    I know I can't feel bad watching Castle's composure on the biggest stage.

    Because Ime would've destroyed all his confidence just like he did Reed's, if he was drafted by the Rockets.

    Which team you hate the most? For me, it's the Thunder with all their dirty players and flopping.

    Against the Spurs full roster, OKC is just too depleted to win. If J-Dub and Mitchell both miss game 5, same exact thing will happen as tonight.

    Dort is worse than worthless, Wiggins looks like he hasn't played all season and McCain shot all of his bullets in game 3. The Spurs' defense is 100% the reason for their domination tonight.

    The FT disparity is huge but the refs aren't why the Spurs are up 23.

    Yeah, it's really weird people are complaining about posters wanting the team who doesnt flop every play, to beat the team who flop and cheat off ball almost every play.

    I guess you've got to question whether they're even Rocket fans, because no fan who went through watching the Warriors flop and cheat their way to playoff wins would ever question why we'd want flopping cheating teams to lose.

    It's f*cking disgusting the Spurs get Johnson as their head coach, but the Rockets get the Ime branch off the Popovic tree.

    It is embarrassing the difference between the two in every facet.

    Don’t forget to mention how terrible Chet Holmgren has been.

    What did Mitch Johnson do before being with the spurs? He was on the spurs bench like Udoka was. At least Udoka took the Celtics to a finals. I don’t like Udoka as much as the next guy, but Mitch is still an unknown who inherited Wemby and the spurs organization including their scouts and development

    I’m not disagreeing that Udoka is overrated but if I had Wemby, Fox, Castle and Harper, I and anybody else who would be coaching that foursome would look like a great coach.

    Your post is really weird since you replied to mine with it. Comprehension not your strong suit?

    I didnt say Johnson has won multiple coach of the year awards did i?

    No. I compared him and Udoka as being disciples of Pop, and one looks incredibly competent, and one does not.

    You can delete your post if you like, I wont hold it against you.

    Just for fun. I like how you mentioned the Celtics. You mean the same Celtics who got infinitely better the moment udoka was fired? LOLLLLLL

    I mean lets be real, if Wemby wasn't there nobody would gives a rats ass about anyone else on the spurs. Harper is gonna be awesome no doubt, but the spurs would have a hard time being .500 without wemby.

    In his one season with the Celtics, Ime took the Celtics to the Finals with Will Hardy and Joe Mazzulla as assistants on his staff. Unfortunately, that seems to have inflated his ego and caused him to believe he no longer needs assistants that are worth a dime in Russian Rubles.

    Yawn. Here let me break it down for you, its not about having better players.

    Udoka yells and benches his best player for something he doesnt like.

    Johnson grabs a rookie by the jersey and yells at him, and then at the end of the one sided conversation tells him to get back out there and keep contributing.

    Dare I emphasize this even more and talk about how incompetent udoka is with other young players?

    Basketball is so much more than having better players. As the seasons go by I'm realizing some on clutchfans dont actually know basketball.
