    If the Rockets win, GSW headlines will read "well, we only lost our 'statement' making game cuz KD was out."

    We got bigger fish to fry.

    Rotations
    Minutes
    Chemistry
    Health
    Execution on offense and Defense
    Defensive communication

    The list goes on if we dont fix this will get beat by someone else

    Warriors keeping/hiding their main plays for the playoffs by sitting KD. Rockets shouldn't show all their cards tomorrow as well.

    The trap is cousins.

    Can't play Cousins can steal a game or two and that would be all they need

    Wouldn't be surprised if the Warriors play a tighter game without the sulking KD.

    KD made his statement just like when he joined the Warriors. Take the easy way out...

    The energy in TC is gonna be wild. I hope the Rockets use this game to make a statement and have some fun.

    honestly they might be better without KD. resort to the old 73-9 warriors.

    that being said, it takes away their best help defender. i'd say rest CP3 but we need that 2nd seed.

    Well that isn't completely true, that team had a healthier younger bogut and a secondary unit that was both younger and more athletic. The warriors lost a little bit of the prowess of that second unit getting KD, but anyone in their position would do that.

    With that said, I don't think we even have to make a statement tonight. We won 9 straight, and have looked shaky in the last two wins. A loss could also set this team up to refocus a bit. We don't have to make any statements, we just have to get right for the playoffs.

    Harden&
    Paul&
    Capela&
    Tucker&
    Gordon

    They're going to make t-shirts with that on it eventually.

    agreed. at this point, its just about getting to the playoffs first and foremost healthy and in a good rhythm as a team. There's no statement for the rockets to make. They know they can contend if they're healthy. that's all that matters
