    Boogie killed us last game, or we would of swept those chumps. Losing a 31 point lead is more devastating than losing an injury-prone player, or player want to be injured player (TMac knows this answer).

    Do any of u remember what Cousins did to the Rockets in the last game of the season? Looney aint never gonna do that **** in his life ok so yes the Warriors did get a little worse after that.

    Who else feels that KD doesn’t give 100% to the warriors any more. Sure looks like one foot is already out of the door

    First thing I thought about was Charles Barkley’s torn quad. Barkley’s looked all rolled up. This looked like something similar.

    Think Anthony Davis. How many games has he sat out for injury, rest, or whatever they come up with?!?!?!?

    Yall chill and lets beat the Jazz first, and then if we face them and we beat them they can't use any injury excuse to any of their players since all of their championships came with the help of their opponent injuries at the WCF. I don't give a flying **** what they say, boogie or no boogie beat the **** out of those assholes.

    The video coordinators for the Rockets need to bundle up this game, last year’s Utah game 2 loss, and the OKC last game of the season loss into a compilation. Just as a reminder to the Rockets not to become complacent.

    Golden State is potentially in real deep trouble. If Cousins is out, the GSW’s bench is going to suffer badly. If the bench can’t hold a 31 point lead Kerr will be forced to extend the starter’s minutes substantially.

    The Rockets need to focus on sweeping Utah if possible, while using this game as a cautionary tale.

    I feel very very bad for Boogie. Of all the non-Rockets players in the NBA, Cousins is probably my favorite. Get well soon, DeMarcus.

    IDGAF what they say. Do they ever bring up how many banged up teams GS went through to get their championships? All three of their trophies had main stars on the other teams sitting out. If we beat them then the haters can kiss my ass.

    even w/ mauer running the show and a nice 45-31 FT disparity (it takes us like 3 games to get 45 FTs these days), these f'n snowflakes still couldn't finish the game lol

    I'm kinda torn on Cousins. He was exploitable on his D, but his O gave them a different look.
    And he's one less NBA rotation player on their roster.

    Though it's debatable if Cousin's absence means much against Houston, I think it definitely makes the Clippers a tougher out for them.
    I don't think the Clippers are coming back from a 30 point deficit if Cousins is healthy.

    So at the very least, losing Cousins means the Warriors are going to be more worn out when they get to the next round, which helps the Rockets.
