They have 9 games till Dec 1 and there's the Cup break and spaced out till Dec 11(which is a month from now). We have some winnable games. Pels, one of Mavs/Grizz, Kings, Jazz, Clippers.
"Steph Curry left the arena in the second half for an MRI, per Kerr. Curry told him it was a tweak in abdomen/side and something he hadn’t felt before. Said there was a high level of concern until they get test results back."
Brian Sutterer seems to think it's an abdominal or oblique strain based on the video and Steph's reaction. Wide range of outcomes for potential time missed ranging from a few days to several months, depending on the severity and the specific muscles strained. From the data he presented, 83% of the 81 similar strains in the NBA from 2005 until present returned within 3 weeks. Hoping for the lower side of that, obviously.
Udoka is a low IQ coach because every time the Dubs play his team, all he can use as a strategy to stop Steph is excessive physicality. I hate him and the players who follow his lead.
On the other hand, I love the Dubs. They’re a team and fought together. Shout out to Bassey for keeping a cool head.
Great fight from the team after steph went down. Also I hate watching the rockets play. The combination of constant grabbing and fouling but then also flopping and yelling at the refs is unbearable.
Welp. Time to put Steph on ice and bubble wrap until early April. Yackety Yax can carry the team to the Play-In just in time for Steph and Playoff Jimmy to unleash Hell.
So unfortunate to lose Steph 5 minutes into the road trip, especially with our existing injuries. We really need to pull out the Pelicans game and then maybe put all our chips on the Memphis game instead of the Dallas game?

Sengun is a dirty player
This is probably how it felt to play against Zaza, but Zaza wasn’t an actor on top of it.
Sengoon.
Fuck Sengun and Fuck Marcus Smart. That is all.
They have 9 games till Dec 1 and there's the Cup break and spaced out till Dec 11(which is a month from now). We have some winnable games. Pels, one of Mavs/Grizz, Kings, Jazz, Clippers.
Oh boy!

AND A HUGE FU to the entire rockets organization and franchise - POSs
Ah sigh @ Slater's last tweet. Keep hope alive... #lesigh
What was it for those of us who don't go there?
That Steph went to get an MRI and that it wasn't something he felt before and that there's a high level of concern till they get the results back.
I refuse to catastrophise and am hoping he's back within a couple of weeks instead of a month.

I mean Marcus Smart. Damn. Bassey completely did not even react. Like a boss.
Bassey handled it like the strong, confident man he is. Marcus Smart is a punk (not in a good way).

Can’t really be mad with Steph out. Yaxel looked too passive when they put amen on him in the 4th but then because of that, podz took over.
We should just rest our starters every time we play the rockets. Why risk it
PTSD from Montejunas sweating up the entire floor that derailed the 73-9 team's Playoffs run.
Wasn't gonna happen with them being the first game, we would've rested if they were part of the back to back
