I still don't understand the tech on Dray. Even if it were called at the moment of the foul. They were both running and Dray pushed him. Why is that a tech rather than a common foul?
WTH, why wasn't Garland given a T for an overtly hostile act when he went after Draymond? When Dray pushed him, it was in the course of play...call it an overly aggressive box out. Garland's act was intentional and not a basketball play.
Listen Klay is only a couple of seasons removed from an achilles and ACL tear and in his Mid 30s. If anything I think hes slightly overachieving so no slander from my part.
No. Hes just matchup dependent. You kinda ride the lows against young athletic teams with size. The highs are potentially matching up to teams like the Bucks or even Celtics where you dont have fast guards or big PFs
This is the kind of thing that good humans sometimes do, and don't know whether it will lead to anything or not. They just put something nice into the world and whatever happens, happens.
But as it happens, I am absolutely delighted to see this post and it makes my day. I've actually been having a pretty bad time lately and I really love hearing that. Thank you very much.

Fred Van Vleet: "Ben Taylor was fucking terrible tonight."
He wasn't wrong.

Nothing much to understand- it is Dray- that’s it
Exactly. It's epically fucked up on multiple levels.

Plus Mitchell should have gotten called for the flop on the slight Draymond bump.
who knows, because it was Dray? ESPN says "The referees decided Mitchell's push was a common foul, but they found that Green made contact with the Cleveland guard after he stripped him of the ball and assessed him a technical foul." https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/38876663/warriors-draymond-green-gets-2-techs-first-ejection-season
at least give a tech to Mitchell - that I don't understand - he wasn't even pretending to do a basketball play.
Officials have been terrible this year. Giannis got ejected for doing a staredown after doing a dunk.
Mitchell. But: totally.
OT: horrible news about Tsunami Papi. They're saying "not season ending," thankfully. But Jesus.
Time to dust off that flashy thing, Eric.
Thank God they play again tomorrow. Gotta find a way to get rid of that stench.
I don't want to be mean-spirited, but I'm wondering if we might need, in addition to "Warrior Wonder," a feature called "Warrior Blunder."
In this game, it was: "Don't jump in the air without a plan and then look to pass it."
Steph 4 of 14 from 3's. The whole team was 13 of 38.
Cleveland played good defense.
Listen Klay is only a couple of seasons removed from an achilles and ACL tear and in his Mid 30s. If anything I think hes slightly overachieving so no slander from my part.
We all know this but he needs to go to a bench role for someone that can more help the team win
No. Hes just matchup dependent. You kinda ride the lows against young athletic teams with size. The highs are potentially matching up to teams like the Bucks or even Celtics where you dont have fast guards or big PFs
The physical limitations I can live with and understand.
It's the mental errors and silly turnovers that are much more frustrating now that he isn't good for 20+ a night on high efficiency.
Hes pressing. He did the same last yr for stretches
Doesn't Klay start the season slow before turning it up in the middle of the season?
That was an UGLY FUGLY SHITTY ASS FUCKING GAME
I can’t believe there’s another Porter Jr in the NBA.
Otto Porter Jr
Michael Porter Jr
Kevin Porter Jr
And now
Craig Porter Jr.
It's a little known US Law that if you're named "Porter" you have to give your kid your first name.
I know, I got so confused when I saw him. I've got a Porter Jr. app on my phone and now I have to update it
Asher, I want you to know that I appreciate your wit and sense of humor. You never fail to make me laugh, and I really needed it tonight. Thanks!

Why didn't TJD dunk it?
Always turn an easy make into a turnover if possible. That's just fundamentals.
oh right, TJD is learning from CP. I got it.
JK looks hurt? He's grimacing and holding his wrist.
CoJo orchestrating two garbage time, wait crunch time, turnovers.
Damn, two failed possessions late. Could have cut it to 2!
Oh OK, THAT'S why Cory Joseph isn't a starter in this league. Gotcha.
