    who knows. the conversation could easily be about something from earlier in the game or some kind of comment that Draymond made from the bench. there doesn't have to be a logic to it.

    The 'ole, "Who knows, so anything goes" argument.

    We do know that he wasn't mad at Draymond enough to call a timeout. And that Suns timeout was due to Green and Klays defense on Booker, over past 1:10 since Green was brought back into the game. And Green also just executed a great half-court set right after Kerr put him back in.

    I want it to be true enough to re-watch the game prior to that timeout in hopes I'd see Draymond fkking up. He didn't. He was closer to being the best player on the court, clearly executing the game plan.​

    I didnt watch the game, but on reddit NBA the thread about this there was a very deep explanation of what happened and why he probably said this by a warriors fan. I can summarize but I wouldn't do the post justice.

    Basically Draymond got benched in the 4th and they were +1, he didnt come back in until they were -10 with like 2 ¹/² minutes left.

    Draymond was visibly upset but they cut the lead to only 5 within a minute I believe as the defense ramped up. A timeout occurred around the 1:30ish mark and just as Draymond walked past Kerr he must have smarted off because immediately after, this clip happened.

    I can't wait until this team dies and the NBA is enjoyable again.

    It doesn't really matter whether Draymond deserved the comment or not (well, he kind of always deserves that comment); what matters is whether it was actually in last night's game. If so, when Draymond sees it, there's going to be yet another layer of underlying tension on that team.

    it doesn't matter at this point whether there's tension/strife in the Worriers' lockerroom. A healthy Rockets team is fully capable of beating a happy/jolly/confident Worriers team.............in a series.

    NY Post is reporting that Draymond was "animated" during the timeout

    Golden State coach Steve Kerr appears to have vented some frustration during the Warriors’ stunning, 115-111 loss to the Suns on Sunday night.

    “I’m so f–king tired of Draymond’s s–t,” Kerr could be seen saying, as later video showed Green animated on the bench during the same timeout.

    What the “–” between the “s” and the “t” means is up for debate, with some theorizing that it was an s-bomb, while others believe he was saying “shot.” Either way, Kerr was clearly not pleased with his forward. Green was 3-of-9 shooting and 0-for-3 behind the arc in the loss to the Suns. Green’s shooting has been a disaster this season, with his 3-point percentage plummeting to .250.​

    I guess there's no ambiguity about the "-" between the "f" and "king".......

    I honestly believe that, too. But against a team with 5 recent All-Stars, 2 recent MVPs and a recent DPOY, I'll take any additional edge we can get.

    I agree with you. However, I believe this rendition of the Rockets will peak at the right time (certainly trending that way) and can/will beat the Worriers in the playoffs in 5 games. I have thought this way for a while now assuming the Worriers were Happy-Go-Lucky.

    So if the Worriers have strife, that "edge" is insignificant to me as I feel the Rockets will handily beat them regardless. Usually an "edge" to me would be the difference between ousting a team within 6-7 games compared to 5 games or even sweep. Just my thoughts on this....

    I dare you to quote the NYPost one more time. [insert Pulp Fiction gif]

    Watch the game. It's actually easier to do than search the internet for other fans who agree with the bad lip-reading.

    lulz at using a NYPost writer...you must be pretty good in the D&D too...;)

    When you are blaming the fans for their energy, you have lost the plot.
