Great player but Morant is VERY lazy on defense. He keeps gambling for steals out near halfcourt and giving up layups. This warrior run basically has been picking on his defense

Draymond with some really bad turnovers. He’s made a ton of hustle plays though.

He and Steph throw so many high risk passes. When they work they're fun to watch but so risky. Kuminga saved another turnover from Draymond with a great catch

If you block the ball first, it's not a foul.

clearly a flagrant but I don't think that warranted an ejection. The crowd convinced the ref

If I was a Warrior fan I would be pissed at the refs. Some definitely questionable calls so far.

That flagrant 2 call on Draymond Green is one of the absolute worst calls I've ever seen in my entire life of watching pro sports.

Refs are wearing grizzlies jerseys today and they’re only up by six.

Rigged.

all things considered being down 6 is not that bad.

You could see Kerr after the foul on Curry, which I thought was a good call telling the ref that's the 3rd flop you've given to them when are you going to call the flop.

Still think he gets a T before it's over. Kuminga had really nice minutes, with Draymond gone he will have to play 2nd half too.
My guess is they will start Looney for Green and probably Poole for payton in the 2nd half.

Near as I could tell they never got the death lineup in there

It really wasn’t. He wound up and hit him in the face. He followed through and pulled him to the ground. Those plays separately would have been flagrant 1’s by themselves. Together? Was the right call.

Draymond tries to break Clarke’s nose than rips him down by his jersey. Dangerous play all around.

It wasn't that bad it's definitely a flagrant. I think he got ran because of the crowd and reputation I wouldn't have run him.

I would say the unfortunate part of that play is Draymond picked Kyle Anderson and Kyle got the ball back by kicking it and that wound up with him passing to Clark and the flagrant 2 happening. if they call the kick that flagrant part never happens.

I will never ever agree with this assessment. I am a lifelong Warriors fan and you might say I’m biased but I am also free to admit when you draymond crosses the line and that’s what flagrant 2 is for. He did not cross the line. Its the most ridiculous call but I’ve ever seen and I will stand by that.

I'd give Green a couple more Ts after the way he reacted after he was ejected. :cool:

Read the rule. Each one of those acts by definition is a non-basketball play. Now if the official explanation is that they didn’t consider the follow up act? I am with you. If both were considered? I stand by it was warranted.

What I don't like is he clearly tried to hold him up so it can't be the pull down. It had to be the contact to the face as Javie said.

I just want to see them once call a walk on either Morant, Curry or Poole when they do that run with the ball crossover. they called Poole for a carry once last series but today Ja has gotten away with a bunch of walks and Curry and Poole both had aggregious onces not get called too.

Always been a big Melton fan he's killing us today

I just watched that play again. Draymond didn’t try and hold him up until he yanked him down by the jersey first.
