All that physicality affecting the Warriors. Let’s see how they respond early 3Q.

I never thought I'd ever see officiating worse than Pac-12 Football or MLS.

Refs are lucky it’s half time. They’ve completely lost control of this game. Horrendous.

I can't imagine they wanted Podz to hold the ball there and brick a contested 3.

Seriously not giving Butler a flagrant there because he's so fake tough. This league is seriously so cooked.

Jimmy made sure he didn't make the shot, sent him to the line and he didn't get the 2. Good play by Jimmy

Butler is a flopper himself. Dude thinks he's hot **** but has never won a title. :lol:

All I see is a career loser who talks it up but can't actually finish the job.
