Is Kerr actually conceding with 5m left in the 3rd?

Warriors waving officially the white flag in mid 3rd quarter in a 29 point game. It feels like they waves the flag from tip-off, because they treated this game as a scrimmage. If NBA allowed it I am sure they would have rested curry Butler and Green

Yeah...Also that was against the supernova brothers Kyrie and Lebron.

Steph himself said he's never seen two guys ever play at that level.

Will we see supernova Vleet/Green?

Rockets always the better team - 2 seed vs 7 seed

Kerr spitting in the face of the basketball gods giving up in a playoff game before the 3rd quarter is even finished. I really hope this comes back to bite GS

He also has the best worst handles I've ever seen.

Will pull every move in the book and can't get past Buddy Hield. Bruh straight up dribbles in circles.

Thompson with the ball in his hands going downhill was killing the Warriors in the previous game. Glad to see him get more time with it in this one.

No, they just don't want to pay him.

Kerr has been given the orders from upstairs.

Is Silver going to throw Houston a bone like he did Cleveland???


Im guessing absolving Draymond of blame is just a san francisco thing in general and not just a GSW thing.

I honestly think Draymond Green could run over someone and still not be punished for it. Same dude who cracked his teammates jaw. Kicked people in the nuts. Stomped on peoples chest.

Yes Adam Silver is at fault lol.

Oh and silly me forgetting...CHOKING players!

Tell me that isn't the face you'd see from an episode of scared straight. dude is straight up insane.


I can't stand Draymond but that game 5 suspension was to a joke.

He was ruled out before the game. I am not sure if he even is on the bench

It's called accumulation. If that idiot was smart enough to understand the meaning of it he'd understand why he got suspended. That post season Green was doing all kinds of foul crap.

Duh, it was still a joke...all he did was flick the teabag off his head.

Worst part is became BFF's with him afterwards. :noway:
