saw this coming...

Quote:
Bitter Rockets fans took to Yelp to undermine Ayesha Curry's restaurant, International Smoke, before the Houston location even opened.
Curry's husband, Stephen, was an instrumental part of the Warriors' win over the Rockets in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals, ending the Rockets' season in heartbreak. The Warriors would go on to win their third championship in four years after defeating the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.
So, it would seem only natural that Rockets fans would take their anger out on a restaurant brazenly prepared to encroach on Houstonians' hallowed turf of basketball and barbecue.

"Seriously, why would you go here. There are a million great BBQ places in Houston which do not require you to sell your soul. Go Rockets!" one reviewer said.

"Terrible food.. keep your burnt bbq in California! This is H-Town.. They didn't even have moist brisket! Waited 35 mins for water and it tasted like Seth Curry tears! Will never be back! Can't support this place .. Harden MVP," another said.
Many of the one-star reviews are obscene, while others focus on Kevin Durant-related jokes. Others chose to mock the Warriors blowing a 3-1 series lead to the Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals.
"Warriors blew a 3-1 lead and that's just the facts. Avoid at all costs or you too will be cursed with a big ego and the obligation to become a Warriors bandwagon fan," a review said.
Warriors fans sought to combat the one-star reviews with a bombardment of five-star reviews of their own.

"attn salty rockets fans. have u no shame? (sic) blame your team 0 for 27 shooting in game 7 and choking away a 3-2 lead. not this establishment by which hasn't even opened. i'd say you're above this petty squabbling but you've proven me wrong. stay classy Houston. go dubs!" a five-star review said.

International Smoke will open its Houston location July 5.

I had no idea she dabbled in cue.

The plot will thicken if LeBron comes here. No way that restaurant survives here.

At first glance if the Nets don't re-sign Howard that might be a good deal for them to dump salary.

Unrelated, but I got a kick out of watching Shams and Woj go back and forth last night about Kawhi and Pop meeting on Tuesday or Thursday or whatever day. Those two have to hate each other (Shams and Woj)

Ryno + EG + cash for LeBron and the Cavs' owned Nets pick. Make it happen, Morey.

I was just thinking yesterday while watching Espn's mock draft that Grayson Allen would be a perfect fit for this team/offense. Not to stereotype, but he reminds me a lot of JJ Reddick. A shooter that can go on a roll as well as shoot off a pick. I think it would be a good fit...especially if we are sending Gordon off in a Lebron trade.

I saw a mock that had us taking Jevon Carter from WVU if we stay put in the second round. I would love that.

Here are some others if we stay at 46:
CBS Sports - Landry Shamet - G - Wichita State
Sporting News - Omari Spellman - C - Villanova
BR - Malik Newman - G - Kansas
SI - Devon Hall - G - Virginia

Grayson Allen trips Draymond. Draymond retaliates by kicking Grayson in the nuts. Both are ejected. Net win for the Rockets!

I am all for trading Gordon if that is the price to also get rid of Anderson. Then let Morey work his magic on free agents or other trades.

Dwight is getting bought out so he can ring chase. Can't wait for him to destroy whatever locker room he ends up in.

If you watched their team this year you would know that would never happen.

Grayson Allen going to the Jazz seems appropriate. He will fit right in.

I didn't think it was possible for me to hate the Jazz even more.

Then they draft poor man's John Stockton 2.0

And they all suck. Williams could have been dangerous in certain situations on that team.

The Ringer's mock had him going 23. Maybe a Luc/Ariza replacement in a few years? Sounds like he's a defense first guy.

Yea, I'm reading the same thing. NCAA investigation held him out last year, but sounds like a good value pick in the second round
