Draymond is throwing everyone around and has only one foul. It's like he's the only one playing in a different game.

Rockets taking advantage. Refs are seemingly trying to keep GS in this.
Seemingly?
They should just put on Warriors uniforms.

I would take ref bashing more seriously if we got "refs are really helping my team win" posts.

It's absolutely hilarious that people are trying to blame Dray for this
Wasn't even reviewed, great job refs.

That's what "privilege" looks like.

While having zero defensive impact. The Rockets have 34 points after the 1st. Draymond winning DPOY this year would be a tragedy

Warriors are still the favorites to win this series even if they lose this game. Losing Jimmy? Now it’s a tossup. (But no, injury looked scary but he should be healthy and playing in Game 3)

Feel like this should be a bet for every warriors game on any betting app.

Proof Dray did NOT push Thompson.
Thompson undercut Butler on his own.

It’s crucial to the refs plot to keep the Rockets in the series, like reverse psychology, in a way that I can’t explain or even understand but somehow know is totally true.
War does not determine who is right, only who is left.

Both teams saying that the refs are clearly biased against them is amazing

I'm not surprised they've pulled Butler. If he didn't have a bone bruise, he's gonna have a hell of a bad back for a few days.

It looks like it's Steven Adams who bumps Amen off balance sending him to the ground

Took that Rockets -11.5 halftime line, after Butler injury and after Spencer and Kuminga were inserted.
