    I didn't think so. We are the better team.

    When you let one game decide it you open up stuff like Hield happening...

    They should have played better earlier in the series.

    I think they will not trade Jalen Softass Green in the offseason because our franchise right now is Amen Thompson

    Weak Handles, for a 3rd Pick he is a Bust.

    I don't give a **** what the greatest shooter does or doesn't do. Eason **** ups cost the Rockets at key portions of the game. We get it, he's young etc etc. RIGHT NOW...in TODAY'S game...he played horribly.

    Sengun averaged 20 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists for the series, showing up every single game, creating gravity, providing playmaking, and being a great defender. He did this for the entire series. He'll get better and improve his shooting. Amen had a rough 3 games to start but woke up the 4 games of the series. Those are our cornerstones. Everyone else can be traded.

    The warriors were desperate at the trade deadline. I hate that they got Butler at the last minute.

    I half want to commiserate half dont have the heart to.

    Its hard to reconcile knowing how inexperienced we were and unlikely to beat the Warriors and yet how we coild have done the BARE MINIMUMS on offense and pulled it off.

    This was our worst game of the season. Yes, we scored 85 in G1 but this one THE ONLY REASON WE SCORED 89 WAS BECAUSE A COUPLE THREES WHEN GSW KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO WIN...

    We had 79 gdm pts with <3min left.

    I'm just beyond flabbergasted that we shot THAT badly. NO ONE showed up.

    Jalen, you are not HIM. Don't get me wrong, no one was this game, but being terrible 6 out of 7 games? Sorry. If he doesnt wake up next season then I'm done.

    Why couldn't we at least be competitive? Why couldn't we at least play an AVERAGE game?

    Its the Warriors G7.... and we did not leave it all on the floor.

    I promised myself that I wouldn't be angry. We overachieved this season and ultimately I'm proud of our team for what they've done in the last 2yrs, but my god this game... it was just so bad.

    Hopefully it's all paved to next season.

    Time to drink myself to sleep after that BS.

    if Jalen gave us even average starter level play, we beat this GS team in 5 or 6 games

    I’m jealous of everyone going to bed after this…it’s daytime for me, and also vacation, and ALSO rainy so I have to just sit at home and watch the sky shed tears for the Houston Rockets’ season.

    Which was still overall a good season.

    But I feel especially dramatic right now.

    Yeah that was baffling. He took a bad fadeaway middy with Curry on him. He's needs to get stronger and work on his handles. He's extremely 1-dimensional for a top 3 pick.

    What will it take for Jalen to be invited back to the cookout?

    Because for me, I think he blew it so bad that he might have to eat prison food for the rest of his tenure here.

    Said it during the game, Warriors figured it out, they were getting him open shots. Dude sucks but he's a shooter in the NBA, of course he's going to drain open shots.

    At that point the zone should have been dropped, the Warriors beat the zone, we should have dropped it.

    If LaMelo Ball was on the Rockets with a Great Offensive Coach I have no doubt Jalen Green will play better.

    Jalen Green is a Energy Seeker from the PG.

    Fred VanVleet is not really a Fastbreak Passing PG. Just a Streaky undersized SG that was undrafted and started from the G League and he is Starter.

    Rockets really need a PG LaMelo Ball and add shooters everywhere.

    Dude 100%. Amen is our dude. Build around him and make whatever adjustment may be needed.

    Lamelo and Jalen Green duo sure sounds like a disaster waiting to happen in the playoffs… if they even make it

    Goading Draymond to at least a game 1 suspension would have been sweet.
