He knew he felt no sting whatsoever with the compression wear. He got slapped down there by accident not blunt kicked or punch like teammate Green does to other players.
Are you serious? That's twice you've mentioned the compression shorts. Let me hit you in the groin with those on, and lets see what you think after. The compression shorts don't protect that area any extra. It's thicker yes, but not so much so, that getting hit there is not felt. You still feel it, no matter what.
See to me that's a tech on dellavadova for playing out of control and a tech on iggy for the fake swing. Am I crazy? What's the damn deal with this team? Green already flailed over and kicked Irving in the chest. Irving got called for a foul. At no point should your feet be flying like that...tech on draymond for playing out of control.
OKC series showed you why you need superstars to win pressure games. CLE series, so far, showing you why you need a bench to win championships.
Considering they drafted Curry, Klay, Barnes, Draymond and added Bogut/Iggy the right way... the most dishonest thing I've ever seen is Lebron and Bosh lie to ownership and their current team while making a deal with Wade under the table who relayed it to Pat so he could clear up cap space. They traded 2nd overall pick Beasley after 1 season for a 2nd round pick I think it was. You want to talk about dishonest... Lebron, the guy who quit on his team and admitted to taking act classes to sell flops. That's dishonest.
Warriors are gonna keep winning for a long time. They are just too good. Even when their superstars dont perform they are still very hard to beat.
