I was just going to say this. Draymond's body language reaction tells you all you need to know. He knew in the moment he caused that, and it's obvious when you see how he reacted. This blogger or whoever he is just wants to get clicks with a hot take. He knows that Draymond is the well that always produces hot takes so he's playing the contrarian by taking Draymond's side on something knowing that people hate this guy and will rush to correct him. Lazy sports journalism.
The crazy thing is that you can see all over social networks the crybaby Warriors fans, claiming we injured Butler in purpose so we can win. Now all of the fans that just read headlines and go over the box scores, w/o watching the game or even the f****** replay of this specific play, are gathering the facts that (1)Butler got injured, (2)Amen committed foul on that play and (3)our general rough defensive game, and accusing us in being dirty and injuring Butler..smh. Some even call out to suspend Amen, no less! I hope Butler gets back and we beat these Golden boys either way.
it’s absolutely bonkers that no one points point out that Draymond pushed Amen into butler. Like, watch the freaking replay folks.
On NBA daily this morning they were asking if the playoffs are too physical. They eventually said they liked the physicality but it’s so obvious all these media people are doing narrative work for the warriors
At first watch I thought Draymond was responsible but after rewatching several angles in slow motion I see that Draymond didn't hip check Thompson (although 1 angle sure makes it look like it). Thompson was trying to go for the rebound but Adams was being held by Podziemsky while Draymond tried to box Thompson out. As Pozdiemsky pushes Adams towards Draymond, Thompson was squeezed between Draymond and Adams. This caused Thompsons legs to be behind Adam's legs. Thompsons forward momentum with his legs behind Adam's legs caused him to fall forward into Butlers legs.
Let me explain as I've seen this particular play a number of times....it was Podziemksy pushing Adams into Amen who was being squeezed by Draymond that caused the fall.
I immediately dismiss anybody who says the Rockets play dirty when Draymond is the opponent. This is the guy that had to take time away from the game to deal with anger management, that punched his own teammate in the face, and kicks people in the nuts.
After reviewing Curry's pelvic contusion against Toronto and this one, I've concluded Travis will be heavily injected for game 3 with limited mobility. Curry missed 2 games when it was thought he would miss weeks.
Put in Dante and take him or Curry out. Take it from the MLB, if the refs won’t take care of this then the players need to.
