Houston guardplay has been atrocious.

Thompson looks like a much shorter, much worse version of 22 year old Giannis.

He’s on one right now though.

I imagine it’s just me, but I keep confusing Dillon Brooks running around out there for Ryan Anderson.

Sengun might actually be worse than kuzma at finishing

Tonight the Warriors have a big 3 of Steph, Jimmy & Tony Brothers.

Jimmy is averaging 13 FTA at home in this series, 4 FTA in Houston.

Curry took, what? 5 steps?

And Draymond slapped a guy in the face.

Warriors. Come out and play.

Have a feeling we are gonna see a lot of pro Warrior calls in the 4th

Eason looks good on defense but looking like Kuzma on offense today.

Also if we really have to trade Giannis to Houston, it starts with Thompson and picks. The other players are just throw ins to me. Thompson would be the guy I want and if there would be any way to take some of other assets to send to Detroit for the other Thompson even better lol.

Can’t see the rockets winning this. They’ll have to buck the trend of the first three quarters and actually play decent offence.

You can do the trade negotiations then. Get us the best deal.

I’m not sure Amen will ever be good enough offensively. Amazing athlete but looks more like a super role player to me.

I actually want the Warriors to win. I love me some Jimmy Butler.

But I feel like the officials, particularly Tony Brothers will screw the Rockets if the game in close down the stretch.

The league was salivating at a possible Lakers/Warriors 2nd round match-up. Withe Lakers out, the league will be damned if they don't at least get the Warriors in the 2nd round.

When I look at it like that, I almost want the Rockets to win just to deny the league both the Lakers and the Warriors in round 2. They would be pissed lol.

It would have been interesting what it would have taken to get Butler. The 'funny' thing is that I was most concerned about the albatross of what a Jimmy contract would look like and it turns out it is $10m less than a disabled Dame.

I feel Auser's floor is Jrue Holiday/Marcus Smart with more athleticism. He will eventually be a DPOY candidate or award winner.

Amen could be something special, eventually an MVP like candidate. Prime Jimmy Butler or Kawhi type.

I don't want to trade Giannis but if we had to I would take both Thompson twins and multiple unprotected future picks.

Podz has some huge misses

Sengun has been awful tonight.

Jimmy just ran a dribble handoff with Draymond? GSW offence in mud but Houston's is as well.
