    Okay that was 100% intentional. Will the league actually look at that and do anything? This is ridiculous. What a piece of ****.

    Moories and his analytical mind, have failed to take this type of player into account in building a championship team! A knucklehead with braun, who doesn’t take crap from anyone, goes a long way in leveling the playing field....

    Bust out the Olajuwon goggles from storage.

    We need a Vernon Maxwell on this team.

    That was an obvious flagrant foul, just as Green shoving his fingers in Harden’s face AGAIN was an obvious flagrant.

    What is the league going to do about it?

    I think if we say something or morey inquires about it they'll send Tony brothers or Scott foster next game.

    I agree. The league is softer than it's ever been. Having a few hard, dirty players in this environment is suddenly a huge advantage. This is also why I spit when anybody, including on here, says that this Warriors team may be the greatest team ever assembled. BS. In earlier eras, Green, Pachulia, Bogut, and the others over the years would have been swiftly dealt with by players on other teams, and the Warriors would be left with KD and a couple thin guards who probably wouldn't last very long either before they broke.

    The Rockets' problem is that they're so light on big men that you couldn't have an obvious choice like Nene just stomp Green a few times to put him in his place.

    Rivers gets hurt by Green at the end of the game. This guy is nasty. Can Morey sends video to NBA officials

    This should be a suspension. If it was just the first time, whatever, but he knows Harden's injury and that hand was nowhere near the ball and it looks like some extra force was put into it...and he has a history of doing it at this point.

    Honestly don't see this one as being that bad. Just hard basketball and I think Rivers embellished a bit. However, that swipe to his face again was definitely on purpose. Some scrub on the bench needs to take Draymond down with a hard pick.

    So he's graduated from nut shots to eye pokes?

    I keep watching this, and, I don’t like defending Draymond, but it doesn’t look like he did anything wrong. He set a pick, Rivers ran into him at a bad angle, and it look like Austin’s head bounces off Draymond’s chest.

    Draymond does move his right foot forward a bit when Curry goes behind him to seal Rivers off, but that wouldn’t have added any force towards Rivers. Can’t see if his left arm or shoulder moves towards Rivers at all from this angle, but it doesn’t look like it.

    Looks like Austin just fell victim to a really hard, but legal pick. Maybe he couldn’t hear any call outs due to the crowd noise. Hopefully, he’s ok and can go Monday. We need him.

    The finger to the eye...there’s definitely something there. We already know Draymond will go after injured Harden body parts.

    What Harden is doing with one eye tied behind is back is nothing short of amazing.

    It looks normal, BUT he does lift and flex his shoulder which ultimately levels Austin.
