Is there a way to bring the Australian giant to the Warriors?

F sportsmanship, Rockets can throat a fat D


Agreed.

Love crushing the Rockets once again. Houston fans must hate Steph Curry and the Warriors. We've been feeding them a steaming pile of dog **** for 15 years now.

What a game. Glad we locked in on defense. We finally solved the double big lineup which is great moving forward because our next 2 teams we play against will be playing double bigs. Thankfully they won’t be as physical and strong as the rockets.

If's he's free, that should be the first free agent signed. His rebounding and D would be highly appreciated by Dray and Butler.

I mean, yes and no. We know that we have Steph and Jimmy to take the lead and Dray defensively but we need a 3rd scorer to step up and it’s going to be either Podz or Buddy. We need them being aggressive.

In terms of games, this was probably the least fun series among the ones the Warriors won. Otoh, i really dislike Brooks, Thompson and Şengün so at least the ending felt pretty good.

Didn’t think we had it this season but seeing both LA teams and Houston going home before us feels great.

Draymond was locked the **** in. He really shut down the rockets tonight. What a game by him.

Not just shooting tho, he’s bring it on defense as well.

We all know Buddy can shoot; its the consistency that is the worry. But we don't expect such tenacious defense from him; his work on D was almost as critical as his shooting tonight. If he can play this type of defense on a consistent basis, he is still an asset even on his off-shooting nights. Its when his shot isn't falling and he is indifferent on defense that he becomes unplayable.

I really thought we had a slim chance to win this. Good thing Buddy Hield happened.

Looney was great as well. Him and Draymond made life hell on Sengun.

Next series, Podz has to take advantage of his matchups against the big's. He had one solid game this series, but had the most open shots of anyone and that is with Draymond on the team. Steph, Butler, and Green should have each had 10 assists if Podz and Moody made shots.

That is why I didn't understand Kerr not playing Looney till tonight really. Looney has always played Sengun and Adams just as well, even better at times, than Green.

Amen Thompson is only in his 2nd year but already 10X the player JK is ... this is sad.

You never want to get a turnover.

I think he's from New Zealand, and no, probably too expensive.

I didn't mind that timeout. Rub it in a little more. :lol:
