I really hope the Thunder have a good showing tonight against the Clippers. I want them to help out NOP, plus it’s a better than average team that they should beat if they are going to be a contender.

It would be fun to see Houston win too, but I’m not optimistic - Steph has been really good lately and no Harden.

12 games yesterday, only 2 games today. NBA needs to do a better job in striking balance with these.

Damn no KD. Guess the Warriors gotta try to win this game with only a 2 time MVP, a DPOY and probably the best spot up 3pt shooter of all time. That's rough.

No KD, No Harden.

Even matchup with Rockets playing at home. Should be a good game.

after 18 months (and a title) I still can't get my head around the idea of KD on the Warriors

Hopefully we get a vintage 2015-2016 Curry explosion playing without KD

I do not expect the Rockets to win tonight, but this comment is very shortsighted. The Rockets do own a win over the Warriors already this season when everyone was playing. Tonight the Rockets are too banged up and a team can't beat the Warriors unless they're firing on all cylinders, but acting like the Rockets do not have a chance is so last season.

This game was on my calander for about a month, with the injury of Harden & KD this game feels meaningless. Sigh

you shouldn't, what he did was the weakest move in sports history.

No KD.. At least he will break his 20,000 points playing at home in front of his fans at Staples Center.

This game certainly is big for rockets top seed chances. Need it really to still be in with a good shot at it.
