    Holmgren getting the continuation off that super long gather & stroll into the lane reminds me of 2018 WCF G7 on the right break when Klay grabbed Hardens arm as he was coming around a screen and putting up a 3 - hit it, thus giving the Rockets the lead & ending 10+ missed 3s, setting up a 4 point play.... until Scott Foster waved it off, no challenge, no nothing. Just a bunch more landing zone fouls that were uncalled.

    Lmao, well, it would be great if it were the Blazers or a team that was not been protected by the league like the Spurs have.

    I am there fully with you. I don't like anything about the Spurs, that is one of the things my tenure as a Houston follower taught me.

    I am fully willing to go over to the Dark Side if I must. Turn Sith.

    I feel you.

    Being a die hard Rocket fan made me despise everything about Dallas - to the point I refused to go there on my trips to Texas.

    There's at least one positive to Tilman buying the team for me. My hatred of that family and how they've destroyed the Rockets has opened my eyes to enjoying other teams now. It's a shame the league forced them to trade Luka. I loved going to Dallas to watch the Rockets instead of Houston.

    Everything about DFW is better than Houston. It is what it is Houstonians.

    You will soon find out that getting a call in a few games does not compare to getting 8 footers and advantages beyond something you can compete in......

    Weird comment. You act like I don't know basketball and don't understand the relevance of a once in a lifetime talent.

    I get hating them because they got Wemby, but Wemby would've pulled a Stevie Franchise if the Rockets got that pick, his reaction upon finding out he wasn't heading to the Tilman Garbage Dump Franchise shows that.

    I mean the Spurs are inevitable like Presti's teambuilding was inevitable.

    Okay, I guess some guys want to see the Thunder swept, I get that too.....right now the Thunder are the only team that can at least somehow compete with them.....in 1 year they might not even be able to do that.

    JUST HOLD ON TO THAT THOUGHT WHAT U WISH FOR.

    Funny, because at least 50% of NBA fans would say your exact comment in reverse, the Spurs are the only chance of stopping the Thunder rattling off a dynasty.

    They have their ear in the NBA Offices....that is not weird, it is power even for the most protected Small market.

    For sure, because that is temporary, once another team comes on it will change.

    Ditto for the next Dynasty......was the same with Curry and Draymond and moving screens.

    I still remember when I cheered for the Redeem Witness Warriors and Baron Davis upsetting Dirk and the Mavs and then cheered on Curry when he was younger to usurp Monta Ellis .....then I wanted the Warriors dethroned.


    Always going to be something.

    I guess that's why they call it posterizing

    I don't think it is funny....

    That is just transformational power, to be able to go from a tanking 30 Win team to 62 Games to being able to dominate the dominating Thunder.

    I think those people just have not adapted to it mentally, it is happening sooner than later, and Wemby is going to be a Villain too.

    Once there is no competition out there.

    Funny, at least 50% of NBA fans would put that sentiment on SGA and the OKC Flopper.

    Joker and Luka flop way more and they are not nearly as hated, come on now.

    And Lakers fans are 90% more insufferable than OKC fans bc they call 4-1 on Thunder on socials.

    Ok cool, realise I said an entire team, not a single player?

    So no, two players don't flop more than an entire team. Stop it. We get it, you hate the Spurs and want them to fail, don't just say stupid sh*t in the process.

    this has basically been a lost season for Jalen Williams…this is the 3rd time he’s injured his hamstring

    Luka would still be out if the Lakers were playing right nos

    crazy that Harden decided to play on a grade 2 strain playing entire playoff games for Brooklyn…basically destroyed his prime doing that

    People are funny, they rather go and fair weathering the Lakers again after they poach yet another star from a small market.

    And when a small market that is not known as the ' The league's Spurs' does really well, like really well, they find every little warts.....well yeah have fun then.
