the gap a bit with the garbage time players to get the starters back in didn't they? I couldn't believe he just punted on it no matter how good it got.

He never put the starters back in even after the bench cut the lead down to 11 or 12 with plenty of time left

I wonder if Steve feels like he found a home and will not test FA. He's a Udoka type of player and Houston waited a long time for him to get healthy. Definitely paying dividends now.

Edit , and of course I want the Nets to get no1 overall , but if not Nets I don’t condone hard tanking teams get it so I’m good if they get this with their 3% :lol:

Someone will test him with a serious offer. I’d love him to stay, but not blame him if he took the bag, it’ll probably be his last and best shot. But he also strikes me as a guy for whom money isn’t everything.

That was a good game. The refs were good in that they played no role. No excessive physicality, just good old playoff basketball. The rockets are not to be joked with, it felt like the Warriors somehow took their win for granted. But if the Steph miracle 3's dont fall there's very little left of their offense. I'm not sure they can turn it around in game 7, i'd bet on houston now. Houston - Min will be very interesting.

He is only 31 so he may be good for another but this is probably his last big bag.

Although we have seen how sparse the Center market is with all the "Who could the Laker's actually get at C next year talk"

That position is feast or famine.

That would suck. The double big with Sengun is something special and they both can be independent as well. What would really be deadly is if Sengun gets a 3 ball going and a better mid range game like Jokic has.

Ummm… hack a Adams is the free throw disparity right there. Butler and Curry got plenty of touch fouls

I posted that before they started hacking Adams in the 4th

Strictly talking basketball, I think Houston advancing would result in a much more enticing and entertaining series against Minnesota. Can't see it ending well for the Warriors going up against all that youth, athleticism, size and hunger, pretty much the same issues as the Lakers.

Happy for him. Thought a dude his size with a major knee issue that took longer than expected to heal was career toast.

Kerr needs to play Spencer 20 minutes on Sunday. Give him GP2's minutes. He has proven this series he can be a serious spark plug. I assume his defense is awful but GP2 blows and Post blows also. I'm sick of both of them

MoreyWins · Post #1217 » by **MoreyWins** » Sat May 3, 2025 4:35 am

One of the biggest subplots before the series is how Houston's zone will look with Steph Curry on the floor. They've played it beautifully. Damn near flawless for all things considered.

As a Wolves fan I'd rather face the warriors, the Rockets aren't a joke if they got their heads on straight. I think we can match up well with the Warriors.

Okay so they never got back in, yeah that's lame, legit gave up on it.
