Poole misses the layup and then says "call that sh**" to the ref.

And Green kicks him for good measure.

He did not kick him on that play. He fell on him incidentally. Come on, man.


I’m perfectly fine calling out dream on green for his bull crap when it’s deserved it was not on that play.

I see what Draymond Green does. Go look at the replay.

Maybe it is just me, but it seems all Boston does is play ISO and hero balls.

Yep again no techs or anything preferential treatment for GS. Book would have been T’d instantly…

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

I’ve never seen Klay look so terrible.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Dubs better stop screwing around…clock keeps stopping and anything can happen.

I saw the replay dozens of times you’re seeing what you want to see.

you have to be kidding earlier in the half after Boston's coach already had a T he pulled his mask down and swore at the ref multiple times, on camera clear as day and they didn't call it.

Swearing alone does NOT get a T usually there's also generally a gesture, or the ref telling you stop talking and you keep going. What Poole did happens 25 times a game in the NBA.

I have no vested interest in who wins. Green fouls Brown, brings down his heels on top of him when he is on the floor and shoves him for good measure.

if you think all of that was unintentional I don't know what to say.

He definitely should’ve been T’d for that… He stared at the ref for 30 seconds before even said that too.

He fell on top of him he didn’t even have time to shove his foot in the guys face intentionally. Had he done that he would’ve gotten a Flagrant to and he would’ve been tossed.

Green brought his feet down on top of Brown after he fouled him. Then he shoved him. It's not hard to see what happened.

That is not how it went down.

Green ran at him on the three-point attempt and they fell into each other.
The way they fell, Jaylon wound up on the inside of Draymond‘s legs. His feet were in the area of his head incidentally. Jaylen then grabs his feet and shoves them off in anger. Then Green gives him a little baby shove in the back and says something to the effect of “I didn’t I wasn’t doing anything.” then Jaylen stood over him looking for a fight.

You made my case. Green ran into Brown and the rest ensued.

 

[GatorAZ]

How the hell Payton playing after crushing his elbow?

No,
I did not make a case for you. It was a common foul when he ran into him.

He was trying to make a play on the three-pointer and he made contact with the shooter which happens many times in NBA basketball games.

 

[Covert Rain]

You come to expect a couple games a series like this from GS. Boston still came out ahead and did what they needed to. They did their job and stole one at GS.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

So good to see the Warriors bounce back and trash the Celtics. Always a good day when they lose.

 

[Mainstreet]

I have no problem with the initial foul. It happens. It's what happened afterwards.

I can't help it if the referees didn't want to give Green a second technical and toss him.

And I suppose when Green ran over Grant Williams it wasn't offensive foul because it wasn't called.

Payton +15
Tatum -36

 

[Russ Smith]

game 1 Horford, Smart and White go 15-23 from 3. 2nd game White held up his end but Horford and Smart go 0-3 combined Horford didn't even attempt a 3. White went 2-4 so 2-7 after 15-23.

That's the game in a nutshell

Yep.

Interestingly in Steve Kerr era, during the regular season: the Warriors have a losing record at home versus the Celtics and the Celtics have a losing record versus the Warriors at home.

Disagree you can tell a ref call that expletive and not get a T. When you say you are expletive, automatic T.

Players and coaches swear at refs all the time and don't get T's.

 

[Russ Smith]

Exactly tough as nails. Near as I can find it out it was NOT a radial head fracture which is what the original speculation was locally. That's the really bad one out for weeks immobilized, so whatever it was we got lucky.
He had a huge impact in this game just slowing Tatum down.
