I am sorry but screaming into the face of the refs that’s fuc**ng bull**** over and over has to count. Plus he said in his pod that if you play defense and hit him on the arm he has a right to hit you in the face. He said this about the Houston game which should have been a flagrant and ejection but they gave him a dead ball tech for the same elbow to the mouth of Fred Van Vleet. Draymond has no business in this league.


Its weird, but Draymond might be the most "protected" player in the game. Officials go out of their way to be lenient with him. The elbow yesterday should have been, at minimum, a flagrant 1. And there is no way his screaming in the refs face should've received a pass.

I was thinking the same. Dray gets very preferential treatment.

Maybe someone needs to elbow him in the face?
Maybe it's narcissism. He was on the bench complaining about the "BS call" to his teammates. They didn't know what to say-they just nodded and agreed...like "okay Draymond."


Locked on Warriors thinks it wasn’t even illegal, like the natural response to someone swiping at the ball is to elbow them in the face. He is surrounded by enablers. Hell he decked his own teammate and didn’t lose the locker room.

I base secret or not secret on whether Chuck and Shaq know who you are. If they do you're not a secret. :lol:

Bananas. The league might have to start fining for this before it becomes too much of an issue.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

So Draymond finished 3rd in defensive player of the year voting. I have heard him brag about how much better he is than (insert name here,) everyone at defense. Thinking about game 4, and looking back on the rest, I think Jaden’s defense was probably better. Add in the rest and Jaden wins by a mile, but just defensively, Jaden has taken over at least 2 games now, (games 2 and 4.) Yes he had help from Rudy for some of it, but so does Green from his guys. Thoughts?

Hopefully this report is moot. The word is Moot. Not Mute. Pet peeve of mine.

Stephen Curry has been cleared for shooting drills and light on-court workouts despite a strained left hamstring, giving him a chance to play for the Warriors if they force a Game 6 against the Timberwolves.
3h

of little or no practical value, meaning, or relevance; purely academic: In practical terms, the issue of her application is moot because the deadline has passed. Chiefly Law. not actual; theoretical; hypothetical.

If a Gentleman sweep is winning in 5 with a loss on the opponents home court, does that make winning in 5 with a home loss a ungentlemanly sweep?

We won the series 4-1. Winning 4 in a row. It's a good start.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much coverage for losing teams. The last two series have been about what LA and GS didn’t do and where do they go from here.

On another note, idc how they do it at this point, just WIN.

I have to say, that's pretty bold. What happened to the good old days when people took their illicit drug use to a bathroom stall?

Yes, I do notice Target Center beers are not sweet enough. It needs extra kick. :lol:
