Nobody played well besides Sengun and Jabari. Let's see if everyone plays bad for 4 games. Also, Jalen played bad, but he did outscore Adams lol. Amen only had 8, Jalen had 7, Adams 6. Everybody has to play better.

You're right. Jalen got that last layup when the game was out of reach, I didn't refresh the box score.

They'll play better next game, this was the 1st playoff game for a lot of these guys. But I said this before the playoffs that the Warriors are probably the worst match up for the Rockets.

The Warriors defense will expose the Rockets lack of shooting & bad half court offense. I just don't see how the Rockets overcome that this series.

Very tough for Rockets this series will be; but hey they might overcome it; ask @shaddyvillethug he had Rockets in 4; so maybe he knows something that others don’t…

Just about every Rocket played terrible, Jimmy AND Steph both went off, we lost by 10. Make some shot and stop turning the ball over. Continue to punish them on the boards.

I will say, the Rockets need to taker those midrange shots. The warriors like to lure you into dribbling into the help. They are alwasy going to colapse at the rim.

I guess you think Podz was the most important Warrior today too.

The issue isnt who was most important you dumb donut eating bitch. The point is Reggie went out of his way to LIE about how Draymond was playing stellar defense against Sengun. Fuck is wrong wit you man?!

 

[spider705]

Just got in from a date with a BAD ASS chic... missed most of the game... only positive I can take from this game is the fact that everybody played like shit and we only lost by 10. I find it highly unlikely that Jalen, Fred, Amen, Brooks, all have another game like tonight.

Jitters out the way, let's see game 2.

I watched the game. Draymond is the MVP of the postseason so far.

Uh oh. @MisterTaharqa is going to have to set you straight, real fans don’t associate with females or leave the home. Casual

Let's not disturb his sleep...

 

[KingTaharqa]

@Costanza and @spider705 already making love after Game 1 to clown Bron fans. Their hatred for Black people got em bonding. That's why this isn't a real rivalry and will be a quick series.

15 straight playoff loses for Detroit and counting.

Longest playoff losing streak in league history.

Oh no you didn't......

1973 Bruh, If we counting shit like that. The Knicks ain't never been relevant during your lifetime.

The Longest Team Championship Droughts Currently In The NBA

There are six teams in the NBA that have not won a championship in at least each of their last 50 seasons.

lastwordonsports.com

Look at the pure fucking trash you're associated with. Hot New York garbage, Hawks, Clippers, Kings, Jazz, and Suns.

50 got damn years.

MSG and the Knicks were acting like they were winning the ECF. Posing after every shot and wolfing like it was the biggest game of the season.

Knicks ain't gonna have a lot in the tank emotionally come game 2.

I still have the Pistons beating that ass. I they lose, so what. 14 to 44 missing your 1st or 2nd best player in Ivey.

If Jaden was healthy all that rushing Cade at the half court line would be mute. But without him, JB just needs Hardaway and Beasley to shot corner threes instead of 25-30ft wing bombs.

I hope you feel good about beating a storied franchise. Your players grew up idolizing the Bad Boys and Going to Work Pistons. So the emotional response was to be expected.

Ain't nothing special about beating the Knicks. Ain't no glory. It's just another playoff series for us. 15 loses in a row or not Pistons fans ain't sweating beating the Knicks.

Rockets fans wanna cheer for Curry not watch VanVleet hoist bricks for 3 rounds.

We'll never know cuz they're gonna break the team up this summer to bring in KD.

At this point they need to just hand all the top seeds the series. Don’t even play it out.
















….cuz the Clippers might do some shit

 

[M.H.C.]

Yo, Mazulla is on one.

There’s only a 10 year difference between them. Tatum must’ve called him “Unc” That’ll make you do some shit like that

Booker is the one they should go after.

 

[KingTaharqa]

Booker is the one they should go after.

I heard that, but Phoenix is gonna give him a new deal to stay. Bringing in KD puts him back in Texas (he played college ball in Austin) and sells jerseys. Houston lacks a legit star. Phoenix lacks depth and draft picks. It's a match made in heaven.

 

[KingTaharqa]

Lakers the only team that lost this weekend that had alts of various teams celebrating it and attempting to clown them for it. Even LordSinister logged in to show love. There aren't any T'Wolves fans on BGOL.

 

[Helico-pterFunk]

The only way the Rockets win this series is if Jalen Green steps up. I'm not worried about Sengun, he got that dog in him but Jalen is too inconsistent. The Warriors got him shook.

He fucked up going RAW with Draya Michele.
