Mark Davis shouldn't have called that tech. Guys talk on literally every possession. A bullshit call. And Pachulia did nothing dirty there. Its an everyone gets a trophy game.

We have no idea what Draymond said. He may or may not have deserved the T. Pachulia moved right under Kawhi with no purpose. Wasn't blocking the shot. Just moved underneath to knock him off balance.

They've been calling it tight on both ends. They've called 30 fouls so far and we're 5 minutes into the third quarter.

Ruh-Roh. No Kawhi. The Warriors opportunity to steal this one is right in front of them.

Agreed on the first point but it doesn't matter. Its the NBA, guys talk on every possession. Regarding Pachulia, he was contesting the shot and came forward into Leonard's space. It was a legit foul but not dirty.

Iguodala has only played 10 minutes so far. Is he hurt?
I mean, Matt Barnes is getting minutes in his spot. This is strange. Why haven't the announcers mentioned this?

Also, Pachulia played the whole third quarter and has played 26 minutes so far. He's actually been pretty good too, although he got a lot better once Leonard went out and they could give him more help with LMA.

Spurs should take the air out of the ball in the 4th. Going to be interesting to see if they can close it out. I'm leaning towards yes.

That's a pretty soft foul on Gasol given how physical GS is being at the other end.

Thompson has been a complete non factor. Warriors probably have 1 more run in them. Spurs just need to weather it and get the ball into the post.

And Thompson with a bad possession there -- gives up an open three, makes a tough pass that Green can't handle.

We're almost five minutes into the 4th quarter and the Spurs have only 4 points. Without Kawhi they struggle to consistently generate good looks in the half court.

Considering how strong the West has been the last 3 years, GS has had amazing matchup luck. Outside of OKC last year, what healthy top team have they beaten? Now Leonard hurt. Not saying anyone would have beaten them but it would be nice to see a contest.

Let's also not forget a guy named Tony Parker. Without a healthy Kawhi, the Spurs shouldn't even come close to winning a game against GS. Shit, they don't even have to defend Patty Mills when he's more than 10 feet from the hoop.

I am a big fan out the announcers talking about how "GS figured it out on the defensive end". Yah I wonder what changed...but sure give them credit for injuring the other teams best player.

That was better from LMA, got something going towards the basket instead of settling for the fallaway jumper.

Just bring Bowen out of retirement to do his signature move to Steph. He basically invented that shit

You do know Leonard was injured prior to the game and re-tweaked his ankle stepping on his own teammate's foot, right?
