Yet, he played a clearly ill Podz. My guess is because Spencer is truly a break glass in case of emergency guy for them at this stage of the season. But like his younger brother, he's a gamer.

And if I'm Kerr I'm resting Dray just to avoid stupidity. Maybe leave Curry to spam a couple of 3s.


welp, you can't stop Dray from losing his cool

Draymond getting ejected to end this game would be the most normal outcome

LMAO.

Even the Warriors announcers were completely assuming a Dre ejection. I was in the middle of writing a satirical post about how the obvious call was a T2 on Dillon Brooks when they one-upped me.

Butler will be the story in this game but Rockets came out swinging. I believe they were up 8 when Butler went down, 10 minutes into the game. It felt like Rockets were going to win this by double digits from early on. Really good response by the young team. Game 3 will be the real test, on the road in a pivotal game coming off of a win.
