theres playing physical, and then theres whatever tf was happening last nightđ¤Śđžââď¸
I know Jason is schooling this guy but you can tell its going through one ear out the other and he will be back to the same crap.
Zaza's Karma never forgot.
Why do I have to skip 3 minutes into the video for it to start? Canât that be edited out? Wtf am I waiting on a countdown for, itâs not live for me when I click on the video the next day. A tad tedious.
Jimmy is done for the playoffs. I hate it when a top player gets hurt. I don't care who wins that series, just wanted to watch good ball.
I donât not like how the refs handle the foul calls, Steph Curry gets a poor whistle and Ime is taking advantage of that đ˘
Great point on the illegal screens. Nobody gets away with more blatantly illegal screens than the Warriors
If Amen Thompson's fall was intentional, it was intentional by Draymond Green.
If this happened to the Lakers mfkrs would be in an uproar. Instead they smiling because the NBAs biggest threat is now done. Due to dirty play.. period. Over 20 dirty uncalled plays
Booker for Ja could make sense for the suns if they can keep KD.. The team would have better balance
the pro warriors bias is sickening
What the wistle allows to happen on Steph is a disgrace. Ok allow them to play hard, but not like this. Grabbing, hugging, is not helping the game. It only disrespects talent.
should have a flagrant on the jimmy injury. it doesn't even have to be intentional to get a tech. IMO it was a reckless and dirty play by thompson.
Jason is confusing getting fouled with having the refs calling a foul. These are two different things. Buttler and Harden for example are not in the same category of game. Buttler is actually getting fouled, Harden in his golden years wasn't. Curry deserve to get a lot more calls. He is the best shooter of all time, one of the best players of all time, playin in an elite level at his age and the league is allowing random athletes to do whatever they wish with him. It's a disgrace.
Disappointed you said it looked like Dray pushed Amen. And for the record letâs not forget Amen throwing Tyler Hero, and choking Giannis. Dillon Brooks is a pos, that three he took and then hooked curry as he fell, what a dumb ass gremlin
Is this a Warriors channel? Thought this guy was neutral.

Another multi minute intro. Just what we all love. Not sure why the volume continues to leave all the dead space
JImmy held jalen to 7 points in game 1 on awful shooting, so what did the rockets have to do in game 2? Take out jimmy so jalen can go off
Long time fan and first time commenter! Do you feel the pressure to fall into the more negative side of NBA media? I notice your passion and love for the game and it really shows. Iâve wanted to comment when you stray off from your norm but you always end up coming back and apologizing saying itâs more about basketball. How do you weigh when to step into the âpopularâ(ie goat debate, what ifs, personal lives of players) narrative vs sticking to what you like to do?
Total shit take. Rockets will take the series. You are NOT a ball knower.
Welcome to the Jalen Green experience. 7 points one game 38 the next. Takes and makes the most difficult shots with aesthetic layups and handles and athleticism, then looks dumb as a rock and canât make basic basketball reads đ
KD to the Rockets wonât take them anywhere in my opinion.. first they wonât be able to get him without sending out core pieces.. second.. KD isnât a leader.. he doesnât want to be.. and he canât be the number 1 option for shot creation on a championship team anymore.. he isnât a ball handler and not a great playmaker.. KD should go to a team where he can be the second or third best player on the team as a play finisher.. just like Jimmy is doing for the warriors..
"You don't get to play Orlando in the first round"
Orlando has a great defense and would sweep Memphis.
I am not high on Warriors after these two games. Game 1 Steph hit some bonkers shots at a high percentage that are not sustainable. They barely escaped game 1 with the Rockets essentially getting zero production from Jalen and Fred. Rockets shot 57% from the free throw line and 20% from 3 and the game was still in the balance in the final minutes. These stats flipped back to the average in game 2 (FT 80% and 3pt 37.5%) and the game was never close. Of course, you arenât getting 38 from Jalen again and Jimmy will likely be back, but the Warriors are gonna need to hold the Rockets under 90 to win these games. I think the Warriors are gonna get worn down over this series.
Watch this video folks..This was a deliberate dirty play just like last time in playoffs when they deliberately hurt JP..from coach to players are dirty!
Just look at Amens Thompson's face when he sees Butler fall and hit the floor. Its a face of horror that you dont make if you did that on purpose. You cant fake that reaction. He got bumped into
Jason, is sleeping on the Rockets.
Golden State is a completely different team without a fully healthy Jimmy Butler.
I do expect GSW role players to shoot better at home and Curry will get a lot more foul calls since he's being hand checked and held on every possession.
Real basketball talk starts at 43:02. REAL HOOP FANS ONLY
Surprised if rockets win series??? How? Am I missing something? They look so much better than the warriors. All I seen was clumpy half court offense. They got that first game out of there system. Adjustments were made and they were relentless on defenese. Now a hurt jimmy going home what kinda gameplan is steve kerr gonna come up with? I dont think the rockets fear the warriors at all and their youth doesnt seem to matter this series. If jalen green and sengun continue to be aggressive and efficient ROCKETS IN 6!!!!
