    It's about damn time. Even a soft D-Mo is better than useless Corey Brewer. Let's just hope that Beasley and KJ also get some meaningful minutes.

    Everytime I see Draymond, this is who I think of.

    Agreed Haymitch. Sorry for late reply. What happens if it's exactly a 20 point butt-whomping? (not 19 or 21).

    Anyway, I'm good for it. May the best team win, but not by as much as last time. :grin:

    This is like running a marathon at the North Pole, it's slow, it's cold, it's long, and you bring a sniper rifle to shoot polar bears that attack. But eventually you finish.

    Barkley: Could we get a good game? All our games, we had 3 blowouts. That's not fun. I want a good game tonight. If I don't get a good game tonight, I'll walk over there and slap the hell out of Shaq.

    Charles: I would not play him tonight. Long way off before next game. Rockets are awful. You don't need him. Rockets stink.

    Kenny: I wouldn't shut him down. I'd see how he looks. He knows his body.

    Shaq: He wants to play. There's a difference between being injured & hurt. Warm up. If he feels good, go play. If it nags, sit out. They're good enough to win without him at home.

    Charles: Factor in the history of his ankles. You have to look at the big picture.

    I don't think the Warriors without Curry are 13pts better than the Rockets. Also, that line has now been bet down to 12 and I also see Livingston on the injury report as questionable with an illness. Put a small bet on Houston +13 for the lulz bc I'll be at the game, so guess we'll see.

    The Rockets shock the world and put up a fight. We will have a chance to win tonight.

    Please don't' play Brewer.

    Curry is a gametime decision which means he is playing

    I'm shocked they aren't do a LeBron style decision hour long special for Curry. "Will he play tonight? Find out as ESPN waxes Curry's pole for 3 hours".

    It's sad, really. I hate that he got put in this situation by Morey and Les. For as bad as he is...he shouldn't have been given the job to begin with.

    He played it too safe this season. I hate that. He was playing with house money here. If he failed as a coach, he could chalk it up to a bad situation in future job interviews. If he succeeded, well we know the rest. He should have taken control of the team, even if it meant alienating Harden or Dwight. When the Rockets were garbage, sit them all to send a message. Don't sit them for a quarter or a half, sit them for games at a time. James doesn't want to play defense, sit him. Dwight doesn't feel he gets enough post ups? Sit him. Just show these guys you got nothing to lose. Instead, he tries to friend everyone and play it safe. That's on him, not management. Management gave him the chance to do what he wanted to.

    Brewer not starting is music to my ears. Unfortunately, he will play within the first 5 minutes and end up getting 30+ for the game I bet, all while McDaniels gets less than 10.
