    Klay is going to play in game 4? It will be interesting to see how good he is. Hamstring injuries are not something to mess around with. The Warriors though I feel are trying to play mind games with their injuries right now (which I get) they've been purposefully vague about KD's injury and his time table and even with Klay's injury it was just a strain but not what level. He did look really upset on the bench, but again if Klay's issue isnt that serious it will be tested tomorrow night thats for sure.


    Curry played great and it was good to see him rise up and score nearly 50 points in such an important game, but 1 game isn't going to be a measuring stick for can he do this night in and night out. If Klay is ruled out for game 4 ultimately or if he re-aggravates it (hopefully not) at some point can Curry continue doing this game after game? If KD is still out for this series (and I feel he maybe out because the longer this series goes the less good it will be for him to return as he heads into free agency IMO) then I think the Raptors still may have enough defensively to compete with the Curry/Klay/Dray warriors.

    Rockets fandom is a democracy, not a dictatorship, so sit your Kim Jong-Un ass down.

    Good. Hope Raptors win it all and crap all over that dynasty so we can finally have some parity instead of teams with 1-2 all stars going up against a team with 4-5.

    Warriors = worst thing to happen to the league in a long, long time.

    but thats only because they expect klay and durant to return soon. if those two announced theyre done i doubt GSW will still be favored to win. but youre right curry was great. the guy refuses to lose. but we cant expect curry to carry the load this whole series. he aint exactly a tank or a donkey.

    Agree that hamstring issues can be tricky. Have seen players who have missed a majority of games in a season with it lingering...trying to come back too early could be disastrous.

    What goes around comes around. I’m sure it still sucks for Cavs fans to have to here about GS and and this all time great dynasty when they know that if Love and Kyrie were healthy Cleveland would have another title.

    No one cried for us last year after CP went down. The Warriors stacked the deck and have had unbelievable luck during this run. You could argue that 2 of GS’s were tainted due to injury. But know one will say that.

    Why do they deserve all of these excuses now? I hope they they stay hobbled and they get destroyed.

    Just spoke to Nicole Curran, the wife of Warriors owner Joe Lacob, about the “incident “ with Beyoncé last night. She was in tears. Said she had been getting death threats on social media all night this morning she disabled her IG account just to make it stop.

    Curran said she had no idea anything was even amiss until she got home and started seeing texts from friends and checked her social media. She’s invited Jay Z and Beyoncé to the game 3-4 times before. Last night she says she asked if they wanted drinks. Beyoncé asked for water

    Curran says Jay Z asked for a vodka soda. She asked if he wanted lime with that. But it was loud in Oracle and she couldn’t hear, so she leaned over. That’s where the photos of Beyoncé looking askance at her come from.

    Curran says she then went to go get them those drinks. “There was no hostility. I was trying to be a good hostess,” she said. “I’ve never experienced cyber bullying like this. I can’t believe our players go through this. That kids go through this.“

    If we vote on it, you will lose and you better hope the winning side doesn’t have Kim Jong-Un proclivities.

    WTF are you even talking about man, just because you have some strange insecurities doesn't give you the right to shut other fans up. The original line was half in jest but also half in frustration. The Rockets lost games 5 and 6 to the Warriors even with KD's injury, so yeah, the team already showed that we'd screw up when given the opportunity. Not even allowing a different take on a hypothetical? You are worse than Kim.
