Put on a big bandage, and came right back out! Then, he went back to the locker room to either get stitches, remove all the blood, or both.

Butler out for game with pelvis contusion after a hard fall when being undercut. Pretty bozo play by Amen Thompson.

If he misses additional games that is enormous.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Curry getting held every possession is incredible stuff

He wasn't undercut - Thompson was scrumming with Draymond and fell to the ground.

If anything, I thought Draymond pushed Thompson into Butler

I’ll say it… not a Brunson fan.

so explain on that last minute clock fiasco? why did detroit get the ball? if the horn goes off and no one has control don't you do a jump ball in the NBA?

That was an absolute disaster and definitely exposed a flaw in the rules that they need to correct.

If - IF - Kawhi keeps playing like this, the Clippers may be the only team that can beat OKC in the West.

So rockets play GSW. Then two days off.
They play another game. Then two more days off.

They will have plated 3 games in 8days by the time game 4 tips off. This is beyond stupid and rewards old teams with no depth

Green pushed amens shoulder in the direction of butler. It’s their own goon who was at fault.

It's like watching SU vs Pitt or SU vs L'ville in the Dixon and Pitino eras respectively

Lakers getting the same treatment. The extra rest definitely helped them win Game 2.

First home game for GSW in this 1-1 series I'm betting the Warriors under the hypothesis that the refs will call it tight.

Is Butler playing?

 

[kirbivore]

Is Butler playing?

Is Jimmy Butler playing today for the Golden State Warriors?​

As of Saturday afternoon, it’s still unclear. The Warriors will assess Butler’s response to his pre-game workout and will make a game-time decision on his availability for Game 3 against the Houston Rockets, a person with knowledge of the matter confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.

With the uncertainty GSW is still favored. That's all I need.

The Rockets just aren’t good enough yet. No excuse to lose to the Warriors without Butler.

well. there sort of is. the warriors are better and have a better coach. Ime cant coach offense to save his life and his rotations are mind blowingly dumb. Rockets cant score to save their lives.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

That’s a clear and obvious foul on hart
Pathetic nba

Also Brunson is a punk

 

[NineOneSeven]

Knicks steal won. Bad no call on that last shot attempt.

I’ve seen 10 worse no calls per game in the Rockets/Warriors series.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

In his 13 year NBA career, Larry Bird made 649 threes.

Since joining the Celtics in 2022, Derrick White has made 645 threes.

Larry with today’s rules would be absolutely unstoppable.

That wasn’t his fault. He slipped.

3 games
None were close down the stretch
Vs
a game winning shot attempt.
