    HAHAHA they just keep coming out with new awards. TF is a Hussle Award?

    Is it a nice little pat of the back for not winning DPOY?

    I don't think Jimmy Butler plays game 3. And if he does, it'll be on painkillers. Absolutely target him on defense until he either proves he can play through it or the Warriors have to concede and sit him out.

    The rock fight continues, I'm sure the refs will be blowing whistle early and often. Especially if Jimmy's out, I'd bet they try to start a scrum to get some Rockets ejected. This is the perfect chance to rope-a-dope and let them fall into the trap, get someone kicked or suspended. They're all upset about an obvious accident but if anything like Spencer hitting Amen happens again? I mean...

    My wild guess is it's 90%+ chance Butler plays. Warriors will come out with every cannon blazing and will play every trick up their sleeve for the entire 1st half and maybe longer because if the Rockets win game 3, they are pretty much cooked.

    Rockets must avoid scoring draughts, foul trouble and falling behind too far. If the game is close midway in the 3rd quarter, I will be a very happy camper.

    It's "the things that show up on the box score" so basically when he hits people in the nuts or elbows their faces off and stuff.

    Jimmy Buckets returns and scores 50 in an epic game 3 win for the Warriors that will forever be remembered as the Jimmy Buttocks game.

    Kerr Today: "They're not your typical modern nba team in terms of spreading you out and shooting a million threes. They know where their strength lies . They're modeled like their coach. Ime was gritty, tough. It felt like 1997 out there for me."

    1997 you say.
