i like how Draymond blew the easy layup to try to get a foul and dropped his team down to the play-in... lol Thats why i hate it when people play for a foul... sposed to play through contact and go for the score - not leave stuff in the hand of a ref making a call...
I love Jalen Green but this playoff series will have major implications for his future with the Rockets. Im leaning on giving him an additional year regardless because this is his first playoff experience but I don't think the front office or Ime will be so lenient about it. Same goes for Sengun. We can lose games or even the series but they need to show up when it counts. I guarantee 100% Amen Thompson will show up and show out.
Kerr already lobbying the front office for calls in the Play-In. That is what peak desperation looks like.
Steph Curry, Tim Curry Chicken Curry Mutton curry . . . .Doesn't matter. . . . Rockets in 5 Rocket River
He was trying to be all smart and get the +1 for the lead, instead of having proper sportsmanship and playing the game like its intended to be played... i hate when guys flop... I hate when guys play for the foul instead of the bucket,,, I hated arguing with people on here bc "playing for the foul is the highest % play blah blah blah..." all that crap ruins the game imo...
Warriors are very capable of losing both of these games lol. I'm not betting that though but they have no bigs and the rest of the teams left have very good bigs. Obviously Memphis with JJJ which should cause their non-existent front line troubles. Then you have Sactown, obviously have one of the best bigs in the league. Same for Dallas and AD is capable of just randomly being up for games and turning into an MVP caliber player.
Why am I expecting SacTown to blow up there team after this season They seem like ATL of the west Rocket River
Because keeping both DeRozan and LaVine won't happen and there is talk Sabonis may ask to be traded. Their roster is mediocre and there is no obvious path to improving it. This is the ideal scenario for "blowing up" a team and starting over. On the other hand, Vivek is hard core against blowing things up. But he caved on trading Fox and may go against his nature again.
Atlanta @ Orlando James Williams (#60) Pat Fraher (#26) Karl Lane (#77) Sean Corbin (#33) Memphis @ Golden State Josh Tiven (#58) Bill Kennedy (#55) Nick Buchert (#3) Brent Barnaky (#36) Replay Center: Tyler Ford
For the young Magic team, a 1st round rendez-vous with the Celtics would be invaluable for their resume and experience. That is the top of the crops the next few years.
