These games are so fun. Can't have the second half start soon enough. The Dubs had that run towards the end that makes you think they can steal this if its close. This also feels like a game where a double digit lead is going to be hard to maintain.

The problem for GS isn't Fox or Monk. Its Sabonis who is absorbing punishment down low like a 70s back alley wrestler all while dominating the Dubs bigs.

GS really seems to lack the speed at guard to keep Fox/Monk out of the paint. Draymond is really good at helping over and protecting rim, but it's hard to win enough battles when the Sacramento players are just blowing by the first line of defense each time. I guess this is where it's disappointing Poole hasn't evolved into being a good defender, because he certainly should have the speed to stay in front of these guys.

And then they’re in groupings where Wiggins (!) is covering Sabonis.

The year is 2030. TNT airs some guy named Farty McJorts in an actual clown suit to explain why Draymond bringing a gun onto the court was an inadvertent act.

That last angle makes it look really bad. And it was shitty to begin with.

Please let this be the end of Draymond's absurd double standards. Wishful thinking but my god, you can't ignore that.

Draymond must be the unluckiest guy in the world, somehow opposing players keeps materializing directly in his way without him having any idea what’s going on.

IDK man, I think there is some plausible deniability that Sabonis wasn't really grabbing his foot.

Sabonis was wrong, but the 2 actions aren't equivalent at all. And Green has a history...and he just hip checked Sabonis out of bounds and got away with it.
