Draymond Green, psychopath, doesn't think he did anything wrong.

Welp. He basically just said he did it on purpose because he thinks he's getting jobbed by the refs for leg grabbing.

Me thinks Alex Len needs to come down HARD on a few rebounds next game.

Hopefully coach Doug can spend some time with Len over the next few days.

The Warriors organization seems to enable this behavior. Will be interesting to see if they sign him again

I’m sensing a level of false bravado in all of these Warriors press conferences. I’m not looking for the white flag here and I’m sure they’ll be better at home and I’m not calling the series by a long shot…but they aren’t “feeling us out”.

Warriors have worked extremely hard these first two games and got nothing. They have shot better than the Kings these first two games. They have executed their game plan as they said they wanted. Look at how the Kings shot from three tonight. Kings matched them for turnovers. Kings actually ended up losing the board tonight.

It’s really not a matter of a ball bouncing one way or the other. Kings look like they are a flat out tough matchup for them.

I also sense the Warriors are having a hard time keeping up physically. Kings are too fast for them but also matching or exceeding them with physical play. I don’t think they expected that. You see them out there huffing and puffing. They are looking like an old team. They only go on big runs when the Kings quick shoot and bail them out. Kings are wearing them out on both ends otherwise..and the Warriors dearth of solid reserves will only put more heat on Steph who the Kings have game planned well against.

Let’s just hope Domas wasn’t seriously injured

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

This is like a dream man…. After a 16 year Playoff drought, we match up with the defending champs, the dominant 2010s dynasty, NorCal rivals from a bigger market… and we take a 2-0 lead, giving that same dynasty their very first 2-0 deficit they have ever had in their run.

PS: Draymond is the dirtiest POS ever

Who is Alex Len coming down on? Draymond ain't playing next game.

And the Kings were better on the road record and stat wise.

How weird it would be if that was the last time Draymond played for the warriors

Glorious. It would be glorious.

When will we hear about the results of the X-ray?

All I'm focused on right now haha

Absolutely deserved

Could not agree more.

Just got back from the game. Amazing experience Yet again. Light the beam!

The d was ridiculous tonight

 

[Fantazija]

Davion player of the game. Dude hit big shots and was STUNNING defensively on Steph, especially in the 4th quarter. This is exactly what you envisioned him being when we drafted him. Wow

It should be between him and Monk.Domas and Foxy did what they supposed to do as All Stars and All NBA guys, but Mitchell and Monk where excellent in key moments

 

[Hillbilly]

Looking at the replays of the stomp I see a strong case for a suspension. He seemed to grin about 3 steps later...I hope NBA gives this a long look...

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

I was wondering. Did Mike Brown even called a one timeout in the game? I really can't remember haha

 

[kingdivac]

Recall to begin the series - 15 of 17 pundits had Warriors winning. in 6 or 7.......

https://twitter.com/x/status/1648203498524385282

I'm feeling the wins - the exuberance of youth - especially with the block party going on......that Monk block on Wiggins who has 3" on him easy was manly.

 

[Fantazija]

One of my keys in taking Jordan Poole out of the game and not only was he useless tonight, he was in full end of the bench giggling and egging on Draymond mode in the fourth quarter. All nestled up in his hoodie comfortably chit chatting knowing he isn’t getting back in the game.

I am a bit ashamed of myself for actually being worried that this flopping clown would be a difference maker in this series

The Warriors are straight up REELING right now. They just got punched in the mouth and, especially after their adjustments didn't work in game 2, feel like they are running out of options. They are very, very nervous.

They didn't envision this happening at all. They were ANGLING to play us. Can't remember - were they one of the teams that openly stated they'd prefer to play us? Imagine the humiliation if/when they lose this series. They'll blame in on the league for suspending Draymond of course. I can already hear the excuses...

Time to stomp them out (metaphorically of course).

 

[King-Da-Yah]

This game really showed the value of Mitchell and Barnes.

Mitchell is a winner, just straight up. Not scared, tenacious, just built for winning,

This was obvious during his 1st year summer league, you could tell the dude was legit.

Stone cold during his championship game too right? Although I didn't watch it, I could tell he wasn't scared during the highlights.

You don't just trade or dump someone like that that can provide his winning intangibles and do what he does on defense. Super important for the team, his impact goes unstated

And Harrison Barnes really showed his value in this one. Calm, I remember some big plays too like skying for the ball for what I believe was a rebound or tip, I didn't even know he could get up that high

Got some huge huge buckets down the stretch as well.

So great, love this team

Regarding Barnes, When you are 6’8 with Lebron hops its mind boggling what you can do. Agreed though!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I was wondering. Did Mike Brown even called a one timeout in the game? I really can't remember haha

I was thinking about this in the 4th quarter. I don't remember any. Think he may be using it as a strategy to not give them any additional rest

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

The Warriors are only paying him $128M over the next four years.

That's a bargain for us.

128M

 

[whitechocolate]

 

[kingdivac]

Of course Espn headline focus on the ejection, when the Warriors got outplayed - spin-city

How are all those 15 of 17 pundits taking the Warriors now? The way the Kings were playing defense, I was 99.9% sure they'd win.

 

[Ozymandias]

We're really gapping them hard with points in the paint;

60 to 44 in game 1

54 to 40 tonight

 

[reptilexcq2]

Draymond stomp was intentional man. It's not natural. When someone grab your leg, it's natural to stumble and fall and even if you step on the guy, you wouldn't step like that....this guy has a knack for exaggerating with excessive motion whenever someone did something to him on the court. As a Warriors fan (being my backup team), I knew what I am seeing. His excuse was that Sabonis grab him. So what if he grab you...that doesn't mean you can stomp on someone excessively....let the refs make the call. I wouldn't be surprise if he get suspension.
