It's all fine unless players are getting injured, and we see that with teams like Rockets and Magic: Tatum, Porzingis and now Butler.

People aren't complaining about players being injured tho, read the replies. They're complaining about the level of physicality and want more fouls called, not worried that players will be injured. Also, Draymond got Jimmy injured, not Amen's physical play.

Without Jimmy they're back to being a team with play-in aspirations

Warriors look dead after 2 days rest. Old ass team has no energy?

Kerr better leave Kuminga in to start the second or that’s a dirty move

Only 18 points. Yeah if Jimmy don’t come back it’s a guarantee loss.

Obviously. The Warriors are better off resting and prepping for Game 3 and 4 anyway, this could bode well for GS long-term as this series couldn reach 6 or 7.

I think it's fans complaining like they always do. I don't see anything different than usual.

i know Draymond’s plan; play dirty, get kicked out via an ejection and use that as fuel next game,
