Why do teams keep playing on offense with one of their guys injured and then take fouls to stop play? Happened with Curry and now Reid. Just call timeout with the ball.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Kuminga is awful. BBIQ in the single digits.
Kerr needs to bench his ass for literally anyone else.

Didn’t Warriors do that to the Rockets in game 7? Poor play is obvious, but maybe Warriors defense should get some credit too.


It should, but the Wolves are playing like garbage even when they're wide open.

It’s all bad basketball. They do nothing but cute layups, screens, & 3’s. It’s shameful to watch.

Yeah, when i've had a pulled hammy I could still move and it wasn't painful, but like I just didn't have any range of motion and obviously no burst/explosion/speed. Could only do a jog type run since I couldn't extend my stride. Always felt like it was tight/needed to be stretched but you couldn't do any stretch that would help it. Definitely a multi week ailment

The defense has been solid and I don’t want to take anything away from them, but being honest, Minnesota has been missing some obscenely wide open threes throughout this game. The team is just totally cooked offensively over the past two games, it’s been obscene to watch. Hopefully the lid comes off the basket, at some point.
