Wow, I can't believe it, those betting sites and Las Vegas and bla bla bla say again that we are favorites to win it all. It has to be true then...

Hmm I wonder why we’re not hearing much about this? You can see Poole clearly leave the bench here below at the :10 second mark. He’s the first Warriors player in front.

If Poole isn't suspended, then the league needs to explain to the fans why there are certain rules for some teams and other teams don't have to follow those rules, which teams those are, and why those teams are chosen.

Because it wasn't an altercation - it was a player checking on an injured teammate just like when Duncan went out, the same series ot check on Elson

And to this day, I get why Amare was suspended. I have ZERO idea why Diaw was suspended. He barely left the team area and was barely on the court. Amare was aggressive - got to half court. Diaw did go on the court - oh don't get me started.

Bets came in last night on us while odds were better and GS lost to Memphis...BOS/MIL tied. 538 had us with highest odds even before that when people were talking about others having better odds. At least on their RAPTOR projections. The ELO ones may have had Boston slightly higher. Probably not now though.

Where was the "altercation" after Horry cross checked Nash? It was just a hard non basketball foul. Amare wasn't going to do anything anyways, he didn't go after Horry. He just jumped up and down towards where Nash was. The check was right by the coaches' line by the bench. Don't mean to get you started, but to me, its the same thing, leaving the bench after a hard foul.

I hear you!

I thought it was BS. And if Duncan wasn't suspended, neither should Diaw. At least Amare made it to half court

Now do I think Poole should be suspended - common sense says No. But rules are rules.

There was no confrontation. If there was an indication of a fight, that'd be a different story. But players walked to see what happened but nobody got in anyone's faces.

Man, Justin Termine, on NBA radio, is praising the Suns to no end right now. Saying this team is better than the '07 pistons (in that LeBron's Cavs wouldn't have gotten past them to the finals), '13 spurs, '11 Mavs. Nice to hear but for some reason I'm not comfortable hearing this out loud :-|

I guess Bell and Horry had some words, but Amare was nowhere near Horry, just the guys on the court at the time. Oh well, I don't care if he is suspended at all, just want consistency.

Could Jordan Poole be having an anomaly year? Check this out....Per 36 across the board, 3pt%, ORTG, DRTG on the per 100 part on the right, etc.

You have to use Per 36 because Poole played more minutes and he did shoot a way higher volume of 3s, but 44% to 36.4% is quite a difference. Then you look at AST/TO...big difference.

TS% close. BPM not close.

NBA wants Warriors vs Bucks finals or Celtics at least.

Warriors is their golden child at the moment since Lakers Amber Heard'd the bed.

The one saving grace of having Memphis play GS instead of Minny, is the players. Players can really throw a monkey wrench into the league's desires. It was the one thing I loved about Lebron and Bosh going to Miami years ago, they forced the league to alter what has seemed to be their plans for decades. Then it seemed that Lebron figured that out, and went to one of the darling teams of the league. But even the league couldn't fix Mr. Glass, and the trading that handcuffed the Lakers.
