2024-25 NBA Season / Playoffs

[NineOneSeven]

Curry’s o/u was 26.5. He had 26 after 3 including a missed FT.

If the over doesn’t hit I’m never betting an NBA game again.

Thank god at least for that lmao.

The double big lineup kills GS. They very clearly are best playing small but Houston doesn’t need to guard Green and honestly nor Butler on perimeter. So you just double Steph and rough him up and GS hasn’t figured out which 2G is supposed to play when.

Payton, Moody, BP, Buddy H. Kerr seems to love Buddy but if he isn’t just catching and shooting and MAKING he can’t play. I think he needs to play Moody more.

They are in trouble unless a third scorer steps up and they limit Houston’s second chance points and points off turnovers which is unlikely given the DNA of their team.

houston really should have won game 4 as well if not for a horrific shooting performance for the line. Houston's biggest problem is shooting but vs GSW it doesnt matter that much cause they just get the rebound and keep shooting it till it goes in.

Agree 100 percent. Adams has been a huge factor in the series. Give some credit to Rockets staff. Kerr and his staff need to counter with something. As you said not having to guard Dramond or Butler on the perimeter is huge for the Rockets.

 

[Newhouser]

And again I ask did Kuminga sleep with Kerr's wife?

 

[kirbivore]

Now that my Lakers are out it's root against Boston and the Clippers

One down one to go

 

[kirbivore]

Draymond is truly a total clown way too much. He just doesn’t get it.

The current holder of the fake tough guy title belt after Garnett retired.

There’s a lot of chatter going on about how he gets a Tech early on purpose knowing the refs pretty much aren’t giving him a second one so he’s unlocked

I really thought Houston had the old guys figured out. Did not expect them to lay an egg at home offensively in Game 7.

When the Warriors pour it one things get out of hand fast.

Draymond on offense though... he might be worse than late career Rodman at this point. It's shocking.

And this had to be one of the best offensive games I’ve see him play in a couple years.

And ironically his early scoring was huge

Third scorer Buddy, check
Ball control, check

Houston had no choice but to just hope the Buddy hields and the Draymonds of the world were going to miss wide open shots. It had been working . Tonight it didn’t . Curry didn’t really do anything till the outcome was all but decided

 

[Newhouser]

Houston needs to package jaylen green and josh Smith for a consistent scorer.

They only gave up 103. Their defense was mostly fine. They were 3-14 from 3 until they started chucking during garbage time. Obviously Jalen Green was terrible like he was the entire series outside of game 2.

So buddy hield going 9-11 from 3 wasn’t a defensive issue ? He was wide open all game by design (flawed design)

Who would want Jaylen green? He’s the classic stat stuffer can’t win with him player. Josh smith isn’t on the rockets but I’ll assume you mean Jabari. He’s useful

I'd say giving up 103 in 2025 is a decent effort. The Warriors had an average offensive game for them even with Hield being unconscious.

Sengun went 9-23 on shots mostly within 10 feet of the basket. He needs to get tougher. He did a lot of Luka like complaining during the series. Green and Brooks were terrible. FVV oddly was not aggressive until GS had control of the game.

Sengun went 9-23 on shots mostly within 10 feet of the basket on top of them. He needs to get tougher. He did a lot of Luka like complaining during the series. Green and Brooks were terrible. FVV oddly was not aggressive until GS had control of the game.

Let me introduce you to the Sengun experience. Flop flop flop . Whine whine whine. Miss a bunny miss a bunny miss a bunny. Then mix in a sick pass and a couple slick spin moves which is the only highlight they’ll show.

would trade him and any combination of players / picks for Giannis aside from Thompson

 

[cuseattle]

Knicks tie it up from down 20. Fun game

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Knicks Celtics went from being a potential laugher to a really good game.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Boston should shoot more 3s

54 so far!
