    I still for the life of me don't understand why OKC gets the whistle they get. As much as i hated it when the warriors were getting help, i at least understood it and if i ran the nba, i would have helped the warriors also. But why OKC? why is dort so special that he gets all these calls? Or even shai?

    Jalen McDaniels is the Rockets' Corey Brewer unrealized. Same physical profile. Brewer's untapped potential.

    Yikes that sure was a boneheaded play to challenge Holmgren on a layup.

    Julius Randle going out sad right before free agency

    5 points on 1-7 shooting

    It appears that he has a PO (Player Option) for the 2025 - 26 season of $30.9 million.

    He might have to settle for that rather than go into Free Agency this Summer and get offered less.

    MVP with 40, 9, and 10…J-Dub with 34, 3, and 5…Chet with 21, 7, and 3 blocks

    all 3 of them were special tonight

    Certain players have defensive rep and get away with a lot, OKC smartly horded a few

    I don't have the Western Conference as being that wide open

    Pacific
    Sacramento, Phoenix, Clippers, Warriors, Lakers

    Northwest
    Minnesota, Denver, Portland, Utah, OKC

    Southwest
    Dallas, San Antonio, New Orleans, Memphis, Houston


    After
    • Houston
    • San Antonio
    • Maybe Dallas
    • Maybe Memphis
    • Maybe Minnesota

    which teams are currently positioned with
    • Youth with Talent
    • Decent Depth
    • Draft Picks
    • Flexibility to adjust Team Salary

    to challenge OKC over the next several seasons?

    I don't understand why Dort is allowed to be very handsy with the opposing players that much! he was literally grabbing Ant on every possession

    And they still could’ve lost if Ant or Randle even show up a little bit.

    Wasn’t assertive or aggressive at all. OKC was putting a body on him everywhere he went, but two shots is unacceptable.
