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
Susan Reeves+FollowPlayoff Jimmy's Status: Will He Suit Up?Tough break for Dub Nation—Jimmy Buckets went down with a glute contusion in Game 2 against the Rockets, and now his status for Game 3 is up in the air. MRI says no structural damage (huge sigh of relief), but it’s all about pain tolerance now. Remember, Butler played through this same injury in 2023. If Playoff Jimmy finds a way to suit up Saturday, Chase Center will go wild. But if not, it’s time for the role players to step up and keep the rivalry with Houston alive! #DubNation #PlayoffJimmy #NBAPlayoffs #Warriors #Rockets #InjuryUpdate #Sports1711Share
ForEverWarriors nba+FollowButler's Injury Mystery: Will He Play Game 3 Against Rockets?Butler's injury status for Game 3 against the Rockets is up in the air! Man, this is some nerve - wracking news! Jimmy Butler has been diagnosed with a deep gluteal contusion. Whether he can take the court for Game 3 against the Houston Rockets is anyone's guess right now. Thank goodness Shams reported that there are no fractures or structural damage. But still, his status for Game 3 is listed as questionable, which means there's only a 50% chance he'll play. Butler is such a key player for the Heat. Without him, their offense and defense will surely take a hit. I'm crossing my fingers that he can miraculously recover in time and suit up for the crucial Game 3. What do you guys think? #JimmyButler #Heat #Rockets #Game3 #InjuryUpdate #QuestionableStatus #NBAPlayoffs43Share

NBA sniff+FollowTim Legler Calls Out the Butler 'Foul' Hype!Former NBA three - point contest champ Tim Legler was on a show talking about Jimmy Butler's injury in the Warriors - Rockets game yesterday. He straight up said, "Anyone with eyes can see that Ammon Thompson tripped and accidentally hit Butler." And he's right! Unless you're a die - hard Warriors fan, there's no way you'd think it was on purpose. It's as simple as that. Butler left the game after getting hurt, and we still don't have any updates on his injury. But let's be real, this whole situation has been blown way out of proportion. #TimLegler #JimmyButler #AmmonThompson #Warriors #Rockets #InjuryUpdate #BasketballDrama1716Share
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
