    That was an ugly fourth. Warriors are going to leave Rondo at the three line all series... and he actually made them tonight.

    Despite having home court, it's still going to be a pretty big upset if the Rockets beat the Warriors. I like their chances but it's still a very tough task.

    Pels fought hard and played wel.

    They have the best center in the game not suiting up and nobody on their bench can play.

    Fighting hard is all they can do for 4 games.

    Amazing how the warriors only play to their talent in the playoffs. Its like they don't give a crap about the regular season otherwise they would average 70 wins.

    Another huge FT disparity favoring the Warriors. Warriors are the only team that are allowed played physical in this series.

    NO is playing OK.

    But the warriors have not 1 but 2 cheat code to turn on.

    Durant shoots over you and Curry shooting from half court.

    I guess the biggest worry playing against them is their sixth man gifting them calls and swallowing their whistles mid series

    AD with 0 fts despite attacking the paint all game long. Draymond plays by a different set of rules been saying it for years.

    Something I saw on a gsw pnr. The player came around the screen and attacked towards the rim beating his man.

    Nothing abnormal right?

    Well it was Davis obligation to rotate, and he was attempting to as the player (I believe Durant) pulled up from floater.

    Now typically this is something Davis could and would easily contest and possibly blocking. But what I noticed was what draymond did.

    Just before Durant went up for his shot, draymond hooked (grabbed) Davis back side arm while starting to ”sprint back”.

    What it did was completely stop Davis from being able to step over and rotate and actually made him lose balance.

    Meanwhile, it seemed like inadvertent nothingness , except I was purposely watching how draymond defended Davis.

    I fully admit maybe I'm biased here, but from everything I've seen of Draymond, I really do believe this. I think it goes for some other smallball center/PF types, even PJ Tucker possibly, but Draymond is allowed to play more physical than most. I'm not a fan of any of the Warriors, but he's the only one I truly can not stand.
