Well, I've certainly developed a healthy hatred for everything Warriors after this series. This crap is so weird man

I don't know why we'd hate listening to these guys, fiction writing aside, for these Dubs fans to be right...

it'll have to be that this injury tweet is a Klutch Sports campaign led by Sham Charania for their newest recruit, De'Aaron Fox... to anticipate/forewarn/play-up his upcoming heroic game 5 performance.

I can't say I hate this potential reality they are alluding to.
 
The sad thing is I have a few friends that were Dubs fans back in high school in the 90s and all these clowns are representing the fanbase.

Also they turned the comments off to the tweet about that clip :D
 
Also Dubs fans still convinced Domas is "faking" a bruised sternum when I think we can all see he's struggling out there but fighting through a team that is basically throwing 15-18 fouls at him.
 
This just in. Not the news we want to hear in a closely contested series. .
Any confirmation on this?
Fox will need to shoot less. I am for starting Mitchell. More Lyles.
Less Heurter. More offense through Sabonis.
 
I looked again at the last 4.5 minutes or so of the game to see how Fox injured his finger. It's a mystery to me. I don't see where he made contact with anyone or anything. But I do see him shaking his left hand and looking at it like it was not right. And then after the injury he was off in his game -making an almost absent-minded turnover, ignoring Curry by going behind a screen, barely grazing iron on a medium range shot. He was definitely "off" in his game. So the question that comes to my mind is one asked by some others on the board: If he can play without further injuring his finger, what kind of effectiveness is he going to have? If his effectiveness is going to be similar to the last 4.5 minutes of the last game because of the aggravation of that finger, I would hope he doesn't play. I don't see how a 50-60% Fox is going to be better than a 100% Mitchell.

For whatever reason, this is real, and I think anybody who has ever played (at any level) can attest to it. A hand injury, in the immediate aftermath, affects everything. The "I hurt my hand, why can't I stay in front of my man anymore?" thing is totally real. But - and it's important to note that - this is a short term thing. It doesn't continue to the next day, even if the hand still hurts. So Fox may not be 100%, but he's not going to have that immediate injury effect where he's at like 50-60% at everything. Pretty much everything that's not left hand related should be back to 100%. But...unfortunately...he's a lefty so I have no idea what parts of his game it WILL affect, and how badly.

It's in the above vid Mr. Kingster. First couple minutes, he shows the game footage.

Oh yeah, it's real. Just like a toe can throw off everything, a finger can throw off everything. It can affect one's mind to the point where concentration and confidence is lost, resulting in turnovers, missed assignments, lack of general aggression, and obviously missed shots.

Oh, but it will be an accident. You know how Draymond is accident-prone. Like when he accidentally (on purpose) slapped Murray in the face. Accidents happen - especially when Draymond is in the game.

The mental gymnastics my Warriors fan family jump through to justify that man is disgusting. Talking about how dirty Len was for elbowing him in the lane that one time and never fessing up a single thing he does because it’s just part of the game. Smh

I hate Green with a passion. He must stand in front of mirror to come up with ways he can "accidentally" hit a guy in the face and not get called for it. He's got it down to an art form where when he defends his man he raises his right hand straight up (like it should be) while "accidentally" slapping his man in the face while supposedly going for the ball. It's total BS and more times than not he gets away with it.

I have a feeling this series is about to get really really chippy. If Fox does play, and there is any appearance of intentional swiping at that hand from Green (or any other warrior for that matter), things will erupt. Especially at Golden One. I really hope Fox is able to play and is at least relatively effective. Game 5 could be a historically epic battle.

It's nice to know that Lyles is available for the game. If he can go after Brook Lopez, he can go after that punk Green. Please, Lyles, do it!
