    Let's hope so! We're not going to have Eric tomorrow, and I'm not really banking on Ennis playing, either. We're going to need the maximum possible output from our role players (PJ...) and secondary players in the rotation (looking at you, Gary) for us to have a chance at beating GS at home.

    I can't watch this game. I just can't stomach the Warriors, so don't enjoy watching them EVER. Curry makes my stomach turn when he stands there chewing on his mouthpiece, with it hanging out of his mouth. I can't stand his smirky arrogance, or anything else about him, and so that is one team I dont even want to watch us play.

    You're supposed to love your team more than you hate the enemy.

    I understand. There is a lot to dislike about GS. They are arrogant, smug, entitled, and have an overall crappy attitude. Plus their coach is a jerk who thinks he is a political scientist. I do like Klay Thompson. He just seems like a nice guy.

    I can’t wait to let all the salty fans know how many FTs Harden had when he whoops on that Worrier ass. Damn I’m excited.

    You know the Warriors will not want to lose to a Rockets team minus Eric and Chris so they will bring their A game hence I’ll be happy with a hard fought close loss with all that talent we are missing. I doubt even Harden can take on 4 all stars and win on their court

    A tie breaker later in the season could be key. I say don't Rush anyone back but go for it

    Unfortunately don't see a good outcome for this game. We are playing on the road and role players usually play worse on the road. Plus if Eric is not playing it makes the odds even worse. I'll be happy if we just don't get blown out.
