Just caught the replay.. i LOVE it! These two teams genuinely hate each other which makes for great entertainment. Blake's 2nd T was horse**** and you know Mark Jackson set it up by baiting, which is "good coaching" I guess but just as classless as hackashaq in my book (something Jackson also loves). Rare to see CP3 blow two chances at the end although it looked like it should have been a blocking foul on the guy who wasn't set in the circle, but they won't call that unless you are Kobe or Durant, so whatever. Can't wait to wax these chumps back in LA. Gamblers, mark your calendar.. that will be a blowout. (am partially ok with this cause Clipps covered the spread and made me an extra $500 in my Chrismas stocking, but obv a win would have been better!)
He's an awful tactical coach but his lack of ethics produces some wins. However, this act won't go far and after GSW fails to make the playoffs or ends up in a 7 or 8 seed again after having one of the most talented rosters in the league, the fantasy run will be over for this hack. I just hope he doesn't make his way back to broadcasting because he's an even worse commentator thana coach.

Speaking of Draymond Green, at what point does a player become a "repeat offender" in the NBA? Is that purely a banned substance term? I haven't kept count of his flagrant fouls but it seems like they occur semi-regularly. The NBA needs to make an example out of him.
I think the "repeat offenders" are already punished extra by being more scrutinized. Some of the techs and flagrant fouls called on the liked of Matt Barnes, MWP, etc. would not be called on most other guys.
