Their starters were running at about -40 +/- for the game. It will be pretty amusing if they lose this series. Such an amazing regular season run for both GSW and the Spurs only to get bounced out of the playoffs.
I would laugh at that. It was Kerr years ago as a color commentator that kept saying that Amare left the bench in that Spurs game. He kept saying that it was an automatic suspension. I still think that no one would have paid much attention to it at all except that Kerr kept talking about it.

I don't understand how anyone thinks Draymond gets suspended. He got all ball.

Kerr going on about it and the assistant coaches acting like Amare and Boris were really going to start a fight both just fueled the situation. Both took some steps but were slowing down. We all know Amare wasn't going to go up in there and start a fight. Hell he hardly even reacted to getting a forearm to the face from Francis. Like he wasn't even sure what to do.

Westbrook + KD > Curry plus any other player on the Ws.

I just expected the coaching to be better on the Ws when compared to the Thunder. We'll see.
Yeah, I mean, c'mon! Kerr AND the almighty Luke Walton?!
Maybe Watson can help out if he can get time away from his love in.

I am glad that I am not the only one that was pissed at Kerr after that game. I was incensed with his over reaction. That was when he was a part owner in the Suns but apparently still had a love affair going with Popovich. Commentators should report the news not make it. Oh well, he got gem of a deal with Golden State and inherited a team ready to win with a bunch of great assistant coaches. I never was not a fan, especially when he was our GM, and still not a fan of Kerr at all. I like GS players a lot as well as Walton. We will see how he weathers this storm. If he can turn this series around I will be impressed but I still do not like the guy.

Go Thunder.

Energy big, there's a place for those guys but 5 points, 3 blocks, 15 boards? Be careful overpaying those kind of dudes. He's not exactly Rodman out there though he was all over the place in the 4th Q tonight.

Biyombo is going to get WAY overpaid this offseason. I hope MJ brings him back to Charlotte so he could be a bust there all over again.

Ben Wallace made a nice career after being a scrub early on.

So, no suspension for Green. BS! Too bad Silver wasn't the commisioner when Horry knocked Nash into the stantion.

The NBA, forever pandering to their stars. Gross. If the roles were reversed and Adams kicks Green, he's suspended, no doubt in my mind.

At least they upgraded it from Flagrant 1 to Flagrant 2. A nice rebuke to Kerr's nonsense. And Green's next Flagrant will earn him an automatic suspension.
