I would've preferred to crush the Warriors at full strength, but if Draymond is going to injure his teammates, what can you do.

Meh, stopped really paying attention to UCLA since, I wanna see 16 when they had Aaron, Thomas Welsh, Jaylen Hands and Prince Ali.
Then roped back in when they had Jaquez, Shareef, and Singleton, Bernard and Juzang

Ant fined 50k for upsetting the family friendly vibe the NBA wants to give off.
Meanwhile the Rockets crowd is chanting "f*** you Draymond" on national tv. Why is no one thinking of the children in that crowd?! lol

No need to watch this game. Warriors did fine the first half with who’s available and they couldn’t cut down the lead.
Incoming 25 pt blowout. See you in Game 3.

I wasn't argue he should give up yet. I'm just curious if he's doing the calculation on what the minute/time split is when he should rest Steph/Dray/

I think it was a combination of Green, Adams and just Thompson’s momentum, tbh. I get the no call, but I’d have gotten a foul either way, too. Is Thompson hurt? I am stuck with the Warriors broadcast and they have only talked about Butler, so I have no idea. His head/neck were jerked back hard, could have been a concussion protocol thing.
Butler looked hurt, but tbh ‘pelvic contusion’ sounds better than what I first thought, which was potentially fractured tailbone.

Is this a serious argument?

Some of you have derangement syndrome and need professional help.

I don't know. I believe he has three fouls. Also, sorry for your suffering.
