Won’t even trip about three straight bull shyt ass calls that eventually let to a Curry three that killed momentum, I’ll just focus on the Rockets own undoing with the missed FTs and terrible 3pt shooting. You can play 2001-2004 Pistons ball all you want, but you still need to put the ball in the basket. Sengun, Adams, Tari and eventually Jabari came to play. Nobody else really did. Everybody needs to contribute heading into next game. Can’t go down 2-0 headed on the road.

THIS. I really wish Ime would go deeper into his bench. You needed offense. Whitmore is just sitting there. Hell, even Jeff Green may have given you something. Not expecting a lot from them in this playoff run, but 34 first half points…with 16 of them from 1 guy….that can’t happen again.

Not surprised at all Jalen shrunk in the moment. So predictable. We need him to play well. I really didn’t enjoy watching us hoop this game. So many ugly misses and dumb decisions. Hope the guys step it up. Hustle alone won’t take us far.

Also Ime wasn’t great this game and I felt the refs kinda hosed us at times. IDK how we even made it a game in the 4th with all of that.

Van Fleet had the more horrible game to me. Jalen had a lot of attention paid to him in this game. And he wasn't good. But Fleet had open shots that he has to knock down. If he not hitting these shots play Holiday

What a pathetic fanbase the Warriors is. Despite being like 20-4 or whatever with Jimmy Butler, they’re running around complaining about it fouls, “dirty play”, and pretending to be sympathetic underdogs. They’re 4 time champs since 2015 and have had two of the dirtiest players on the roster (Draymond/Zaza) for the majority of it. They’re need to shut up and realize “injuries happen” just like when Kawhi, Paul, Love, Kyrie, and several others were injured during their runs.

Anyway, outstanding game from Jalen, and Amen played so much more controlled. I have no idea who that other Amen Thompson was during that first game. Will need him to grab more boards next game though. I see FVV was a +19 despite being 1-7 from 3 and 7 points, but that’s better than going 2-13 from 3. Sengun just needs to keep doing what he’s been doing, and Brooks needs to be THIS Brooks as well. Feel like game three is very important to take, but it’s plausible.

I hate that I'm always right but here we are. The only way Green will be decent is maybe after we ship his ass out and he wants revenge, but even the , he's to busy painting his nails and fukking has-beens

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Amen and Green not doing their job gets this result, along with missing FTs. The team has such poor shooting they have a small margin of error for stuff like that. They made have to play that double big lineup more, and Holliday and maybe even Reed should be getting some of FVV’s shots. Throw Cam out there as a wildcard. You can’t go down with the same mistakes and think you’ll have a different result.

Him and Ja Morant are two young guys who are in need of some Fresh Air, both got extremely complacent with themselves quickly and won't hit their peaks until they get a wake up call via trade

 

[Antdrewjosh]

Sengun and Thompson played soft to me..can't miss free throws either. But they can't play scared of Draymond

 

[Mike_Pipeson]

Jalen should just become a beautician and give up this basketball shyt.

Thompson has the worse +/- of the series for the rockets I believe. It was the worse last night.

The problem with this team is GSW are exposing all their shortcomings all at once. Amen I the halfcourt, Sengun missing bunnies, Jalen shrink moments, even Jabari and his untimely turnovers. Jabari. Doesn’t even have a high usuage but if you make him dribble and pass(basically do anything other than shoot) he’s almost guaranteed to turnover the ball.

Unfortunately these guys have to keep growing. It’s peaks and valleys with all the core 6. And GSW hitting all the valleys

Fred is also mid.

Fred is also mid.

Fred isn’t a core piece. He was suppose to be a placeholder. They drafted two players they hoped could take the wheel from him. Neither seem capable

 

[Primetime]

I didn’t expect much from Amen other than “hustle” since everyone in the association, media and fanbase knows he can’t shoot.

Because we don’t have a leader/real vet, we’re putting a lot on Sengun to be that guy and it’s mixed results.

Fred… it irked me that Reggie Miller was gassing up his vet experience as if he ain’t been trash in the other 3 games and a big reason why we were down 1-2 to begin with.

Him and Jalen we needed consistent offense/shot making from, because our offense ain’t shyt and we don’t have a superstar. But we knew all this going into the playoffs season.
