Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Better team won
 
Excellent game and fun to watch. The team showed a glimmer of what they can be. I think a road trip with practice days built in may have been just what the doctor ordered.
 
Went back and looked. 73 free throws between the teams is insane
 
The Warriors is the exact team we are built to defeat. They lack size, perimeter defense, physicality. We
 
Gotta keep them in the game at home. I meant it when I said, gotta win by 15 to win by 5.

We are a really bad match up for them. Especially with them trotting out broken ass Klay Thompson. It's a joy to watch.
Was surprised Green got the 2nd technical on their home court. It was so egregious though the refs had to call it and it was against Mitchell who is a bigger star that Draymond. But man, the calls kuminga was getting was hilariously bad. Wade iirc had like 3 bad calls on him for just standing. Even the challenge for the offensive foul was questionable.
 
I actually enjoyed seeing Allen knock Green on his ass even if he was called for a charge.

Green really let his team down tonight. They needed him and he missed the last quarter and a half. All due to screaming at the refs and shoving Mitchell in the back. Inexcusable for a veteran who's been around as long as he has.

I assume he was trying to goad Mitchell into taking a swing at him and then Mitchell gets ejected, but Mitchell only responded with a hard bump, prompting an officials' review, at which point all was revealed.
 
Draymond had his antics turned up to eleven from the opening whistle. He ran his mouth from his first made three points for the Warriors through arm-barring Georges from behind in the first tech. Donovan didn't have a great offensive game. The potential to lose his cool was definitely there. I appreciate that just like in the Dillon Brooks game last year, he found the appropriate level of calling attention to a player trying to instigate.

He was ballhurt coming into the game.
 
Gotta love Mitchell going right after Green.

Mobley shut Kuminga down late in the game.

Mitchell sure gets blinders on during some of
his drives into the lane. There were a couple of
them tonight when he ignored a wide open, rolling
to the rim for a dunk, Mobley.

Feeding the bigs helps get them hungry for rebounds.

Loved the game, disliked Warrior announcers on the
NBA channel feed.
 
Curry noted Cleveland’s 43 free throws as an indication that they’d let the opposing team dictate the slower pace, forcing the Warriors into a half-court offense that gets stuck against bigger teams.


“They’re a tall, athletic team,” Curry said. “If you’re playing against set defenses and taking the ball out of the basket, and everyone sees you coming, that plays right into their hands. We talked about that coming into the game, but just didn’t do it. Their style is completely different to ours and we allowed them to play their type of game. In the NBA, you aren’t going to be able to out-shoot a team every night and overcome those mental errors. No matter how hard we fought in the third. It’s a tough way to lose.”
