The Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets are locking horns in a game that, on paper, should’ve been electric. After all, we’ve got Stephen Curry on one end and rising talents like Jabari Smith Jr. on the other. But sometimes, what unfolds on the hardwood doesn’t match the hype — especially when both teams are shooting like the rim’s got a lid on it.
By the time the second quarter rolled around, the Warriors were dragging their feet at a bleak 30% from the field. The Rockets weren’t much better. And just as Jabari Smith finally bottomed his second three, NBC’s broadcast booth couldn’t hold back their disbelief — or their sarcasm.
That’s when the subtle jabs started flying. But not at the players on the floor. No, the unexpected target? The NCAA Tournament. “All teams at 34% shooting,” one of the broadcasters noted, barely holding back a chuckle. “I feel like I’m watching an NCAA Tournament game.”
The jab didn’t stop there. As the cameras followed a sloppy possession — “Behind the pass to Adams, lost the handle there” — another voice chimed in, roasting March Madness for its well-known shooting droughts. “March Madness heavy delays has been catching strays all month. Nobody can shoot.”
