Check this out: Draymond docked for cursing at a Dallas fan, fan says no biggee, and offers to match $25,000 donation to charity: " https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35169528/warriors-draymond-green-says-appreciates-fan-pledge-match-fine "

Still no reason not to fire Kerr and Myers. Why did it take Kerr 20 games to figure it out? Why didn't Myers pay OPJ and GPII whatever they wanted and go out and get Giannis, Embiid, and Jokic? Sure, the new coach would have had to figure out who was the backup center but that's a good problem to have. Also Guber and Lacoub should sell the team to ownership that won't be so stingy and will sign up for a $1B/year payroll. Seriously, a few wins shouldn't stop deranged, no nothing fan ranting. Anyway, good win but as always the Warriors need to do something about the stupid turnovers.

Per Joe Viray, the Warriors have outscored opponents by 11 points per 100 possessions in Draymond's 61 minutes played without Curry.

Shout out to all the Warrior haters who say he's a bum who is only playable in the NBA because Curry carries him.

Thanks for the laughs, Eric! This post prematurely ended my mourning for the USMNT's defeat by Netherlands.

The celebration audit audits a row of fans, but misses the last dude in the row who, as Draymond is getting the ball -- IS ON HIS PHONE. Never looks up. That there is serious dedication to a fantasy basketball league.

We have unexpectedly received via github some crucial previously unreleased notes from the 2022 summer meeting of owners and league personnel...

"...Discussion of collective bargaining agreement, rules changes. Bob Myers and Joe Lacob announce they will "head outside to smoke a doobie." An unidentified GM says, "Why do the Warriors always have to win it all?" "Right????" "You know what I think it is? Do you ever watch those Eric Apric --" "YES I'm SICK of it! They run these split cuts and --" "I know!! We can't stop those either!" "Then all that damned celebrating?!" "Those celebration audits?" "Those INFURIATE me!" "Hey, idea! Let's crack down on sideline celebrati --" "SHhhhh, here come Bob and Joe, everyone be cool..." "OK but like can we tell the refs to --" ... END TRANSCRIPT

There is a post in the game thread that didn't get nearly enough love (near the top ... easy to find).

In it, AttilaTheHun coined the phrase 'discontinued partying'.

I think this phrase should be considered for a future celebration audit.

And, if there is a way to link to a specific post, I'd love to know it.

Best possible outcome for a random ending. But if the refs hadn't spotted the Bulls all of those 1st qtr FTs, it wouldn't have even happened.
