    The Playoff battles are long gone and their formidable Rockets opponent isn't around anymore, it doesn't mean they still don't take great joy is beating the franchise that once gave them a fright.

    Regardless of if a player or two was missing from teams we had grudges with all throughout basketball in reps/school tournaments/state/nationals etc - I always took personal joy in beating the thought of them when I beat that team they used to play for.

    I especially loved the literal first bucket of the game from Klay - it was a James Harden-esque fast break defensive 'play' from KPJ.

    Set the tone for the entire game to follow.

    Like I said - complete loser mentality. If you aren't up for playing defense the very first possession of the game - honestly am speechless.

    It never fails, when Jalen Green plays poorly, the usual suspects always attack KPJ who played objectively better on both sides of the ball.

    It's just comedy at this point.

    Keep lying to yourself, you joined Clutchfans in Oct… and all you did was complain about Silas + Sengun not getting playing time … (fun fact) it only takes a few clicks to see every comment you ever posted.

    now go simma down

    If KPJ can play this way against the world champs there is hope that he can get his efficiency up and get better at playing PG and maybe we all just need some patience for our entire team.

    World Champions?????????????
    NBA teams stopped to play against Euro-bigs because so-called World Champions were hammered quite frequently.
    They still play against South American-Australian-Asian teams but not against to Euro-bigs.

    World champions title of "National League" winner.. World champions that first road win was last night, at 9th attempt. World champions of my slippers.

    Oh come on, you can't actuality be delusional enough to think ANY NBA playoff team wouldn't absolutely steamroll ANY Euro team.

    No one is that foolish.

    Why they stopped to play?
    Where were NBA giants Giannis,Jokic,Doncic in Eurochamps.
    NBA players play like The Sun's page-3 girls. You need real men to play against Euro teams, not prima donnas.Put Draymond Green against an Euro-Big and he will realize what basketball is.

    Meanwhile I don't expect you to understand the difference, I give you information and if your brain transforms little bit you might get something in 20 years. Same time Rockets' tanking process finishes.

    Erasmus praised the foolishness but I can't yours. I am not that humanist.

    Because it was pointless and none of the players wanted to risk injury playing a bunch of Euro scrubs... there just wasn't a reason to do so.

    They don't play the G League champion or the NCAA champion either.

    Your type of people believes "Miss Universe" contest also. All the contestants from the earth but the competion is "Miss Universe".

    Of course they scare. When they play against to other prima donnas there is no problem. If they play against real men where is the problem starts.They were OK at 70s. 80s but what unacceptable happened later on? Euros started to beat NBA teams. No good for dandies, they stopped to play.

    People in Europe are forcing to play against to these soap opera/circus stars. If NBA teams are so good why are they scaring like chicken, Why we don't watch $4M paid Micic against $20M+ paid KPJ or against to $47M paid John Wall. How $8M paid Theis will play against to half a million paid Euros? Is there anyone as good as Sasha Vezenkov at Sacramento Kings, who holds his draft right

    Euro b2b champs Efes will play against arch-enemy Olympiacos and the tickets start $3 and the best seats are for $10 dollars. In the states overrated and pumped National league winner GSW sells average ticket $600. Delusional fans believe it is worth because they are watching not National League winner but BIG-BANG champions, champions of multi-universes.

    I can watch Barcelona/M.United/Arsenal/Chelsea for £100 but a mediocre NBA game in London was £1200. Crime of the century.

    As long as you believe National League winners are the champs of world/solar system/galaxy/universe/black holes/quasars/pulsar/multi universes they will continue to rip you off.

    WORLD CHAMPIONS :) Champions of my Kullah.
