11 minutes without a foul called on the Kings. This one is not getting overturned it will stand as a charge on Looney. The one earlier where Draymond nearly got a T he actually got slapped in the face by Monk with no call and then Monk hit a 3.

Man I'm glad Wiggins is back that wrong foot fallback was the dagger.

GP2 changed the game both halves, I am so glad they traded to get him back.

Draymond is so good idk how ppl can’t see that.

He and Looney tonight the defense has been amazing. when they were in with GP2 the Kings just couldn't score.

He's not a scorer so a lot of people miss out on how good he is

Most warrior fans will tell you that during their runs curry was the mvp of the league but Drayton was the mvp of that team

The local announcer just put it into perspective they were 11-30 on the road this year in the regular season and 0-2 in the playoffs so 11-32 before tonight. You want to believe tonight means that issue is gone but 25% road record makes it tough to have confidence in them making a run.

Warriors are a problem. I’m hoping we make it there but objectively speaking the odds on scenario is suns warriors WCF. That’s must see TV and the Suns will definitely need to earn it to get to where we want to be.

One thing I have been noticing lately is everyone is like "they choked" or "sucked". How about the other team played better and took it?

Gotta to tip the hat to the Heat and especially Butler. It's diminishing to their accomplishment to say the Bucks choked. They didn't.

This is why I wanted the Clippers MASH unit and NO PART of the Warriors in the first round. We aren’t there yet and if we had played them this round, we woulda been dunzo.

But we’re finding our way and if we we gel in this next series and advance I think we’ll have a puncher’s chance to beat them.

The Cam/Bridges version of this team never beats the Warriors, IMO. But there is a world where our team gains confidence and Booker/KD supernova us over them.

The Bucks blew back to back 15 and 13 point 4th quarter leads. That’s choking.

The Kings have a great setup but they're interviewing Steph in the postgame now and you can't believe how many Warriors fans there are behind him. Kings fans are loud but there's a lot more Warriors fans there than i expected.

Honestly it was a combination of both. Milwaukee had a 10 point lead at the 3 min mark and didn't score after that. The game was tied with a 0.5 sec left with a timeout and didn't call it. Down 2 in OT with 10 seconds left and they didn't even get a shot off

The mental breakdowns were awe inspiring

Last 3 games Kevon Looney has 58 rebounds and 22 assists!

He's guarding Sabonis 1 on 1 no help at all and completely outplaying him. Key to the series IMO it's allowing the Warriors to help on Fox, Monk and whoever else because they don't have to double Sabonis.
