thats a perfect ratio

He finishes with 30 assist and 30 turnovers. How he kept it perfect is pretty damn impressive

They murdered KD last night. They even left the studio in a bus with Chuck driving

It was hilarious

Pretty sure we’ve known he was 6’5 for a long time.

I think we thought he was shorter than listed but not that short. Klay is also 6'5". So when they're in the new death lineup Draymond is guarding the 5 at 6'5" with Wiggins who I think was measured at 6'6" as the tallest guy on the court.

He’s been known to be 6’5 for years. It’s why he gets so much credit as one of the best defenders because how effective he is against ANYONE at that height.

I think everyone is just afraid of getting grabbed or kicked in the junk

There's that but Azabuike describes it better than anybody else IMO. Draymond has a knack for getting up under the offensive player and making them feel uncomfortable. It's the key to defense make them do things they don't want to do. Joker against Looney has been a foul a made hook shot or both all series, against Draymond last time I saw the stat he was under 50%.

Klay surprised me, but I don’t know why. His 6’7 year as from the pre-no shoes counted days.

with his new hairstyle he's bigger!

I still want to get a tape measure and measure Gary Payton. I bet he's closer to 6'1" than 6'3". In this series alone he's blocked Joker twice and beaten JaMychal Green easily in a jump ball. I think it's not just hops it's arm length.

Draymond beat Joker in 2 jumpballs too but both of the tosses were ridiculously bad Joker didn't have a chance at either one of them because the toss was so bad

You ever go so long without a haircut you almost don't want to get a haircut but you know you need one badly?

I haven't had a professional haircut since Covid started. I bought a kit online and my GF has been cutting my hair ever since. I am half bald anyways she can't really screw it up. And with the masks I am always wearing a hat so the strap goes over the hat not my head so my hair is less important.

Funny story. I only had one of what I would call a "Covid Cut". My wife did it. It ended up somewhere between Lloyd Christmas, Moe Howard with shaved sides. It was so bad that I RAN to a shop to get it fixed right after pandemic or not. Even the girls who did my hair was nice but laughing about it. That was my wife's one shot and she blew it. Hamilton would be disappointed. There will NEVER be photographic evidence.

My GF did one like that but it was with something designed as a beard trimmer so not her fault. So then I ordered the kit off Amazon.

With my hair at this point it's hard justify spending money to have a professional do it.

apparently they are expecting bad traffic tonight Warriors at home and the A's and Giants play against each other.

Traffic is always bad in the Bay

lol same. My girl just butchered my hair. I essentially had to give myself a buzz cut to make even passable. Meanwhile I became a pro coloring her hair.

Can someone explain to me why the Warriors got 3 days off in between games… 3 TIMES in the first round? Meanwhile, we got one and have been every other day otherwise in the series.

 

[Russ Smith]

Poole was not good last game and completely silent first run tonight. Wonder if all the contact he's taking is wearing him down?

 

[Russ Smith]

This game is being ruined by all the fouls called both ways. Let them play

 

[Russ Smith]

too many turnovers and too many missed layups but given how well Gordon played to have a 5 point lead I'll take it

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

The last two foul calls that resulted in and ones for the nuggets were total phantom calls.

The Warriors are already getting killed in the paint we don’t need the refs exacerbating it with bull crap calls.

Is this the same crew that officiated the first game of the Boston nets series?

 

[Russ Smith]

Wiggins is just driving me nuts. Gordon is killing him at one end and he can't make a shot at the other. 6 early points then donut since then. If he had the aggressiveness Kuminga does he'd be a great player

Really the offense, 22 points in the first 5 1/2 minutes 23 since then

 

[Russ Smith]

At least Kerr seems to have figured out a few things. It would help if Draymond could make a shot but they need his defense, but Wiggins has been so passive he put Kuminga in and he gave us some life.

I'm starting to have Harrison Barnes flashbacks with Wiggins where when it should be easier because of the talent around him, he shrinks

I knew Bones Hyland had injured his leg jumping out of a burning building as a kid but I didn't realize what the injury was until Kelenna Azabuike said he tore his patellar tendon. Azabuike had the same injury as did I. I'm amazed how athletic Hyland is after that I know he's young but that's a brutal injury. Azabuike said he talked to Hyland about it and Bones told him the doctors still tell him your recovery went better than maybe anybody who's ever had that surgery.

I already liked him just makes me like him more
