Draymond has to without question be the biggest ***** in the NBA
Do any players other than GS and former GS players even like him at all off the court. Must be a lonely life

That rake to the face of Alpy by Hield was way worse than what Jalen did

After all that a Tech on the Rockets hahaha
How in the world did tari get a tech there
These freaking refs - so much protecting the Warriors (and Green).
Green gets to keep being an ass because they don't want to give him another T, geez
Time for a hard foul on Curry

Now we're talking
Refs would eject our player from the league and then call a T on Tari for existing.CFTXAG10 said:

Need Jalen to get 40 here. Would help me with so many agendas
A Matt Maloney reference.
I think the Rockets finally stopped paying him a couple years ago.

Sweet win. Some shots were falling and we looked more physical.
Let's see if Butler will be ready for Saturday.

Happy to be wrong about my pregame prediction, Jalen was phenomenal.
I hope Butler's ass is broken.

If Butler is shelved for even a couple of games I really like our odds. They are below average without him.
I love the way we're attacking Steph on the dribble for the full court, it's definitely throwing him off offensively.
And most importantly, the several times we got the whole crowd into "F U Draymon" was peak fandom.
The See You Next Tuesday owners wife for the warriors turned around and tried to shade us for "that's real
Classy" literally while Draymon was busy starting yet another altercation. It was perfect timing to shut her up.
Gosh I hope we beat these jackasses.

I think we blow them out tonight. I think we play with pace and energy the whole game and win by 15+.
Curry had a pelvic contusion earlier in the season and missed 2 games, but then had to deal with pain management. Butler's style of play is far more physical than Curry's so, if he's playing hurt, that's trouble for him/them. I suppose I should make the speech about never wishing anyone to get hurt, but I want the Rockets to win so too bad, Butler.
The roar of FU Draymond that can't be silenced on National TV is a real standout of the series so far.

I would prefer if Butler played because I like watching players like him in the highest settings.
But whatever, Go Rockets!

I never want someone to be injured but if he's out, I won't cry about it. Rockets should've been champs in 2018, that Chris Paul injury still stings.
I was thinking the same thing about the year when T-Mac and Yao and Mutombo all got hurt and they still pushed the Fakers to 7 games in the WCSF.george07 said:

Thirty years ago last night, the Rockets lost their regular season finale to Utah by 6, part of a 3-game losing streak to end the season and a 7-11 skid through their last 18 games that took them from 40-24 record to a 47-35 conclusion.
On March 24th, they were the 4th seed and looking at first-round matchup hosting the Lakers.
By April 23rd, they were down to the 6th seed and going on the road to Utah after losing to them twice in the last 3 games of the year - a 19-point sheetkicking on the road and then a 6-point loss at home. Karl Malone had 45 points in that first game, and just missed a triple-double in the second.
Four nights later, the first playoff game - also a loss - was most memorable for Vernon Maxwell going into the stands to try to murder a Jazz fan, and never playing for the Rockets again.
The Rockets then went 15-6 the rest of the way for a title.

The Mad Max incident may have been Portland, right?
The classic Rudy T line came after that playoff series:
"Never underestimate the heart of a champion."

Mad Max attacked the fan in February in Portland and got suspended for 10 games. He then got bitter for being benched after Clyde came to the team, quit the team when we played the Jazz in round 1 and never played again for the Rockets because he got waived.
well clearly 30 years has made an old man out of me, thanks for the corrections guys lol
