We've got two G7's.  Both seem like coin flips to me even though home teams historically have a big advantage.

Now that Pop is gone, hope Kerr is next and woke is gone

You're certainly entitled to have that opinion.

Too many midwestern dudes on Bucks. Crazy to see Gary (Minnesota), Jericho (Minnesota) and fricken AJ Green (Iowa; teammates with OUR Joey H) on the court together.

GSW looks really s...l...o...w...

Was thinking the exact same while watching. It was like Ol' Shep was trying to keep up with a bunch of playful puppies.

Also, the Warriors surrendered way before Kerr pulled the plug. Body language and facial expressions were horrible the entire fourth quarter.

After the game, both Green and Kerr went on and on for several minutes about how the team's collective spirit was crushed by the 4-point play to start the fourth quarter.

Yeah, I could see why. After all, they were down all of 6 points with only 11 1/2 minutes to play. Game over!

I don't know what happened to Kuminga but he must really be in the doghouse.  The truth is Houston looks like the better team.  Much more athletic, bigger, and more guys that can score the ball.  The Dubs can't win if they get hardly anything from guys other than Curry or Butler. 

The other thing is while VV has been tremendous the past 3 games, Jalen Green has been abysmal.  And Sengun while putting up decent numbers, has been inefficient and often makes dumb decisions or complains.  My point is that I think Houston can play at a higher level.  In order for the Dubs to win tomorrow Curry may have to go for 45 or they need Pod or Moody to have a big game.  They have zero chance if they turn the ball over.  Houston's half-c offense can be a disaster at times.

The new Spurs coach, Mitch Johnson, was the starting PG for Stanford in the 2008 tourney heartbreaker against us, dishing out 16 assists, inclusive the final one to Brook Lopez. The most devastating MU loss I've experienced.
