00:00104-93, victory for Golden State behind 36 points from Steph.

00:06They got 17 from Buddy Heald off the bench, 16 more from Gary Payton II.

00:11Some regular postseason contributors for Golden State.

00:15And, Donnie, if you're looking at this Houston team

00:17and the referendum for the regular season,

00:20if Jalen Green is going to score in single digits,

00:23as he has done in game number one, in game number three,

00:26the Rockets have no shot.

00:27If he scores 38, as he did in game two,

00:31then, yeah, maybe Houston will look the part of a two-seed.

00:34Golden State takes a 2-1 series lead ahead of game four on this Monday night.

00:39Here's what I need now.

00:41And I don't know the status on Jimmy Butler coming up for game number four.

00:44But let's just say Jimmy Butler is out for the rest of the series.

00:47You tell me right now how we're going to have an NBA season of 82 games next year

00:52where the number two overall seed got whitewashed

00:55by a team without their second-best player

00:57I don't even know where I'm going to go.

01:00So the fact that I saw Jimmy Butler was down,

01:01I was like, oh, here come the Rockets.

01:02You're going to win game number three.

01:04Who knows what you have in game number four

01:05because it'll be a kitchen sink game at home for the Warriors.

01:07But at least you got a 2-2 at home court advantage back on your side.

01:10You're now looking at a chance without Jimmy Butler again in another game

01:14to be up 3-1 for the Warriors.

01:16We know how good Steph Curry is one of the best basketball players ever to lace them up.

01:20But that shouldn't be good enough for just him alone

01:22to beat a Rockets team that was a number two seed at this point.

01:25I'm baffled by this series and it made it even worse

01:27because if Jimmy Butler played all the way through,

01:29like, hey, you know what?

01:30Long series here and the Rockets got beat.

01:32I'd still be upset about it.

01:33But the fact that Jimmy Butler's missing full games just about

01:36and then the entirety of the last game

01:39and the Warriors are still up 2-1,

01:41stop the madness, man.

01:42Cut the regular season.

01:43I'm telling you, cut the regular season

01:44if the Rockets get washed out by Golden State.

01:46I'll see you soon.
