    Definitely agree with this too, I'm just glad at this point he's not total liability.

    The more experience this team can get, it'll really pay off.

    Just those fouls, some were ticky-tack but some were definitely mistakes by Brooks.

    This is a good summary of Jalen's playoff struggles on offense.

    He's working his ass of on defense though so I appreciate that.

    because Kerr will counter and game plan for Fred. We absolutely need Green to get going. To simply rely on Fred is foolish.

    Offense didn’t work well in games 4 with multiple shot clock violations and stalled offensive sets. If it did we would have crushed them since we did a pretty good job on defense

    I hope that ignites him next game. We need someone to be extra hot shooting.

    Agreed. Brunson, Curry and SGA know how to lean their bodies into defenders, create all the contact, and still get the call. Brunson, Curry and SGA also have perfected the art of the subtle “chicken wing” that NBA refs refuse to call to generate separation from defenders.

    Brunson pushed off on Ausar Thompson with his off hand subtly on the game-winning three last night, but the refs let him get away with it. SGA does it all the time.

    Bleacher already showing videos of Steph talking to his son crying after the loss. Telling him it’s one more game Sunday.

    ESPN now will play this video every day to make it about father son love.

    Udoka was pissed after that dumb foul on Butler to end the first half, for one thing.

    Definitely agree, I hope it does too, I'm just happy the team is using they're using their youth to their advantage. The longer this drags out and the shorter rest between games has been exposing the warriors more imo, Rockets just need to not let up.

    DB was benched because he played like a complete dog, was in foul trouble and never returned after sitting down during the 3rd quarter. Maybe his profoundly stupid reaching foul on Butler to close the 1st half was the last straw with Ime.

    His shot form looked awful from the start. It was like something was wrong with him.

    thats what makes them great . Jalen plays too straight up. Too honest. Need to be smart and savvy. Jump and shoot when player is on your hip. Bump a player who is back peddling. Jump and Drive shoulder into chests of defender when they jump

    Right, I didn't like how it was called continuation but it was also a stupid foul, it'd have been better to just tie him up after he got exposed.
