Rockets HC sends stern warning to Warriors after Game 2 win

The Warriors looked small and helpless against a Rockets squad that thrives when it imposes its will physically.

I have very little sympathy for the Warriors when it comes to injury luck in the playoffs, as their dynasty involved a lot of seemingly deliberate, really dirty plays, but upon further review, this one is either Thompson being really dirty or it is caused because he flopped... thinking it was Green pushing him but it was actually Adams knocking him forward.

I think the contact with Draymond put Amen off balance but yeah not accurate to say Draymond pushed him after seeing that replay.

They had the coach Udoka on mic saying during a timeout keep playing physically they're not calling anything keep it up. He wasn't telling guys to injure Warriors of course but he was clearly telling them to keep grabbing and pushing Steph because the refs were allowing it. Steph did a bad job of adjusting several of hs turnovers were him expecting to get a call that didn't happen and just losing the ball. Very physical game.

We'll see if Butler can go in game 3 o.r not I'm not expecting him to. Still say the NBA needs to look at the push by Green on Payton and the takedown of Steph by Brooks. The Brooks play is clearly a fine if they look, the Green one is borderline. Draymond's screen on Van Vleet should be a fine too.

Warrior fan’s hypocrisy complaining about cheap shots will just always be ludicrous to me considering Dray is the cheapest player in the league and in their first title run, their dirty as hell C took Kawhi out for the entire series.

Your team deserves every cheap shot they get.

Friendly fire. Draymond pushed/fell into Thompson who fell into Butler as he was in the air. Jimmy landed on his back and tailbone has a bruised pelvis out for the game. Actually can't believe they're even somewhat competitive, Podz is sick and Payton is playing with one arm.

If Jimmy can't go the Warriors are in trouble in game 3 although Podz should be better by then

That's a tough fall for Butler as Thompson completely took the legs out from underneath him.

It didn't look like Draymond pushed him that hard.

Green is an expert at dirty plays. Looks can be deceiving. I totally blame Green. He is a danger to all players including his teammates.

I’m not a fan of Draymond, but I think Thompson may have exaggerated the fall.

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

Yeah we didn't get the other angle during the game so at the time it looked to be totally on Draymond. From the other angle it looks like Thomson tried to sell the contact and then wound up putting Butler in harms way

Apparently you missed me saying Draymond should have gotten a flagrant for the screen on Van Vleet?

Last nights game got out of hand, Draymond was acting like he was mad about Butler being hurt and was trying to exact revenge, Kerr should have pulled him as I said last night

He was already in motion leaning forward while jimmy was still on the floor.

I didn’t miss anything. Y’all always get what you deserve as long as Draymond is on the team.

Do you EVER get tired of picking fights for no reason?

I literally spent last night calling out Draymond over and over.

 

[Russ Smith]

Hearing Warriors expect Butler to start Game 3. Apparently Payton is still in pain but going to suck it up and play. No idea on Podz but I'm expecting him to be better he said it was food poisoning

 

[Hoop Head]

The Pistons have more fight than I anticipated. All 3 of the games so far have been toss ups.

 

[Hoop Head]

Knicks eke it out 118-116 to go up 2-1 and win in Detroit.

 

[Hoop Head]

The NBA doesn't make sense. During the regular season they won't start the second game in back to back national TV games until the first finishes but in the playoffs they start at their scheduled time regardless of the status of the earlier game. First quarter is almost over in Memphis but the Knicks/Pistons ran over. You'd think they'd want more eyes on playoff basketball than regular season but whatever.

Dort is a dirty player, the worst kind, and the refs rewarded him all the years! That's the most ugly foul seen in a while, that on Morant.

Schizo-series going on down in Memphis.
