Houston, we have a problem

Well, let's see.

The Golden State Warriors were already without the services of big man Boogie Cousins (out for the year with a torn Achilles), a starter and an All-Star caliber player.

Then Kevin Durant, arguably the best player on the planet right now, went out for at least a few days with a strained calf.

The Houston Rockets were playing at home.

And normally sharp-shooting Steph Curry scored exactly zero points in the first half of the game.

And the Warriors STILL won the game 118 -- 113?

How can it be?

Are the Dubs just that good -- or did the Rockets choke (again)?

I dunno. But it's gonna be another long off-season in Houston.

Houston, we have a problem indeed.

It just doesn't appear to be in the cards.......
