Should be another playoff type of environment and game. Rockets will have to give it their all tonight. I feel like we pull it out tonight.

Is a must win for both sides. Rockets to stay in play for the 10th and the dubs to keep hope alive for the 8th.

Dubs "just" need to win out, while the rest cannibalize each other.

JK still listed as game time decision, along with GP2. Saric out. If Kuminga doesn't play again, I'm going to be really concerned about that knee.

HOU squad is made for JK. Its a shame he is out.

Tendinitis. You can play through it but why would they take any risk of further inflammation when it is likely they’ve accepted their fate of the 10th seed?

The smart money is on Draymond head butting the mop boy.

Rockets partial plan would be agitating the hell out of Green early on. Have Brooks chirp at him non stop early - tiny bumps, trash talking, light taunting. Have the bench talk some smack here and there.

Warriors and Green have to know that is their plan too and have to be extra careful about Green getting tied up with Brooks.

should be entertaining early on.

I wouldn't want him playing through pain, but I find it odd he's been GTD for 3-4 games now and continues to be out. I guess you never know with these things but seems like they should have known he was going to be out longer a week ago if it's that bad. But assuming he comes back before the end of the season, the good news is he should be pretty fresh if he can shake off the rust quickly.

Great start

Dubs just feeding klay. He's got the hot hand, let him eat. But he needs to do dribbling. Catch and shoot. Catch and shoot.

If the team was losing, I'm 100% sure he'd be playing. Since the team is playing so well, they are being extra cautious.

Klay on a heater, so kerr takes him out?

Has to adhere to his rotations. Can’t break from his programming

I wonder if Kerr is just being perverse sometimes. Very happy to play Klay when he has his shot going like this.

This unit need klay or jk for some scoring punch.

Will Draymond or Dillon get ejected?
