finally. badly need his shooting.
I think the rationale is that it better hides Dillon brooks' violence
If he makes someone bleed, the refs might not catch it
you prevent a guy from getting the basket. glad they didn't upgrade it
60% on FTs, absolutely ridiculous
Yeah their 23rd shot clock violation would have been better than putting it up with 10 sec left. GSW plays like a bunch of rookies
Just a comedy of errors by the Warriors.
and they don't seem to learn...and Kerr keeps putting out bizarre line ups. The team's complete inability to finish games is staggering.
the refs had to give them the game tonight (about the rockets )
Expect the refs to act accordingly
It's not the playoffs, but it's a neat and cool thing to do in November/December.
But I didn't get to watch the other games. I had evening stuff going on and didn't get home till like 10pm last night.
Houston's defense is legit, and they made a concerted effort to slop the game up. They have agency too -- it wasn't just "Warriors played sloppy". The high level of defensive intensity lead to the game being sloppy and ugly (with a dash of Curry being obsessed with showboating and trying to hit a dagger 3 instead of letting the shot clock run down, but he did the same thing with his silly behind the back showboating pass to lose the Finals to the Cavs).
Playoff offenses are typically less "beautiful" than regular season offenses. Windows get tighter, shots get harder, players are less worried about conserving energy on defense. So yeah, last night's game was absolutely played at a higher level of play than your average regular season game when you factor in defensive and offensive intensity.
You'll never recreate the national cups of European Football, just because relegation and advancement doesn't exist in American Sports. There is something special, when a lower tier team knocks out a higher tier team or even advances far in the cup. But for what they are trying to do with the In-Season Cup in the NBA, it works quite well in its second season.
Didn't see the game, what a waste of a Rockets Dubs game.
