BigBlueUpdates+FollowGame 2 Blowout: Warriors' 94-109 Loss to Rockets Shocks FansOh man, what a tough loss for the Warriors in Game 2 of the NBA playoffs! They went down 94-109 to the Rockets, and it wasn't a pretty sight. Right from the start, things got crazy. In the first quarter, Amon-Ra St. Thompson went for a rebound and lost his balance, crashing into Jimmy Butler who was in the air. Butler fell hard and had to head straight to the locker room. The refs called it a regular defensive foul, but that didn't change the fact that it was a scary moment. To make matters worse, the Warriors announced that Butler wouldn't be back for this game due to a pelvic contusion. That's a huge loss for them. The Rockets capitalized on this and ran away with the game. It's gonna be interesting to see how the Warriors respond in Game 3. #NBAPlayoffs #Warriors #Rockets #AmenThompson #JimmyButler #PelvicInjury50Share
William Wright+FollowJimmy Butler Out for Warriors' Game 2 vs Rockets Due to InjuryThe Golden State Warriors faced a tough blow in Game 2 against the Houston Rockets as Jimmy Butler was ruled out for the remainder of the game due to a pelvis contusion. The six-time All-Star went down hard in the first quarter after a collision and couldn't continue. His absence was deeply felt as the Warriors had to dig deep into their bench, with 12 different players seeing action. Butler was phenomenal in Game 1, contributing 25 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and five steals in a narrow victory. His impact has been huge since joining from the Miami Heat. The Warriors will surely miss his leadership and scoring prowess. How do you think they'll cope without him? #NBA #Warriors #Rockets #PelvisContusion133Share
Amy Tanner+FollowNo VanVleet in KD Trade? What’s Next for Suns?Looks like the Suns’ hunt for a blockbuster Kevin Durant trade just got a twist—Fred VanVleet won’t be part of any deal with Houston. Shams says the Rockets want to keep Steady Freddy for a longer run, so Phoenix will have to look elsewhere for a trade partner or target someone like Jalen Green instead. With the NBA Draft coming up, do you think the Suns should push for Green or pivot to another team? Let’s hear your takes! #Suns #Rockets #KevinDurant #Sports #Basketball00Share
Nicole Obrien+FollowCould KD Head to Houston After Adams Deal?Big news on the KD front! With the Rockets locking up Steven Adams, it looks like they’re out on drafting a center at No. 10. That pick could be in play for a blockbuster with the Suns, who are shopping the Slim Reaper before the draft. If Phoenix grabs Jalen Green, Cam Whitmore, and that lottery pick, is that enough to send Durant packing? This could totally shake up the West! #NBA #Suns #Rockets #Sports #Basketball00Share
Patrick Gonzales+FollowChef Curry Schools JG4 in Game 3 DuelWow, what a swing in this Rockets-Warriors series! After JG4 torched Golden State in Game 2, Chef Curry came back with a vengeance, dropping 36 and nearly notching a triple-double. Coach Udoka admitted the Rockets knew the Warriors would target Jalen on D, but Houston just couldn’t capitalize on their open looks—especially in the paint. Meanwhile, Payton and Hield stepped up big for the Dubs’ bench, outscoring Houston’s reserves. Even without Jimmy Buckets, the Warriors proved they’re still a threat. Can the Rockets adjust for Game 4? #Rockets #Warriors #NBAPlayoffs #StephCurry #JalenGreen #Sports150Share
guerrajohn+FollowWill Buckets Return for Game 4 vs Rockets?Big news for Dub Nation: Jimmy "Buckets" Butler is officially questionable for Game 4 after that scary fall in Game 2 against Houston. Thankfully, no fracture or major damage—just a pelvic contusion. Butler’s known for playing through pain (remember his Heat run?), so don’t be surprised if he suits up with the Warriors eyeing a 3-1 lead. Meanwhile, Steph was vintage in Game 3, and the bench stepped up big. Rockets fans, do you think Butler’s return swings the series? #DubNation #JimmyBuckets #NBAPlayoffs #Warriors #Rockets #Sports50Share
Ryan Lopez+FollowChef Curry Cooks Rockets—What Went Wrong?Wow, Game 3 was a tough one for H-Town fans. With Jimmy Buckets sidelined, you’d think the Rockets could lock down the Splash Bros, but Chef Curry had other plans—dropping 36 and torching Houston’s defense off the ball. Coach Udoka called out the team’s communication lapses, especially letting Steph get too many open looks. Now, with Butler likely back for Game 4, can the Rockets adjust and keep their playoff hopes alive? This rivalry just got even spicier! #NBAPlayoffs #Rockets #Warriors #StephenCurry #ImeUdoka #Sports160Share
Brian Gaines+FollowDo the Rockets Need Their Own Curry?Tough loss for H-Town last night—Chef Curry just cooked us again in crunch time. The Rockets hung in there, but when it mattered, Golden State had the superstar difference. Jalen Green flashed in Game 2, but couldn’t find his groove this time. Is this the moment we realize the Rockets need that true alpha scorer to go toe-to-toe with the league’s MVPs? Or will Sengun or Green step up before it’s too late? Let’s hear your takes! #Rockets #Warriors #NBAPlayoffs #JalenGreen #StephenCurry #Sports80Share
Susan Reeves+FollowWarriors Injury Woes: Can Steph Save Game 3?Tough break for Dub Nation! After the Rockets evened the series, the Warriors might be without both Jimmy Buckets (Butler) and GP2 for Game 3 in San Francisco. Butler’s nasty fall in Game 2 has him questionable with a pelvis/glute injury, and Payton II is nursing a shoulder strain. With Brandin Podziemski back healthy, the pressure’s on Chef Curry and Draymond to step up. Will Kuminga rise to the occasion if the Warriors are shorthanded? Saturday’s matchup just got a lot more interesting! #DubNation #NBAPlayoffs #Warriors #Rockets #InjuryReport #Sports30Share
Susan Reeves+FollowIs Udoka’s Grit Making Houston a Target?Stephen A. Smith just called out Coach Udoka for telling the world the Rockets are embracing their "chippy" rep against the Dubs. SAS thinks that by owning the physical play, Houston’s painting a bullseye on their backs—not just for Draymond & Co., but for the refs too. With the Rockets’ young guns pushing the limits and the Warriors leaning on their championship poise, is Udoka’s strategy bold or risky? Could this cost H-Town crucial calls down the stretch? Let’s hear your takes! #Rockets #Warriors #NBAPlayoffs #ImeUdoka #StephenASmith #ChippyPlay #Sports83Share
