While we’re talking about Draymond Green… This clip of him laying injured on the ground while the teams continue to play multiple possessions is crazy. Why didn’t Steve Kerr take a timeout? Why didn’t any of the Warriors commit a foul? It’s pretty disrespectful what they did here.

He was obviously not injured. He was just right there lying down trying to get some attention. He was acting, overacting. It wasn't even a foul. It was his hand that hit his face. His left hand was slapping his own face. Lol. Well, that's Draymond Green.

But yes it looks weird. But not because nobody seemed to care but because of how long he lied down there even if the ball has already transferred possessions and scores were already made. Can he not get up? It wasn't even his legs that got hit. Yes, Steve Kerr should have taken a time-out and give him a dress down.

Maybe Kerr had enough of Draymond Green's corny and nonsense drama. I think Steve Kerr and the Warriors are showing that they are not interested in Draymond's flop. It also serves as a warning to Draymond that the team is not wasting time out, especially during the last few minutes. Imagine if it happened in the last few minutes of a close game. Draymond will once again cost GSW a fortune.

I think GSW should make some changes if they fail to enter the playoffs. The Lakers are making every move to get another player while Lebron is still in his A-game and GSW should do the same because Curry's effort will be wasted.


Green cause a lot of trouble to them and they really need to think good adjustment for it so that it cannot disturb them since his stints create toxicity on their teak that can affect his teammate. He's really good on defense but what he perform is out of the box and their team will always suffer with those wrong decisions he made inside the court. If they struggle to contain them and think about play pure basketball without getting much into troubles then much better if they think about find a replacement since I think this is best for them. They need to move some of their player so that they can possibly get more better result. GSW really need a great change since their current line up is not working anymore so they should explore and find another good player that listen to them so can be more effective or more competitive to other teams.

Then the next game Klay would struggle? I hope he is fine and that gets his confidence back. That was a good win, twice in a row in Utah, that game was close but they still win in the end. Both teams are dying and living beyond the arc, good thing the Warriors shots with better percentage, so they won.

He might, that's why people call him incosistent now. However, we are not wishing it will happen, we want to see him back on his game like taking big shots as the playoffs is nearing and they need to come back to a good standing to qualify, and at least not to have a first round exit.

Wariors now is at .509... That's a start as their ranking now has already improve to number 10. They could qualify in the play-in with this ranking but it's not safe, as the last time I remember they are in the play-in, they loss to the Memphis. I hope it will continue to rise since they have a lot of role players now that could contribute, and overall, their 3 point shooting as improve as well.

I don't find it disrespectful. If some player gets injured during a game, it's normal for a team to continue an unfinished offense or defense. However, if you watch this episode with Green in slow motion, you can notice that it was a flop and bad acting by Green, not an injury. Most likely, the other Warriors players knew this, and that's why they continued the offense in this episode.
Even Steph Curry looks at him and perhaps he knows a thing or two about his team mates. Not saying that it was a flop or something, they didn't call a time out and just let the play go. They even scored with a dunk.
It's either Draymond is not important or they know Draymond is just flopping. LOL. We really don't know, but knowing Draymond, he has a lot of antics in him and he could do anything to get attention to help his team win but that time he failed. But Draymond was fine though, he played the next game and score    23 at Utah. So it must be a flop.

Anyhow, they take a win in the road against the Jazz, Draymond had a good game shooting from the outside with 23 points. And then Klay, getting his range to lead the Warriors with 35 points and reached 15,000 career points. After they were stop from their winning streak the last time, it seems that they are back again and now just above the .500 but still way below the West before the All star break.

I’m not even sure if LeBron could save them by jumping ship in the offseason. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Draymond has signed his last NBA contract.

Yeah at this point he is going overboard.  I think as his athletic ability has declined he is masking it with this new over the top persona to scare people into submission.  I know he was aggressive before but not like this.  At some point he is just basically a danger out on the court.  It is sad bit I think this is the end of "their run".  GS doesn't look like they are gonna get better anytime soon.

I even don't think that Draymond has the athletic ability in the first place, he is more of the basketball IQ, however, he went overboard most of the team and this season it was even magnified that he got suspended by the league. So perhaps he is not masking it, he could really be out of control and he really needs to check himself and seek medical attention.
I agree that he is getting out of control year by year, day by day. I also think that he was not even too athletic and of course he is getting worse with time. Anyone who watches draymond's podcast knows that he is a very arrogant and know-it-all player. He can't take criticism. He was a good player and an important member of the warriors dynasty, draymond green is now known more for his excesses than his accomplishments on the court. And with him, the entire golden state team is going down.

