The two-time reigning NBA champion Golden State Warriors faced off against the Houston Rockets tonight without two-time NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant.
While the loss of Durant is big, the team still boasts a whopping amount of high-end talent that will likely waltz to another title before the entire league is upended this offseason due to various roster changes.
During the game, though, an interesting moment occurred between Draymond Green and DeMarcus Cousins of the Warriors, as the two exchanged words after Boogie was called for a foul on reigning MVP James Harden:

The combination of Green and Cousins, while terrifying on the court, could also be a recipe for disaster in a rather fractious Golden State locker room – especially with a plethora of rumors swirling around Durant and his future with the team.
Green is never one to shy away from speaking his mind, and this clip makes it seem as if Boogie was not particularly interested in hearing what Green had to say.
At the end, Boogie clearly says “that’s a charge,” referring to the play that led to this kerfuffle. After Steve Kerr was seen saying some rather unsavory things about Green during a loss to the lowly Phoenix Suns (then backtracked beautifully), as well as the general malaise that has surrounded this team for much of the season, the Warriors don’t seem quite as invincible as they have in seasons past.
This most recent blowup between teammates is indicative of the unease in which the team has been mired for much of the season. Even with that feeling omnipresent, Golden State will likely romp their way through the playoffs on the way to another championship.
