    It is obvious and infuriating how the league is exposing itself again in this series against the Pelicans. They are not giving AD anything. In the 2nd game they had 66 points in the paint with only 9 FTs. 0 for AD!!! ZERO!!!
    36 of the Warriors with 27 FTs. There's no doubt that the Pelicans win this game with honest refereeing.

    So now the question is, who will speak up? Will anybody say anything? Players and the coach, will they keep silent? Which media members will call the referees out on their dishonorable, disrespectful and despicable behaviour?

    Please post videos, articles, quotes, anything please. Thanks

    This is not a good way to make up for civil rights struggles refs and totally out of context.

    0 FTAs for both AD and Jrue who together shot 48 times is laughable. They were both aggressive in the paint too.

    Thing is Draymond like a better overall Rodman and less of a rebounder is an enforcer every team wants to have.

    difference is that refs were wise to rodman's side antics and actually gave him unfavorable ref treatment, whereas donkey is rewarded game after game for instigating and outwardly taunting whilst being given full reign to b**** and scream at the refs all game without penalty

    I can only remember so much about Rodman, but his crazy image, with hair, piercings, women, drag queen lifestyle wasn't well received at that time.

    Draymond is wild but he does not do that many crazy things off the court.

    If I was Draymond, and I knew what my role was, and I knew that the league is allowing me things to do, then I would too......I would make money, win games, win rings.......what is there not to relish?

    As the opponent team takes what the GSW's D is giving them, Donkey is taking what the refs and the league is giving him.

    The fans of the other 29 teams are hating him for it, but that won't faze him, on the contrary, he thrives!

    The Scary part about Green is that he is very basketball intelligent and savvy, he can hide things and also does know what the refs will allow.

    He does not foul out that much. He knows how to D up and be physical.

    I now know why Royce White is behaving like he is, he thought he could be the next Draymond.

    He just does not seem to be that bball intelligent.

    the league sees everything in review from every game, but they turn the other cheek because GS probably produces something like 10-15% of league revenue and the owners' wallets always occupy the forefront

    Are you implying the league is corrupt?

    While that is true, the thing is the refs swallow the whistle in the playoffs, that is known to everyone.

    Fans cannot decide which calls he swallows and which he does not.

    Why are there superstar calls at all.......?

    Why should superstars be favored at all? That injustice has been going on forever from a philosophical standpoint.

    Superstars cater to the fans.....fans pay to watch them.....Donkey is entertainment to the fans of the Champsionship team.

    well i mean we already have clear precedent with the 2000 and 2002 WCF series, so there's little doubt that the league promotes their cash cows

    Just saw few clips about Draymond playing wrestling and the golden boy Curry tripping Davis...glad i couldn't watch the game. Davis and Holiday playing 90 minutes and can't get a single ft...ok.

    Warrior's defense is so great, they don't have to foul ;)

    Gentry normally speaks up on these things. If he doesn't, it's a direct order from the league.

    Hopefully the Rockets fair better.

    9-27 free throws once again.
    It's ridiculous, might aswell stop watching the NBA if its 5vs8 every time the warriors play. It's not like 4 all-stars should be enough, right?