Wow, the Bucks.
The coaching change really did them dirty, well deserved.
Now they even lose against a Memphis team that "competes" with a 9 man (mostly bench players or even GLeague type players) rotation and has an injury list with 10 players, basically all their stars.

How can you even go from here if you are Milwaukee??
Can it actually happen and they fire Doc Rivers after just a few games? That would be hilarious!!
This is getting out of hand. How on earth did the Bucks lose that game? It is difficult to fault Lillard because they were winning before the appearance of Rivers. Rivers is tasked with the job of making plays good for its players which implies he needs to adapt to what is available and what is lacking.

Despite having lower attempts in the threes, the Grizzlies were still able to produce more in those areas. In total, the Grizzlies have lower field goal attempts, but they converted over half into points.


And why we even think of Lillard geting at fault? This is ridiculous, I mean, Lillard wasn't the only one that struggled in that game. Here are the stats of the other players that has a poor shooting night.

Lopez    5-14
Beasley 3-10...

And it should be the coach because he is the one that calls for the play, he could decide to sit players if they aren't playing as expected.

And three days from now, River is coaching the Eastern selection in the All-Stars match.

Thanks for letting us know, I'm fading him.

I didn't expect that but they seemd playing very inconsistent. I thought they had figure it out alread when they blowout the Nuggets on their homecourt, and there goes again losing against a weak team. Giannis probably didn't like it, I don't know what would happen to the Bucks, their season is on the line now.

Meanwhile, Jazz almost completed their comeback, but just one costly mistake made by Collins throwing the ball to the crowd made them loss their chance. However, it's still a good game though, they were competitive and they know how to come back, just fall short on this one.

For tonight's game, there could be easy bet for gamblers, Bucks over Memphis and Wolves over Portland. Jazz is struggling and the Warriors although they've lost on their last game, might come back here against the Jazz and start another run with Curry carrying this team. Hopefully, Klay and the others help Steph here as this is a very winnable game for them.

Charlotte Hornets won three in a row in their home games and this is since the trade deadline. Grant Williams and Seth Curry the new additions of the team are playing really well. Hopefully they can continue this momentum until the All-Star break. It is a one week vacation for them before they play the next game.
I think they can secure their fourth straight win since they're only playing the Utah Jazz next game. Utah Jazz have been struggling in their recent games. I don't know why but they're just inconsistent with their performance.

I really don't know what's happening to Utah Jazz right now though, they have a good start early, but now it seems that they are struggling.

@OgNasty - yeah, pretty much the Warriors dynasty is over, there are a lot of rumors swirling around about trades in Golden State. Perhaps Thompson and Green were lucky that the management didn't pull the trigger. I thought that both of this player were going to be traded for obvious reasons.

Maybe next year we will the Warriors taking a reset, and only Steph Curry left in the group.

Yeah, Bronny's stats don't look impressive at all, and I would even say it looks weak. If he performs this way in the NCAA, he can forget about his career in the NBA because his stats would be even worse in the league. However, I don't rule out that LeBron can bring him to the NBA anyway, but it looks like there's not much sense in it because of Bronny's lack of prospects in the NBA.

He has been like that since the beginning because the kid was raised with all he needs in life and he doesn't have enough motivation to further improve his talent in basketball also he has some kind of disease that hinders him from trying even harder because it will gonna ruin his body and he might be in real danger once again. Honestly, they can just sign him for a year just to give LBJ the dream he wants and that is playing with his son in the same team and that would be the greatest achievement that no one can break for decades.

As I see it, Lebron James is committed, and he would not join the Warriors except if the Lakers officials are the ones driving the trade. However, how could the Lakers need to trade Lebron when he is viewed by a larger number of individuals as the GOAT of basketball?

The details of Bronny say everything, he does not merit a draft selection in the NBA. In any case, he will be picked by the teams that also want to take Lebron. Bronny will be the Thannassis Antettounmpo of Lebron James. Anyhow, I think it is more important for the Lakers now to find the next great leader to avoid confusion.
