    I am just not impressed with Gobert. Every time I watch him he just looks average. I really don't get the hype.

    Eh, he's arguably the best defensive big man in the game with a growing offensive game. Pretty much all the defensive metrics paint him as elite and he has some eye-popping production numbers--like, he had a 129 Offensive Rating and a 23.3 PER. He doesn't shoot a ton, but he's hyper-efficient.

    Combining a super efficient 14 PPG with top-end defense and rebounding, decent passing and he's still only 24 with more room to improve, I don't think he's overhyped. He's not at the Davis/Towns level, but he's still incredibly valuable.

    He didn't have a very impactful Game 1, but he may still be shaking off the effects of his injury.

    JV plays 5 minutes in the first quarter.
    has 10 points on 5-6 shooting.
    Same old Geko's pulling their best player when he's rolling.
    Ibaka did so much better in his time on the court. 0-4

    I don't know who on that staff got the Rockets playing defense, but I know its not D'Antoni.

    Collectively, they're a bunch of subpar defenders outside of Beverly and Ariza, yet this year their defense is damn good.

    39 points on 14 FGA. It doesn't get much more efficient than that.

    Tony Parker is either absolute dogshit or a borderline top 10 PG at any given second. Aging is a motherfucker.

    Can't the fucking Spurs lose this series and make me happy for once! I hate that franchise like I hate the NE Patriots. I hate them with every fiber of my fucking body. They never do anything wrong! Their coach is some fucking savant. Their greatest player had some lame nickname and everybody respected him for every little thing he does. Every FA wants to play there and the rest of the league bends over backwards to take their unwanted players. The Blazers are the ugly younger sister who can't do anything right. Excuse me while I find a cheap inanimate collectable at my place and destroy it.

    Yeah, but Harden is the Jar Jar Binks of the basketball world.

    Harden isn't getting the fouls he usually gets. The refs have to make this a series.

    Oubre just played the mo Lucas enforcer role when down 0-2 in a series. That was awesome!
