Any chance that Jimmy Butler will miss Game 3 on Saturday night? He's not returning in the second half tonight.
They get two days off after tonight so big game Jimmy will probably be back. This series may go seven games...
But I'm not too worried about that right now. Just tie this series 1-1. And then Game 3 at San Francisco will be fun.

Jimmy Butler is from Tomball, Texas. He grew up a Rockets fan. We tried to acquire him when we had Harden, CP3 and Capela.
Would've been fun to have him in his younger days. May have helped beat the Warriors in the 2018 Western Conference Finals.

Feels like the Rockets are up by 20 or 30 points. You look up the Warriors are down 13. It's wild how they've stayed in this game.
The Rockets better put their foot on the gas in the 4th quarter and put them away. Tie this series 1-1. Can't let them hang around.

And Jalen Green just turned into Kobe Bryant these last three possessions. All is good again. Rockets in control. I was worried for nothing.

30 points for Jalen Green. I said he'd respond with 35 points before the game. I hope he goes for 40! But he showed up tonight.
Once this game is blown open just take the starters out. Can't risk an injury right now. Game 3 Saturday will determine this series.

I'll take that elbow to Draymond's face. I'll take Steph playing 40 minutes.
Even if this game has gotten way too close for comfort down the stretch,
Rockets need to finish. Damn. We're so sloppy. But be physical always!!

Before this series is over i believe a big brawl will erupt and Draymond Green will have blood pouring down his face.

Jalen Green again!! Where was that in Game 1?

99-80 Rockets with 5:23 left. Now up 19 points. They can probably take starters out now.

Game 3 on Saturday night in San Francisco is going to be a battle of heavyweights!! I can't wait. Two days off but they feel better after a win.

104-87 Rockets with 3:40 left. Jalen Green has 38 points. He's still in the game. Maybe get one more slam for 40 points.

Rockets win, 109-94. I feel so good after this Game 2 win. I'm tired but I'm going to eat some cupcakes, drink an A&W root beer, watch Teaching Mrs. Tingle on Prime Video (old movie with a young Katie Holmes) and play Hardcore Ladder Slasher for an hour or two. If I can stay awake. I'm falling asleep. Game 3 on Saturday night will be for all the marbles. Be ready for that epic game!!
