Warriors vs. Rockets Game Thread 2/13

Must win, even on a B2B. Houston is missing players like Tari Eason and a few others. Warriors need to be 3-1 in the Jimmy era heading into the ASB. Let's hope Steve plays Looney on Sengun a bunch.

Podz starting for Buddy, worth a shot after that Buddy disaster game. Fear the Broccoli!

Glad they are going for this one. Some thought was everyone would rest. These guys are in a dead heat for a playoff spot with 28 games left and are off for a week, try to win this one.

The vet teams do so much load management which is why I don't let the standings dictate who I see as the toughest playoff team. All the young teams have held the top standings spots. But even last year OKC came in as the #1 seed and lost in the Semis. The 5th place Mavs won the conference.

Dang.... Kerr is not a Chinese programed AI? Starting lineup is a lot better.

Draymond complains non stop that the refs have just become numb to it.

Rockets are sooooo cooked in the playoffs. They can't beat a basic zone.

Buddy with the shortest of leashes. When Kerr adjusts, he really commits to it.

Moody and Podz carrying the team so far.

Kerr should just read our posts instead of his chart... hahaha.

Spencer's unwillingness to try finishing over even marginal defenders like Sengun is a problem. Someone needs to get in his face and challenge him.

I feel bad for Looney. The refs are never going to respect him or give him the benefit of the doubt. All the refs see in him is 6 fouls.

What do you guys think our percentages are on those touchdown passes? Seems like 75% of them end in turnovers.

Draymond's pissed Moody came to help on Sengun. He doesn’t need any help on Sengun.

Im back in early first quarter, but i think its safe to say that Sengun is one of the most overrated players in the NBA. I hope he makes big money on the Rockets for a long time.
