This is not the game to trust Jimmy, or the Warriors for that matter. LOL

Rockets are getting a really bad whistle this quarter.

That Draymond push into butler was like RJ Jefferson stepping on Tim Duncan when he was on the Spurs.

How is that not a flagrant.

He couldn’t have avoided it because loser Draymond pushed his momentum forward


Dray barely touched him. No push.

And Thompson flaled his arms and body underneath Jimmy.

That's a bad bet considering Butler basically admitted after Game 1 their job was done.


Meh, don't view that as saying he won't play. It's Playoff Butler.

Now the fall will probably kill it.

Which is crazy cause he came into the league as a twig.

And the reason why Johnny Flynn was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves as the sixth overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.

The twig was drafted 7th.

2nd time now I've seen Jabari got beat clean by guards this quarter. Pretty disappointing for a defensive specialist.

And Jimmy told Hield to stop dribbling lol.

Shut up Jimmy.

Hield showed he got a little handle.
