And I blame that Butler injury on Draymond Green. He shoved the Rocket player into Butler, undercutting him. Green is dangerous! He's also very sneaky about those extra kicks, hits, and pushes. I tell that to my Warrior fan buddy but he thinks it was just a normal, unlucky basketball play. Those Warrior-colored glasses have to be clouding his judgment.
He was out of control in that game. Pushing, shoving, hitting, talking trash, risky behavior and risking injury to other players. They probably should have tossed him out. I really don't like when Draymond plays like that.

You guys picked the wrong night to say you don't want Jalen Green.
It'll be the one good game he has.
Probably. I don't really know his game. Looks like he may be a chucker and found a nut last night.
Bingo. Jordan Poole with hops.
We could use some athletes though.

Why don't you tell Green to knock it off instead, Kerr!

OKC comes back after being down 29 points to take a 3-0 series lead against Memphis.

You forgot the part where Ja was injured and was out the rest of the game after they had the big lead.

Dang, I somehow missed that LAC/DEN was even on last night. I enjoyed watching the other two games. Knicks had a gritty win against Detroit that came down to the final possessions, and OKC mounted a furious comeback against MEM after Morant took that tough fall. That one looks like a sweep. I really enjoyed watching Scottie Pippen Jr though; glad to see him have a breakout game with 28 points. For OKC, SGA was the lead scorer with 31 points and 8 assists, but I also thought Chet played really well, with 24 points and 8 rebounds. (Chet is my pipe dream trade for KD this summer, but it will never happen.)

That's a real blowout for the Clippers. Denver is in trouble. I picked DEN to win the series, but LAC has been on such a tear lately, plus why would I pick the team that fired their coach a week ago? This season Jokic has been carrying the Nuggets and has been masking some deep problems they have on that team.

I think the Grizzlies have been done for a while and the Nuggets are on the post-title decline (similar to the Bucks). So I don't know if Jenkins or Malone would've made a difference for their teams but I still would rather have them on the bench than not.

And now the NBA rewards him instead of fining him:

Gross. I guess the rest of the NBA didn't kick enough dicks to qualify.

Ja will miss Game 4 of OKC/MEM due to the hip injury he sustained in his fall. Cancun, here they come!

Unreaking real. What a joke. That’s who the league wants to highlight?

If you follow the link they posted, the hustle stats they used to support his win have him with the following rankings:

6th
15th
22nd
13th
2nd
39th
36th
32nd
10th

Which all add up to make him #1?

That was a crazy finish. Kind of their version of the Valley-Oop.

Obviously biased but I think the Valley Oop is more impressive because it was a BLOB play against a set defense with Jae throwing the perfect pass from behind the backboard.

Either way, it's great that both plays were against the Clips.
