They should have took Beal when they had the chance

This could open the door for a Beal/Kuzma deal. That's like asking if you want the electric chair or firing squad though.

Cavs/Heat would’ve been us vs the Thunder.

 

[Russ Smith]

Start Hield for offense and he gets 2 steals in the first few minutes and bricks both open 3's he takes. I'll take the start though

 

[Russ Smith]

not a good feeling on this one Butler is clearly limping and the Rockets are just selling out on Curry and daring anybody else to beat them. Not sure how many 3's we can expect from Draymond and Podz, only being up 2 after 1 quarter the way it started is bad news

 

[Russ Smith]

Should be T on Draymond, T on Brooks, jumpball IMO, Post and Smith should get T's. honestly there should be 2 T's on Brooks one for knocking Curry down and then the taunting one when he grabbed at the ball

 

[Hoop Head]

Reggie keeps saying Brooks should get a tech for taunting but Curry's taunt was much clearer. He doesn't even mention that until the very end of the review.

Technicals given to Green and Curry for GS and Brooks for Houston.

 

[Russ Smith]

That was weird but is the foul on Thompson or Brooks? Because if it's Brooks he got a T too right?

Brooks got the regular foul and then the T.

 

[Hoop Head]

Did Curry have a tech already? Why did he go to the locker room?

 

[Hoop Head]

Now Curry is back.

 

[Hoop Head]

Time to toss Draymond. Just grabs Eason's jersey.

 

[Hoop Head]

So dirty. Draymond seemed to try hooking Eason's leg as he was getting up also. He doesn't deserve benefit of doubt.

 

[Dback Jon]

Should be another T on Green and an ejection

 

[Hoop Head]

Should be another T on Green and an ejection

Such a weird call. Flagrant so he's able to stay.

 

[Dback Jon]

Such a weird call. Flagrant so he's able to stay.

Yup. Should have been tossed

 

[Russ Smith]

Just kick out Draymond and Brooks and finish the game without all the nonsense. I don't get why the flagrant on Draymond isn't an ejection since he already had a T. I don't get why Brooks didn't get 2 Flagrants there one for the shoulder hit to that floored Steph and then one reaching in after Steph taunted him.

 

[Hoop Head]

Like 2 minutes of basketball in the last 30 minutes. Ridiculous. Coaches need to rein in their teams at the half.

 

[Russ Smith]

whatever they did when Steph was in the lockerroom they need to undo it he can't hold on to the ball since then. I'm guessing they retaped the thumb? He just completely killed us the last 2 minutes, 3 turnovers 2 of them led to immediate points.

Guys on Warriors world are saying they took tape off Stephs thumb when he was in the lockerroom and then when he came back he couldn't hold on to the ball. No idea last game he had white tape on it end of the half it was black but I don't have any video from earlier to see if he had white tape on then or not

 

[Russ Smith]

Sengun is great but that's the 3rd time Draymond semi pulled the chair on him and made him miss a layup. He keeps bumping into Draymond and then spinning off the bump and when Dray backs up he loses his balance and misses.
