Man, uuuuugly-ass game, but I'll take the W. Moses looks great. I didn't feel like Kuminga had the best game watching it, but was surprised to see he ended up with 10 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and a block in 20 minutes.

This was PO game…Town and the whole team had a mission today. And this is only bc Green can’t be quiet. He always say stupid things about other players and gets back 150% of intensity of opposing teams.

Great win, hard fought game... too bad the teams ahead of us never lose, jeez

well, nuggets lost at home against the wizards due to a JP monster tree from deep.
other teams like HOU and MEM had pretty soft schedules lately.
anyway, I'd look first behind than ahead, MIN and LAC are not going away, we are still closer to the 7th seed than the 5th.
next game vs the nuggets is huge for several reasons, first and foremost the W record in the last 10 games against them which is almost as embarassing as the freethrowtakers one, but also for the standings.

great gritty W vs a team than in latest years won too many time on our floor.
moody, again, with a good performance on both ends of the floor, if he can keep this up....

Hield 1-7, Butler 3-11, and Draymond 3-9. And they won anyway. Great team defense and an outstanding game from Moody. Yes, the Knicks were shorthanded, but this was a really good win anyway, considering the shooting. Why isn't Buddy more consistent?

I think most shooters are like this. They go 1-6 and then 4-6. Just the life of being a shooter. Steph really being the exception. Klay would go through stretches like this as well and then would go nuclear.

What’s great about the team is that we’re winning in multiple ways. We really haven’t shot well in this winning streak especially if you take out Steph and post.

I watched this game late. Steph played poorly. Jimmy struggled to score inside against size, just like in Orlando. It's clear what kind of team is going to give GS trouble.

Oh and over on the Knicks board it's all about how Thibs sucks.

[floppymoose]

Also, Dray is completely in their heads over there.

He's been having back issues in the last two games and it shows. Hopefully he's a bit better tomorrow night because he'll be needed then.

Low blow on KAT any way you want to slice it though, KAT has likely had more than his share of funerals. Several family members died of COVID iirc. Draymond didn’t even withdraw when it turned out KAT had gone to a funeral.

Dray apologized stop the fake bs sob stories

Dray apologized stop the fake bs sob stories

I read Draymond's "apology." At best, it was weak sauce. The man is a narcissistic sociopath with a rage disorder. Nobody doubts that he is a fine basketball player. But, he's a psycho who's long since lost the right to being given any benefit of the doubt.

Nothing a giant cork permanently implanted in that big mouth wouldn't fix.

“Oh, man. That’s unfortunate. I’m sorry to hear that. That sucks. But my comments that I made, was that ‘people I heard was this. And that’s what I heard.’ So I do send my well wishes to him and his family. You know, none of us. It’s inevitable. We all experience death in one way or another, and we’ll all experience it in the same way one day. So it’s unfortunate. You never wish that on anybody, But the Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis must go on. So I definitely wish them well and wish their family well. And I mean it. You know, we all go through that. And it’s never easy for anyone. But the Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis will go on.”

[Dubs 707]

Okay, let’s talk about the drama. Draymond Green and Karl-Anthony Towns have had their fair share of back and forth drama this is no secret. But some of you are acting like Green’s apology to KAT doesn't mean anything. The man said what he said with the information he had available, but he's taken responsibility for his words AND apologized.

Butler and Green might be teammates, but rivalry and competition are what make sports what they are. The reality is, they’re still professionals—and Draymond stepping up and owning his mistake shows maturity. We’ve all

Let’s stop acting like we’ve never seen an adult make an ignorant statement... See Trump calling a deal he signed during his last term the worst ever.

Props to Draymond for owning up to it. Unlike Trump would ever do. Lol.

Only in America we hold Athletes to a higher standard then the man in the oval office!!

The fact that you're comparing Draymond to Trump quite literally says it all. As for Draymond's "apology" to KAT, imagine if someone told you - after one of your family members just died - "Bro. My condolences. But, this is about me and my show must go on." Draymond's problem is that he believes the universe revolves around him. That's textbook narcissistic personality disorder.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20366662

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them. People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence, they are not sure of their self-worth and are easily upset by the slightest criticism.

[thunderdunk]

This is much ado about very little. Sounds like he apologized and moved on with his business, which is what most rational people would do. Not that Draymond's always rational.
