This will be a blowout victory for the Rockets. Warriors did what they came to do which was steal one. Wouldn't be surprised if they rested their guys in the 4th for Game 3.

Steven Adams is a difference maker still. Just being a big body.

He has the same injury Steph had, which took him out for 6 days or so.

Every Warrior not named Steph or Jimmy has been utter trash, Draymond most of all. My God, none of them are expected to do anything on offense but make an open jumper and even that is too hard for them. They should give their salaries to charity.

To give credit, Rockets are playing well, they would win even if Butler were on the court.

He's atrocious. I can't believe people are angry about KErr slashing his minutes post-Butler.

Not that I think Kuminga is anything special lol but to be fair the kid is in & out of the lineup when that's difficult even for vet players to manage, now add to it he's being in against a very physical/athletic defence in HOU that is playing at a high intensity....that's a lot to just step into sort of "cold" off the bench and outta nowhere.

We just witnessed Amen Thompson's greatest contribution to his team this series -- taking out Jimmy Butler lol. This series is over if he misses any kind of extended time.

It's absolutely hilarious that people are trying to blame Dray for this Wasn't even reviewed, great job refs.

It looks like it's Steven Adams who bumps Amen off balance sending him to the ground

Dray did NOT push Thompson.

People are lying their asses off.

Warriors are still the favorites to win this series even if they lose this game. Losing Jimmy? Now it’s a tossup. (But no, injury looked scary but he should be healthy and playing in Game 3)

They will get absolutely smacked without Curry. They have nothing even close to a 2nd or 3rd option without Jimmy. The fact that they've already ruled him out of this game is not a good sign. Injuries **** suck.

Well this game is over since Jimmy is out.

What if sengun could make wide open 8 footers?

Where's all the same outrage we saw for Zaza undercutting Kawhi?

Sengun has got to stop turning the ball over.

Who wins?
