The Golden State Warriors will face the Houston Rockets tonight at 5:30 p.m. PST on ABC in a game that could have served as a preview of how DeMarcus Cousins will fit into the matchup between last year’s Western Conference Finalists.
Alas, James Harden will be out tonight with both a neck injury and flu-like symptoms, as announced earlier this afternoon. There are plenty of relatively easy jokes you could make about this — and Twitter is already doing its thang — but I’m just not in the mood for picking at low-hanging fruit.
