This is the laziest analysis I have heard in a long time. It would make me respect your ball knowledge more if I believed you didn’t watch the Rockets-Thunder game. If your modus operandi is to enter every discussion with a built-in bias to confirm your pre-conceived beliefs/takes…then congratulations you’re succeeding.
