Brooks gonna Brooks. I'd be fine with the hard foul after Draymond laid a good screen on his teammate. But going for the ball and standing over him after is just dumb. Awakening a beast in Steph.

Draymond baited into doing something stupid. That should see him T'd up again and thrown out.

I don’t even think he was baited. Eason put his hand out to help him up.

Flagrant should count the same as a T

There’s going to be another incident with Draymond. He’s a time bomb out there.

Udoka waiting a bit longer and becoming our coach would've been interesting. Would've given Giannis more of an edge and we wouldn't have been a nice team to play. Not sure the fans would like having an **** coach though.

Yeah, but the fight and brawl meter is at an all-time high. Very entertaining.

You had what should have been an all-time NBA moment a couple nights ago and instead everyone waited around for five minutes so a dork official could tell us all what we just saw.

If it's purely about figuring out who to punish, those reviews should be a lot quicker. Kinda wonder if they sometimes drag it out on purpose to give teams more time to cool off in the hopes they'll stop the fighting. Obviously hasn't worked tonight lol

Could have easily had a 4th review on Butler's foul on Brooks at the end of the half too.

Sengun is the fakest “All-Star” since FVV so it’s fitting that they’re now on the same team together.

He's 22 and a 20/10/5 guy for the last two seasons while the Rockets had the 2nd best record in the West. Fake?

He’s a floppy, low efficiency, offense first dude that can’t shoot on a team that wins because of elite defense. Classic “winning bias” player despite his actual contributions to said winning. He’s also a guy who people will get fooled into thinking has this super high ceiling because of his age. Whereas he’s just a skilled young dude who’s already peaked because of physical limitations. Poor man’s Sabonis. Rich man’s Greg Monroe.

I'm iffy on his actual impact, but FWIW, they were substantially better with him on the floor vs. being off it and it's also possible his offense would blossom more with shooting around him. They've leaned all the way into the defense instead and ask him to create a ton in the half court and he's been pretty effective in that role.

Additionally, he is to me one of the most aesthetically pleasing players to watch in the league but that doesn't necessarily mean he's super valuable lol.

Never mind playoff Jimmy. The Warriors have Playoff Podziemski.

Limiting a guy whose comparables at 22 are Sabonis and Jokic is crazy to me. Like a guy who's already awesome at 22 can't improve.

Segun passes the eye test to me. Really good, winning basketball player.
