Moody, Kuminga (start of game), Podz....even Curry in the first half - I've never seen tighter sphincters lol. Thank god Podz knows how to compete while terrified to shoot all game long.

I give Curry ton of credit for figuring out the defense and driving hard again and again to break Houston down....then finally hitting some 3's to ice the game.

I don't think Wolves have the wing defenders that Houston does right?

Warriors snuck this one out. Houston gagged collectively as much as the Warriors won this. But dammit....we'll take it!

Let's not forget, whatever will happen from now on, that we don't win this without Buddy. Heart of a warrior.

And yeah, f* the Rockets.

One simple statement.

If Kerr simply played Looney more minutes, this series wouldn't have been close.

This might be true. Except Looney looked hurt all series.

I’m wondering if they saved that big shot of Toradol for game 7

Um they have Jaden McDaniels, NAW, and Ant... All 3 are great perimeter defenders. Plus Donte can be a pest.

You are 100% correct, but that's wishful thinking - some people here will be bashing Buddy the very next time he has a bad game. They already forgot about what Podz did in game 4.

it's not christmas every other game 7 on the road. he's already had a legendary game 7 on the road vs SAC 2 years ago, this time we need a leading performance from playoff jimmy (and a decent game from the role players ofc. if they play as bad as they did in the last 2 games dubs are screwed). also because that zone they couldn't figure out last game it needs to be attacked in the lines between the 3 points line and the middle where adams stays, basically the midrange. those are the "soft" spots you have to exploit. and who' can do that better than jimmy? cannot live and die by the 3, it's a coin toss, it might go your way or backfire on you. butler needs to be aggressive and take over the game from the get go, allowing steph to arrive in the fourth quarte with enough energy to close them out. and we need to give them a taste of their own medicine: turn this game 7 into a dog fight, go all out on defense to keep the game below 100 points even if this means playing looney and TJD at the C spot instead of a guard, slow down the pace and on offense go heavy to jimmy and then steph. it's a game you need to score not necessarily outshoot them from deep. scoring before shooting.

I know Jimmy has had some legendary performances but the rockets are letting Jimmy attack 1v1 and letting him shoot any 3 he wants. If Jimmy can make them pay for that then great. But if Steph goes off all hell breaks loose and then the rockets will panic opening up even more shots for everyone else. No one is going to blame Jimmy if we lose they’re going to blame Steph no matter what the context is even though the entire defense is geared to not let Steph get shots up. Steph needs to be aggressive early and often in this game.

we were both wrong buddy.
how can we forget about buddy hield!

also, it was sufficient to have a small guy defending that barbie of sengun (what a pussyo, seriously, he's even more pussyo than sabonis) and double team van vleet sometimes to wrap those thugs up. our CS really made udola & co. look like coach of the year. well, better later than never.
fu** the rockets. always. when steph retires he's already an NBA owner, he doen't need to buy any shares, he owns that franchise.

Really stupid questions by oncourt reporter. Buddy had a career night and the first question he is asked are you surprised by how open you are due to the great Stephen curry getting double teamed.
Give the man the flowers atleast for one day. Steph is given, donot need to keep getting all the players to keep repeating it. Must make the man sick. Can it not be about him for few minutes on his career night.
These reporters are possibly be paid to destroy team harmony or just plain stupid and keep asking asking same questions.

My expectations are so low that I can’t get hyped about the win.

Which means I’m enjoying Houston losing more than the Dubs victory.

**** Ime Udoka. Beat his ass every time.

Go Dubs! I have no idea how long this run goes, but man, what a ride.

you forgot to mention that really tiny man van vleet. he's a tiny man outside and inside. go be a bully to cancun, little piece of t***

These reporter make it sound it is only steph and Jimmy, lazy ass reporting. At least the gsw reporters need to give them flowers when the others have career nights.

Buddy's quite the character.

Dudes mouth is so big, he could probably eat a footlong Subway sideways in one bite.
