They’ll probably give us a new butthole in game 2, but let’s hope the confidence of a game 1 win carries over.

I’m still Bucks in 6 but winning 1 of these next 2 might turn me into a believer. Especially if that win is game 2 going back to Miami

Outside of Jimmy still being a monster, the best thing about this game was Bam’s second half. I’m not going to apologize for holding him to a higher standard than he’s shown the past few games. I’m very happy to see him step up when we needed someone. That middy is there for him, he needs to step into it confidently. Lopez is a foot off him - keep taking it. It’s his shot.

That's what drove me nuts 1st half. Lopehead hasn't adjusted the way he covers Bam....his sagging off him & continuing focusing on rim protection. Yet w/ all that time & space Bam chose to frantically look for the pass or hand off. 2nd half he attacked that space by either driving or pulling up. It's not f*ckin rocket science......If you do nothing nothing will happen & you won't learn & improve. If you do something...anything, you may miss but you learn from it & adjust the nxt offensive possession. No nuts no glory.

Without Herro around Bam has no excuse to not step up. No one else has any business taking up those shot attempts.

We need the Bam that we saw in the beginning of the season for these playoffs, we lost a 20pt scorer and clutch shooter off the dribble in tight sets in Herro. Bam cannot be passive, needs to take those wide open midrange shots they keep giving him, and if he makes them and they play him tight, he can take advantage of his speed. Jimmy will break down for a couple games usually has 1-2 stinkers in a long series and by stinkers I mean a 10-15 point game.

Losing Herro’s shot making and clutch ability is a big blow tbh. We have guard depth, so that’s something, but we don’t have a ton of on ball creativity and Herro has been the best of our distance shooters this season.

Need someone of Gabe/Strus/Love/Martin/Dipo/Duncan to step up and hit some shots.

Herro looked like he was playing w/ a diff mindset, another gear. Was calm, sharp, in control & aggressive. Was efficient in the 19mins he played. He cld have been on his way for his most pts for the season/playoffs. Such a shame to lose him. I swear we can't catch a f*ckin break w/ injuries. I'm hoping it's not as bad as it is & recovers quickly.

Be great but I don't think we win this series. What i'm anticipating is us fighting & competing. Making them earn their win. Our defense at the moment has really stepped up. That bodes well in playoff environment.

Draymond is the front office. Domas is us Heat fans hopes and dreams for help in the offseason.

Draymond gets a lot of praise for his basketball IQ, but he's developmentally challenged. He has to know that he can't do that. This is veteran leadership? He has to know that he's too important to the team's success. That series is now over. The Warriors are done. The Warriors dynasty is over. And his time with the Warriors is very likely over. He wants to get paid and for the the Warriors ownership to absorb the massive taxes that would come with paying him ... and he pull this bull?

[DayofMourning]

Just suspend him. Hes so aggro. A lil sick in the ole cerebellum.

wait what? when this happened??? that's just nasty and unsport like minded too

that's not being aggro that's being an azzhole

[AirP.]

Here's some context to Draymond's stomp which Sabonis received a Flagrant 1 for. Sabonis actually grabbed Draymond's leg right before that (hence the flagrant 1) and Draymond retaliated with the stomp. Draymond did get a Flagrant 2 and was tossed for it.

Hes always so extra. I listened to his explanation about it in the postgame and it shows that hes a few cards short of a full deck. He just needs somebody to knock him out cold. That happens a couple times and he will realize his protective bubble hes created for himself isnt real. You dont do **** like that.

Besides being a clown he definitelly has mental problems and anger management issues, this guy is always looking for trouble, wish he would be playing back in the 90's so he could get his a ss knocked out in the court.

[NetsWorld]

It’s the fact that Draymond stomped on his chest and kicked off of it like a trampoline.
