I disagree. I’ve never seen green try to hurt players. Bowen made that his goal.

Every time I watch Green he’s kicking players in the balls and hitting guys in the face.

Amen. He wouldn’t get embarrassed by Brunson with a basic crossover the way Ausar did at the end of their game.

That crossover and win got me a free lunch today :lol:

No such thing as a free lunch.

Jalen Green has never started cold and then started hitting later to have a good game later.

If he’s cold to start the game then basically he’s gonna be cold the rest of the game.

Crowd sounds like they'd rather be anywhere but an NBA game.

He's cold in like 90% of games. If the Warriors are relying on his offence, they're going to lose the game.

No. He plays with reckless abandon and he retaliates when he feels slighted but his goal doesn’t appear to actually hurt anyone.

Bowen’s actual goal was to sprain and break ankles.

Choking isn't really hurting these days. It's a porn category.

Sengun would struggle to back down on my fat 230lb mother in law. Guy looks so damn weak wow.

The crazy thing about this series to me is that while Steph has an absolutely elite handle, you still see him get his pocket picked.
