Laaaaame

Tell me about it. Worst way to get hurt other than turning your ankle. Hate that shit

A whistle every 30 seconds

I’m watching baseball lol

That first quarter felt long....

MRI tomorrow for Cousins

Gonna need him for the Rockets, for sure. I'd rest him the rest of this series

 

[bksballer89]

Shout out to the Warriors for telling me to take my ass to bed lol.

We lost Paul to a hammy last year ... You'll be fine without Cousins

I disagree.

I actually think the Rockets are the 1 team they don't need him for. I like their chances better with Bogut, Looney and Draymond splitting up the 5 minutes against the Rockets.

Boogie can't guard in space and that is all the Rockets make him do.

Take you lot time Boogie. Come back for the WCF.

No, the Rockets are good and the only reason they kept it close last year was Iggy going down after game 3.

Warriors clear favorites (but not by a lot) at full strength this year. But the Rockets are very very good and without Boogie that's a 7 game series IMO. I used to think he hurt the team but he's gotten better lately and they need all they got to beat the Rockets.

Now, if Paul does his usual thing and gets hurt again, like he always does, then they don't need Cousins at all.

Some good points, I hope you're right. Definitely don't play the Clippers anymore.

Curry owns the Clippers

I think this game is being pretty poorly officiated.

Not favoring one team or the other, but damn.

The refs let them play physical on and off ball for 2 or 3 possessions, then they call a random touch foul.

I really don't care if they call it tighter or let more contact go, but pick a side and be consistent please.

This looks...not great.

Not great no but doesn't look like a tear. Maybe a Charlie horse muscle spasm kind of thing. We'll see

We've managed Paul mins this year a lot better than last year. Last year we went all out and tried to win 80 games. This year we've just tried to make he playoff healthy... and did.

We may not be favored to beat the Warriors but we are the only team that can take them to a 7th game... And if we get to a 7th game anything can happen.

Losing Paul last year hurt us a lot more than you losing Iggy. We were up 3 games to 2 when we lost Paul... After that we lose 2 games badly..

This year with Paul on the floor and Harden on the bench we are +10 points against opponents. With both Paul and Harden on the floor we are +8.

Some excellent points here, and yes Paul matters more than Iggy, but if Iggy is healthy you don't get up 3 games to 2. After he went down the Warriors lost 2 games by one possession each, and that was when Paul played.

But yes the Rockets are by far the toughest team for the Ws out West

No way.

That was a non contact injury.

My bet is that Boogie is done.

Then the Ws are in trouble, maybe not in the West but all hands on deck vs Toronto or Milwaukee. And by trouble I mean they go from big favorites to much smaller ones vs the Rockets and in the Finals
