Love the acting here starting at the 2:44 mark: https://youtu.be/glzx9zAtV9g?t=165

Plumlee did not touch his face.

Ty's comments in those videos going to get him some significant fines.

Good win. Time to rest up and open the last part of the season strong.

We outscored them 36-19 after Draymond did this ****.

I feel bad for Klay. The mental struggle he’s going through knowing he’s not the player he was and never will be again. He's not getting the extension he wants either. He’s not the first player to go through it nor the last. It’s a shame to see fans piling on him. It’s hard to see him not leaving.

he made a quarter of a billion as a glorified Kyle Korver thanks to playing alongside Steph Curry. No need to feel for him.

I would if not for being an irritating rival in the past. Hard to feel bad for any Warriors player injuries aside- never wish that on any player

Exactly. Kyle Korver with slightly better defense during his prime. It's all about being in the right system, playing along with the right teammates. The fact that some people think he belongs in the top 75 list is insane.

Kudos to Warriors and Dray 4D-chess move to get the Clippers going down the stretch...

I don't feel bad for Klay, but I do give him more credit than a Kyle Korver comp . Dude has lit up many 4th quarters in ways Korver never was capable of doing.

Coffey/Powell going nuclear. Bad pass by Harden but overall good.

Amir with 7 points in the last 3 minutes!

I agree with you in part. Klay is not the player he was before his injury. However the part I disagree is unless KK, Klay was actually turning into a very good defensive player. After injury Klay is none of that.

After his disastrous game vs MINN, Theis was DNP-CD.

According to the ESPN box score, PJ wasn't even suited up.

Steph is a great shooter and all, but they win 0 titles without Draymond anchoring that D. Only 7 of the last 33 Finals MVP winners failed to make either an All NBA 1st-Team or 2nd Team All Defense in their careers (Jokic, Curry, Durant(2), Pierce, Dirk, and Parker). In fact, of all multiple time Finals MVPs, only Durant and Magic failed to ever make an All-NBA defensive team.

Not saying Steph is not a HoF player, but he isn't hoisting any trophies without Draymond picking up the defensive burden. He would have been more in line with Tracy McGrady, Allen Iverson, Carmelo and Harden. Great offensive players.

You are right that any great player still needs a great team to win an NBA title (or multiple titles.) But setting the rings aside, I think you are underselling Steph here. He is an absolutely otherworldly shooter, able to maintain high production and high efficiency, on both good and bad teams. Not only is he practically unstoppable from distance, he is able to use his outside shooting to create opportunities and finish very effectively at the rim as well.

He is absolutely carrying a very mediocre GSW team on his back this year while shooting 46%/42%/92%. Not many players could do that, much less at 6'2" and at the age of 35.

Pretty close. Nursing a sprained ankle for the last 2 weeks. Even missed a couple of games.

Lillard continues to deal with a nagging ankle injury but is expected to suit up for a fourth straight contest. The star guard is struggling with his outside shot as of late, converting just 31.6 percent of his 7.6 three-point attempts per contest over his last 10 appearances.
