Unless it is an injury to his head, they shouldn't add any more punishment. It is the refs own damn fault for allowing such physical contact to go unchecked.

Brooks is going to get a couple games - Payton did break an elbow, they will be setting an example and its the Warriors so Kerr and Dray can whine about the "dirty play" and some other nonsense

They shouldn't give him any extra games. If what Draymond did isn't a suspension, then what Brooks did isn't either.

Laughable the opinions of Dubs fans on the GB about this subject. The same ones calling ppl soft in the Draymond thread are wanting Brooks banned from the playoffs.

Amazing.

Brooks hit him in the head, he wasn't trying to break Payton's elbow. He landed on it. It is completely unfortunate and worthy of the ejection, but if they suspend him because of the injury to his body that wasn't hit by the foul, then every hit that causes an injury or could easily cause an injury should be a suspension. Green's foul could have easily injured the player he purposely hit and then threw to the floor after the hit.

Hayes foul and also Jones' fouls could have easily injured our players, and neither resulted in a suspension. Heck both happened right in front of the refs, and only one was called only after Jae went after Hayes.

Warriors and Grizzlies are beating the hell out of each other. Whoever comes out on top will be sore going into the next series.

And they will be ready for a tough series. Morant was a beast. I am not sure we can guard him effectively. As good as Bridges is, that's a VERY tough one.

[Revived]

Morant has become a very skilled flopper in his short time in the league. He had a ridiculous flop in key moment yesterday where he drew a foul on Draymond Green when Green simply went to grab a rebound. And Morant also flails anytime he drives to the rim and he gets the call like 50% of the time regardless of whether there was actual impactful contact or not.

He had 13 FT attempts by himself yesterday and Warriors as a team had 18 FT attempts.

He’s such an athletic marvel that the refs basically assume if he misses a shot in the paint then he must have been fouled regardless of whether he actually was or not.

Too be fair, GS pretty much fouls anyone on almost every drive. They get fairly sneaky with pushes down low, that the refs may not see. But I can see what you are saying about Ja. His hair helps sell fouls as well, but from what I have seen, he does get the contact and its not as forced as some other stars like Giannis.

Grizz are a tough match up for us ….. speed and springs

We are a throw back old schooler squad.

I would be happy if they just called him for carrying the ball like he did against us this season. He wasn't called for palming the ball and he didn't get called for lifting his pivot foot on the last second shot in their win against us in the regular season.

He had a pretty egregious carry yesterday too

They are a tough match up, but I think Green forces Ayton into being scared of going to the hoop. Payne is a nothing burger against GS, and GS has a deep squad of guys that can drain the three, who for some reason can foul without getting the refs to call it.

I think we have a better shot at Memphis if we get there. But I don't see the league wanting Memphis in the finals, but I think they would easily enjoy GS getting back there.

Yeah, that one is pretty bad, many guys carry the ball as well. That play reminded me of the LeBron travel, where the Utah player points it out to the ref like,"How did you not see that?".

That play is ridiclous. It just needs to be called. That is such an unfair advantage to take how many steps without dribbling the ball.

I agree, just as unfair as all the moving screens Green does to open shooters on his team. Too be fair to Green, many on his team do it.

I thought JVal in teh Pelicans series gave a little hip check about half the time on screens to allow a bit of separation

Green does it as well - veteran move or just given the benefit of the doubt as he is who he is.

He totally did, and he also pushed off as well, after the moving screens. Not as badly as Duncan used to do, or AD, but same moving screen, then push off. Luckily though, Val got called for a few, but those were pretty bad. McGee gets caught moving often, but he does get called for them more than others do.

We make it to the conference finals, no doubt 2 best teams will be left. Both squads pose serious challenges. Dallas first though, and don’t make it lengthy

[Mulhollanddrive]

Just realised Duncan Robinson is DNP even with Lowry out.

[starbosa10]

This would have been an awesome series with Embiid

[bwgood77]

Too many good players out. Embiid, Middleton, Smart, Lowry, Robinson.

Not really any big ones in the west of teams that are left. Dallas could use THJr but not a real big name.

[sunsbg]

As for the favourite thing I personally don't care much for the betting odds, but so far in the playoffs Warriors look better and they won the regular season matchup, so hard to think we are the favourites in any way. Then with Middleton back we have a history in the finals vs Bucks saying otherwise. As I said earlier I need to see them crush the Mavs to get my confidence back.

My confidence started getting back.
