Hopefully GS gets worn down...AND loses tonight.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Agree. GSW was down 16 at halftime, and made a big comeback in the third - that’s got to tire you out, mentally and physically.

Down 7 again, early in the fourth. I’m rooting for a double overtime loss.

Unfortunately, no double OT. Draymond was already thinking ahead and decided to quit after playing only 18 mins. However, Twolves fan must be operating the shot clocks. It stopped working with 1:28 left in the 4th qtr. It's going to take them an hour to get the replacement shot clock working to play the last 1:28 :D

Feels like Klay Thompson or Andrew Wiggins are due for one explosion game, because they have been terrible, this season.

Will be a tough one. GSW will fight for win after losing tonight. Watch the game and i hate a bit more Draymond. Good player overall but such a bad mentality....

We need to beat them by using our size and physicality. All 48 minutes just beat their old and undersized lineups.

This is going to generate some controversy even though it's very satisfying to see Green get ejected.

For those of you who don't know the context...

Green was pretty much playing dirty the entire game and baiting Mitchell on quite a few plays. But as you can see in this video, Green shoved Mitchell out of bounds and Donovan lost his cool.

But during the review of whether or not what Mitchell did was a flagrant, they noticed on the previous play the shove that Draymond did on Mitchell, so they actually ended up letting Donovan off with a common foul, and instead gave a tech to Draymond. Problem here is that was Draymond's second tech, resulting in his ejection from the game.

I'll be the first to admit, I loved watching Draymond get ejected, but I'm not sure how I feel about this. Has anything like this ever happened before? I can't recall seeing something like this happening recently.

The very beginning of the video shows the aftermath of Draymond pushing Donovan Mitchell nearly into the crowd.

The poster has a good point. If Draymond commits flagrant fouls that get missed by the ref, should a player (not Towns), deliberately foul him to get the refs to review what instigated the issue? Is this a rule?

If the refs miss it the first time, they better get it right the second time! Mitchell should have gotten a foul as well though.
Draymond should have been a defensive end...

Mitchell did get a foul, but Dray got ejected. Good trade for Cleveland.

Ant and Naz are a full go. Doesn't look like the Warriors are resting anyone so it should be a very fun game with the Warriors on a back to back.

He's going to go off for forty because I'm saying this, but man... Klay Thompson's athleticism is absolutely gone.

Anyone watch Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia? And if so does Dario Saric look like he should be a McPoyle?
