Everything feels stacked against the Warriors tonight: Hostile road environment, lost last two games, Rockets have confidence and momentum, Kerr uncertain about starting lineup and rotations, short-fused ref. Which probably means Warriors win.

If Jimmy Butler takes -- and makes -- more 3-pointers against the Rockets, this might be why.

Was Dillon Brooks talking about Draymond ... or one of his temperamental Rockets teammates? 😏

I put together the Warriors' playoff/play-in scenarios for tomorrow. The Warriors' playoff fate became clearer last night. Here are Golden State's scenarios -- win or lose -- heading into Sunday's slate of games.

Steve Kerr made a frank admission about the Jonathan Kuminga-Draymond Green-Jimmy Butler lineup.

The Warriors got the help they needed tonight with the Timberwolves blowing out the Grizzlies.

Steve Kerr detailed why he trolled Buddy Hield in a viral moment with Steph Curry two nights ago 😂

Gary Payton II and Quinten Post haven't yet been cleared for tomorrow's Warriors-Blazers game, but Steve Kerr provided a hopeful update on the role players.

Wild. Since the Warriors won in 2015: 2015: Kerr still there 2016: Ty Lue OUT 2017: Kerr still there 2018: Kerr still there 2019: Nick Nurse OUT 2020: Frank Vogel OUT 2021: Budenholzer OUT 2022: Kerr still there 2023: Malone OUT 2024: Mazzulla still there...for now.

Timberwolves and Grizzlies won, so the Warriors need to beat the Lakers to hold onto the No. 5 seed.

Every game the Warriors play the rest of the regular season is a Game 7. Tonight's game against the Lakers is massive to stay out of the play-in. The Timberwolves and Grizzlies both have winnable games tonight. If they win and the Warriors lose, GSW tumbles to 8th. Clippers have the tiebreaker.

"K, you gonna root for us when you're watching us in the playoffs from home?" -- Draymond, hopefully.

The Warriors understand how monumentally important tonight's game is.

Happy baseball season to all who observe.

The NBA needs to quickly schedule a few games for 6pm PT so we have something entertaining to watch. This Super Bowl is a dud.

The deadline move you've all been waiting for. Congratulations, @bontahill.bsky.social 🙌

Entering the playoffs, I was rooting for the Lions to come out of the NFC. But I have been rooting for Washington this entire game. They are fun.

Happy #nationalhatday to all who observe 🧢

Oddly, our house in the Berkeley Hills made a noise. Didn't really feel any shaking or a jolt. I thought it was a gust of wind but I didn't see the trees moving, so I assumed it was a quake.

I'm so confused by what the Cubs and Astros are doing this offseason. Cubs acquire Tucker in win-now move but then trade away Bellinger. Astros decide they don't want to pay Tucker and they likely aren't bringing Bregman back, but now it looks like they are going to pay Walker.

Brian Windhorst outlined why the Warriors were "extremely fortunate" to pull off the Dennis Schröder trade.

Steph looks absolutely exhausted. I don't know how he can be the Warriors' No. 1 option next season and the year after that. They need another star so badly.

Klay is enjoying this.

This is big.

Macklin officially is on hatty watch 👀

LeBron has a chance to do the funniest thing ever on Sunday...

Willy Adames received the largest bag in Giants history from the guy who previously had San Francisco's biggest deal 💰

Buster Posey was great at slowing things down as a player. As Alex Pavlovic writes, the Giants' reported Willy Adames agreement proves San Francisco's top decision-maker can act with urgency.

🚨 BREAKING: The Giants reportedly have agreed to a seven-year, $182 million contract with star shortstop Willy Adames.

We all know he's going to sign with the Dodgers on January 15th.

Matt Chapman reportedly is open to temporarily changing positions if the Giants sign free-agent Ha-Seong Kim 🤔

Steph and Dray looked like proud parents watching JK seal tonight's Warriors win 😃

I don't get it, but hey, good for Sevey.

A must-read from @jenniferleechan.bsky.social

College Footbrawl.

Can the Warriors sign De'Anthony Melton to an extension now? He feels that important to this team.

Steph and Wiggs are expected to play tonight against the Suns 💪

The Bills activated an All-Pro linebacker off injured reserve ahead of tomorrow night's game against the 49ers.

Brock Purdy opened up about his moment of reflection standing on the sideline at the end of the 49ers' loss to the Packers last Sunday.

Matt Eberflus was fired again for Michigan's sins. Wolverines bungled that. Wow.

Kyle Shanahan details how the 49ers will deal with the snow and frigid conditions tomorrow night against the Bills.

Took a 10-second exposure of San Francisco on my phone last night.

Your moment of zen. Last night's sunset for Bean Hollow State Beach down Highway 1.

I need an announcer cam on Eric Collins so I can see him losing his mind.

I was convinced in the moment what Eberflus did yesterday was fireable. Today, he's fired.

Accurate.

What on earth was that clock management from the Bears? Unbelievable. Fireable.

Welp
