    This video at the 4:00 minute mark is one of the greatest things I've ever watched as a Rockets fan.

    Nick's laying onto Steph now for his douchebag antics in the 3rd and disappearing at the 4th.

    Is nick the only major media guy who calls out steph for his nonsense?

    On Sirius the hosts are always saying they don’t know why people don’t like steph

    Nick is my favorite TV analyst. He really tells it like it is.

    His segment today on Curry's post-shimmy melt down is epic. And the graphic he shows about Steph not showing up except for in the 3rd quarter of home games was really eye opening. Nick is on fire this morning.

    I’m watching as well. He is spitting fire.

    Amazing how hard he’s hitting Steph. Multiple sauces was wishy washy but at least he said it’s fime to stop with the injury nonsense

    Nick: "Steph's the only guy in the league who is if he's great, he's great, and if he's not, he's injured."

    If you go on his twitter and look at he specific tweet where he mentions this, people are absolutely roasting him for it. A little cognitive dissonance for the everyday nba fan rooting for the most unfair team in nba history.

    Nick is a LerBon nuthugger and is rooting for Houston to take out Golden State so his boy has a shot to win.

    Disagree with Nick quite often. But in this instance he's rightl. Best defensive performance in the NBA this season. And in my mind I can't remember a defensive performance by any team over the last 5+ seasons that exceeds last night's performance by our guys.

    This was great except the horrific Cris Carter bit about "reputation repair" at the end was nauseating.

    Sadly, we have reached a point in the Take-o-sphere that we live in now, where the important thing is not to do good things on the basketball court, viewed int he context of all facts and circumstances (like, you know Chris Paul and James Harden being legendary players who already each have double-digit numbers of epic playoff performances, this is a fact, or the underdog Rockets playing a dynastic machine at the peak of its powers to a standstill after 4 games through sheer hard work) , but to enhance your "reputation" among the Takerati is, apparently, way way more important and frankly can't be cleared up unless they deem it to be so - regardless of what happens in reality. The take is the point, not the event itself. It kind of reminds me of what the occupant of the White House gets away with these days.

    **** that noise man.

    I don't understand Cris Carter saying Wright has a "relationship with Fertitta." Is Wright being paid to shill for the Rockets?
